Millwall boss Alex Neil said it is important his team win at home, after they beat London rivals QPR 2-1 with three of his new January recruits in the team.

"I think what it [this run of results] does do is it shows how quickly football can change. The last home game here there was a lot of frustration conceding in the 97th minute [against Cardiff City], which I understand. I think since then we've been brilliant in terms of the performances and results," Neil told BBC Radio London.

"It was important to me today that we won at home. Most of our fans come to see us here so I want for them to go home happy and put on a performance and, more importantly, carry a threat and score goals. I think right from the start we did that today.

One the new January signings: "The boys have been brilliant. We always knew we'd be bringing players in and Romain [Esse] would be moving on provided someone came in and bought him. We knew we were going to bring in younger players and develop the style.

"The hard bit with all of that is to do it and win, and we're doing that. We're doing what we set out to do and at the moment it's going really well."
