John Swift could be heading to West Brom, according to

Swift has shown in the last three seasons what an exceptional player he is at this level, so seeing him not get a Premier League move I would find odd. Can do better than the Baggies imo

Realistically, going on the pitch won’t help. Our last slight saving grace is League One football. It won’t do anything but burden us and get points deducted.
So back the boys. Get down to the SCL and treat every game like it’s our last, as it might very well be.

I feel like Andy Carroll's goal isn't being talked about enough (the quality of the goal, not the fact its Carroll that scored).
He gets put in behind (very un-Carroll like), has a great first touch, before cutting in and rifling it into the bottom corner. Quality👏

Because we won 4-0 it will get overlooked, but on the base of the game as a whole this save is as pivotal as they come.
They were really onto us early in the second half, and if they had scored here it would’ve been a completely different game at 2-1.

One positive from tonight however was Tyrell Ashcroft. Thought he looked tidy on the ball, and wasn't afraid to make a tackle. Millwall away isn't the easiest of debuts either. Hopefully we'll see more of him soon (We will, with the injuries, we definitely will).
