Carsley savours ‘great night’ for Brentford

Lee Carsley savoured Brentford’s first victory over QPR for 50 years.

Marco Djuricin’s second-half goal was enough to give the Bees their fourth consecutive win under their recently-installed head coach.

And Carsley declared: “It’s a great night for us. It’s nights like this that as a player you remember when you retire.

“The fact we’d not beaten them for so long makes it such a good occasion.

“We rode our luck, especially in the first half when QPR hit the post and bar, but they turned it around in the second half and were excellent.”

But Carsley again played down the prospect of him still being at the helm beyond the end of the season.

“The main thing for me was trying to get the belief back within the lads,” he said.

“They’re a good team and definitely weren’t doing themselves justice at the start of the season.”
