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.

You have let yourself down there 🙄
Not at all. IMO just left it to late. 21 pts left to play for no reason why we cannot win each individual match though, but as I’ve said I don’t think we’ll make it.

Fulton had a good game, a few early mistakes excepted. He was more progressive than Downes tends to be in that role. Looked absolutely shattered after 70 minutes.

Fantastic win, and at times some absolutely fantastic football, with plenty of green shoots coming through of how Russell wants us t play.
What I don't understand is, how can we can pass with so much accuracy up until we need to make a simple pass near the oppositions area, then we pass like a blind man with two left feet.
It's great to have positivity and not have posters knocking Martin every other sentence. Like a breath of fresh air.

He was a little disappointing tonight I thought. As was, understandably, Fulton.
I thought Fulton slotted in like he'd never been away. No Downes of course, but very decent.
Not seen much else but praise for him in other places.
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.
Thought Millwall were surprisingly one-dimensional tonight. Also a really poor turnout from their supporters. Having said that it’s always a relief to leave that ground without being kettled or worse, so no complaints on that score. First half we were a bit tedious IMO but second half was much better. Fulton should start every time. Good three points away from home.

Think you might be better off finding a new hobby because we are not changing the way we play.
Well done to the lads on another great 3 points.

I said that after the first game at Blackburn. Was a hard watch but you could see what he was trying to do. For large parts of the game we ran them ragged tonight. Well done RM, players and the travelling fans

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.
Ntcham probably still carrying an injury ? Christie gone off the boil a little but still good

Good to see BBC Wales news mention Swansea following up their historic win at Cardiff with a win at Millwall . They also mentioned Wrexham's win as well.

Thought Fulton did well considering he hasn't had many starts (if any ? )
That’s why I said understandably. I probably just focussed on the negatives tonight so maybe being a tad unfair. I genuinely like him and feel he should have had much more game time this season.
