It's been a great weekend - McCarthy

McCarthy has been forced to sell the club's best players to help reduce a £35million deficit and after tasting 11 straight defeats, expressed his delight with the double success.

"It's been a great weekend," he said.

"Very enjoyable and very rare. I said we played well in the two games we lost but it's convincing everybody.

"I said at Preston I will take the flak if we pass it and play well and we certainly played very well today.

"The players get anxious to play well in front of the home crowd and I am pleased for the supporters they have seen us play well and win."
