Bircham not getting carried away

Marc Bircham reckons QPR will not be getting carried away with their status as Second Division leaders.

Rangers took 13 points from a possible 15 in November to go top of the pile, earning Ian Holloway the manager of the month award.

But Bircham insists talk of the title is premature, and is putting all thoughts of promotion firmly to the back of his mind.

He said: "I'm trying not to think about that day - I'd get too excited!

"It's brilliant to be top of the league. It's a great team and a great squad, and the manager's deserved his award.

"But we're not reading too much into it because there's a long way to go. We've got to try not to get too carried away."
