Brentford boss Thomas Frank says there's three differences between the Premier League and Championship.
The Bees are enjoying a first ever campaign in the Premier League.
Frank told Bold, "Yes, there are a few (differences). One is, of course, the quality of players and teams you meet. It is of course significantly larger than in the Championship, and it is also in relation to the pace of the game - when it goes strong, then it goes really fast.
"There you can just see that there are players who can play at a significantly higher level than what we have experienced before. And in the conversions, there is a real slap in the face. These are the two things - the quality and the pace of the fight."
However, Frank also quickly nominates a third factor, which is a marked difference from the Championship - it just does not take place directly on the field.
"A third thing is of course the whole machinery. The circus with not just media, but the whole set-up. It is huge in the run-up to battle, during battle and after battle. There you can see that you have gone up to something that is world wide."
