RICHARD Lee reckons his performance against Hull City last night has given boss Andy Scott a headache.

With loanee Alex McCarthy unavailable, the former Watford keeper finally made his Brentford debut, and pulled off a string of fine saves as the Bees shocked their Championship opponents thanks to Marcus Bean's late winner.

And Lee hopes he's done enough to keep the shirt for Saturday's clash with Rochdale.

He said: "It was a nice feeling. It's been a while since I've had that feeling, and was good to get a game under my belt.

"The couple I had played before hadn't been great, so it was nice to show what I'm capable of.

"I was disappointed not to start the season, but I understood why I didn't. I hadn't played in six months and I knew it took a couple of games to get back into it.

"I hope I've shown what I'm capable of - it's up to the boss now what he does. The reason I came here is to play football and that's still the same."

With Simon Moore poised to go out on loan, Lee is ready to battle it out with McCarthy for the number one jersey.

He added: "I read on Sky that Alex had been signed and was disappointed, obviously.

"But it doesn't change the script - I've come here to play. I know the better I play in games the better chance I've got of playing games."
