Austrian striker Marco Djuricin grabbed a second-half winner as the Bees beat their fierce rivals for the first time in 50 years. It meant another miserable evening for Rangers manager Ramsey, who is already under fire from fans and under pressure from above at Loftus Road following their unconvincing start to the campaign. But Ramsey could consider himself unfortunate after Massimo Luongo was twice denied by the woodwork in the first half. "You have to take your chances when you get them and we didn't do that," he said. "When you go away and play in this league you have to play ugly and sometimes we are being too naive. "We gave the ball away cheaply for their goal, we went for a counter-attack and they ended up scoring. "The fans want the bragging rights and we feel sorry for them. They gave us support and unfortunately we haven't been able to give them the three points. "From my point of view, when you are in this seat you have to abide by what the owners want you to do. "When we get more settled I'm sure we can put a little run together and hopefully be up there." Luongo found the frame of the goal twice in the space of five minutes before half-time. The Rangers forward nodded a Matt Phillips cross against the crossbar before cutting in from the left wing to fire a low shot across David Button and back off the inside of the far post. But Brentford grabbed the winner in the 56th minute when Alan Judge broke down the left and drilled a low cross to the edge of the six-yard area where Djuricin tucked the ball home. The Bees have now won their last four matches under interim head coach Lee Carsley - who still insists he does not want the permanent role. "It's a big job, we are pushing to be in the Premier League and it's not a first-timer's job," he said. "I thought it was a great night for us. It was a different build-up in terms of expectation, with QPR being a former Premier League team and the fact we hadn't beaten them for so long. "It's nights like that that you remember when you retire. "The main thing has been trying to get the belief back with the lads. They weren't doing themselves justice at the start of the season. But all the things they weren't doing, they are doing now."
Hard to see when we barely can pass to our own. Player changes needed at the back. We started to play a bit end 1st half but the change to 4 4 2 when both Cheri and Luongo went off resulted in reverting back to hoof ball.
Wow ..................... we can't even go up the opposition goal line let alone go up to the PL. Love the 'still work in progress' ............ that's an oldie but a goodie that can be trotted out any month of the year. This guy is really delusional.
It's his job to say that. What's he supposed to say? "We're so poor and I'm so out of my depth that I don't even know I'm drowning"!!
Not me. I wrote at HT on here I hoped Austin was fit enough to replace Cheri, and let Jet fill Cheri's position, he was there a lot anyway. Ramsey did that but then took off our main creative player in the middle Luongo, admitedly though he hadn't woken up after HT. After these subs we did nothing, it was back to total Hoofball as usual when we are in anything close to 4 4 2 with only Toscer hoofing to anyone in blue. And Austin didn't look too fit.
The team last night couldn't dream of finishing in the top 14 The other clubs are settled and established the only way we will do that is to stick together If anyone on here wants a new manager then who? Will they guarantee you anything? Have to remain stable IMO Stay in this division this season hull will return and Boro the other place is a lottery
Most interesting quote from whole article came from the Brentford temporary manager with a statement Rangers can (or should) relate to.... We can go up. Just not with Ramsey in charge
We may have to do without the services of that battle-hardened warrior Sandro in our quest for promotion as according to the Standard (apologies, can't do links) he is unhappy at QPR and wants to leave in January to join a Premier league outfit. He has already put in a massive shift of 167 minutes and coupled with the heavy lifting he has been engaged in of his wage packet he figures he has given enough to steer us on our way to the toppermost.
I'm with Chris on this one and believe we will go up...........right I'm off to meet chris now and take the pigs for a fly
