His new goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher had seen three goals flash past him as Nuno Espirito Santo's impressive Nottingham Forest put the Bees to the sword before the half-time whistle had even blown. To add insult to injury for Andrews, whose elevation from set-piece coach to manager had been oft-dissected since he was confirmed as Thomas Frank's successor, Forest's opener in that 3-1 result came from a corner.
