Could more footballers benefit from hypnotherapy? Brentford's goalkeeper Richard Lee, the penalty hero of victories over Everton and Orient in the Carling Cup and Johnstone's Paint Trophy respectively, claims to have done so since he started seeing a hypnotherapist called Dave Sabat. "I've seen Dave four times now prior to each game and the impact he has had on my game has been immense," Lee said. "He puts me in a hypnotised state, which bypasses the conscious mind and then we go through the imagery of the game to come, so I'm feeling in a very positive state of mind. I needed a boost and since seeing him I've never felt more focused during a game in my life. I think my last four performances are proof of that." Lee, who once spent a season on loan at Blackburn, had been mentally low after making a "big decision" to leave Watford last summer, only to be dropped by Brentford after two pre-season games. Frustratingly, his man-of-the-match awards in four cup games this season have still not earned him a single League One appearance, Ben Hamer having kept the jersey since being signed on loan from Reading. "At the risk of sounding arrogant I see myself as a keeper who could perform well in the Premiership, as I have done already, and I find myself in the position I do," he says.
