Keith Andrews plans to keep rotating as Brentford reach League Cup quarter-finals

“I think if you go back to the previous two rounds, we had players that were playing in those that have fought a way in to the league games," said Andrews.

Keith Andrews has no intention of moving away from fielding Brentford’s fringe players in the Carabao Cup after a clinical 5-0 win at Blundell Park that ended Grimsby’s impressive run in the competition.

The Bees have never reached the final of a major cup but moved a step closer after goals from Mathias Jensen, Keane Lewis-Potter, Reiss Nelson, Fabio Carvalho and Nathan Collins blew the Mariners away.
