Brentford boss Mark Warburton admits his side are no longer the Sky Bet Championship's surprise package.

The Bees, who were only promoted from League One last season, had won five matches on the spin to climb to third.

But their winning run came to an end at Huddersfield on Saturday and Warburton knows opposition teams are now taking them seriously.

"We have to be prepared for games like that," he said. "Teams will look at how to stop us playing.

"We do the same, we analyse every opponent. We have to do what we do well and do it better than the opposition.

"If we do that we will be okay. We have to learn. Teams will stop us and we are not looking to get drawn in to a physical battle.

"We can handle ourselves, we can more than do that, but we want to move the football and impose ourselves on the game."
