Brentford boss Andy Scott has no problem with signing Huddersfield Town’s cast-offs providing Robbie Simpson continues his scoring streak.

The 25-year-old switched to Griffin Park in summer on a season-long loan in a bid to resurrect his career after an injury plagued campaign last year.

The Loughborough University graduate, who found himself surplus to requirements at the Galpharm Stadium, hit his third goal in as many games with the winner in Tuesday’s 1-0 win at Stevenage adding to strikes against Rochdale and Hull City.

And with the Terriers signed Crystal Palace striker Alan Lee - in a deal thought to be worth £350,000 - last month, Scott is only too pleased Simpson made the move.

“When you’re paying the wages Huddersfield are and bringing in the likes of Alan Lee then there are going to be players in the squad on the sidelines,” he said.

“Players may not be good enough for them, but he suits the way we play and he has scored a few goals.

“He is a goal scorer and is proving that, but he can play in a few positions and is a great addition to our squad.”

Simpson’s strike against Hull helped the Bees - who host Premier League Everton in the Carling Cup on September 21 - prove their reputation for upsetting the big boys.

They entertain Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday and Scott wouldn’t mind if Simpson put one over the Terriers’ Yorkshire rivals at Griffin Park in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

“They are the biggest side in the league and this is a massive test for us,” he added.

“They’ve made some good signings.

“It is going to be a tough game, but if we can do the things we are good at well we can compete.

“Performances are happening in the league and I’ve got no problem with the way we are moving forward.

“We are creating more chances and once we become more ruthless in both boxes, I’m sure things will turn around.”
