PHIL Brown picked out two memorable moments from Tuesday night's victory over Queens Park Rangers which he hopes could prove to be significant turning points.

The victory and super second half show was cause for huge relief as well as welcome celebration after a difficult spell in which the team had returned four draws, three defeats and just one win in their previous eight matches.

That return of seven points from a possible 24 had seen them slip from a position of strength in the chase for the top two automatic promotion places. And morale had been hit hard by the conceding of three last minute goals in successive matches which cost Wanderers what could be a vital six point.

When Peter Crouch headed QPR ahead with the visitors' first serious attack of the game three minutes before the break, Brown was left cursing the continuation of Wanderers bad fortune and could see yet another disappointed dressing room looming at the break.

They needed to break the spell and Brown picked out Gudni Bergsson's goal on the stroke of half time as the first sign that their luck could finally be changing for the better.

For the first time in four games spirits were lifted by a goal just before the team were to leave the field and Brown and Sam Allardyce would not have to again do their jobs in a depressed dressing room.

Wanderers never looked back and two stunning goals saw them get their first win in five games.

Brown believes that similarly significant after recent events was the sight of QPR's Richard Langley blazing a relatively easy chance high over the bar with virtually the final kick of the match.

Wanderers had been conceding goals at this stage of the match recently. Had this one gone in it would not have cost Wanderers victory but it would have taken the edge off a fine victory. The fact it went high and wide left Brown hoping we had seen the last of the recent problems.
