Play off chasers Millwall will be looking to return to winning ways in the Championship when they welcome Swansea City to the English capital on Tuesday night. The home side are currently 10th in the table, four points behind sixth-placed Blackburn Rovers, while Swansea, who thrashed Cardiff City on Saturday, occupy 16th position, 11 points off the playoffs.
MILLWALL Millwall won five straight Championship matches between February 12 and March 5 to place themselves firmly in contention for a playoff spot, but they have only picked up maximum points from their last five games. Since beating Huddersfield Town 2-0 in the middle of March, they have lost to Stoke City and drawn with Luton Town, which has seen them drop into 10th spot in the table, four points behind sixth-placed Blackburn. The Lions now have back-to-back home matches against Swansea and Barnsley before a trip to Preston North End on April 15, and it will be fascinating to see where the capital outfit are in the table heading into their home clash with Hull City on April 18.
Millwall have never played in the Premier League, so it would be some achievement if they earned promotion to the top flight, but they have a lot of work to do to reach the top six, with Huddersfield, Luton Town, Middlesbrough and Blackburn currently the four teams in the playoffs.
SWANSEA CITY Russell Martin's side have picked up seven points from their last three matches against Peterborough United, Birmingham City and Cardiff during a strong run, but a disappointing campaign overall has left them down in 16th spot in the table, boasting 51 points from 38 matches.The Swans are 11 points behind sixth-placed Blackburn with two matches in hand; the team can still mathematically finish in the playoffs, but it is incredibly unlikely due to the amount of sides above them. Swansea have been missing from the Premier League since the 2017-18 campaign, losing in the Championship playoffs in each of the last two seasons, and they are set for a fourth straight season in the second tier of English football, but the supporters will have been encouraged by the team's recent performances.
The matchday referee Andrew Davies has handed out an astonishing 81 cards in 28 games this season.
Probably could have done with another goal second half to kill the game off, but that's an excellent away result. Controlled huge swathes of the game.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Well,done the Swans, Management and team, and fans.
Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Can't say we didn't give them enough chances. We're a bit lucky they took their only footballer off and had Sheyi Ojo on with his boots on the wrong feet. Very nervy last few minutes.
Piroe must have used up all the goalscoring quality in the game with that finish.

I think we would have all taken a 1 goal win before the game winny.
Absolutely take that. Another big step forward.
What's most pleasing is that our off the ball movement is improving a lot. That makes the passing and ball retention more effective.

Enjoyed that tonight, the passing and the fluency is a joy to watch. I thing he has been watching that Lakers series and is a modern football version of Jack McKinney ðŸ˜
Must say that I thought Christie and Ntcham need to pull their socks up a bit.

That's what it's all about, pass and move into space, simple.
Triangles are back!

Ntcham is turning out to be exactly what most of us thought we were getting. A very talented player who has moments of brilliance but switches off too often.
