Millwall v Swans

keith margam

Vital Football Legend
Well, after the euphoria of that resounding away win at Cardiff and the consequent hangovers from Wind Street celebrations slowly dissipating, we go straight into another away game, this time in East London at The Den, Millwall, on Tuesday night.
The question on every fans minds now is can we carry that scintillating form of Saturday into the eight games left of this season or will it be a case of “After the Lord Mayors Show”.
Millwall are 4 points off the play-offs in 10th place, Swans are 7 points behind them in 16th place in this tightly bunched division.
Millwall gained a very creditable 2-2 draw at 4th placed Luton on Saturday, taking the lead twice before conceding the draw with an own goal in the 87th minute.
Millwall are strong at home, last six matches W4 D2 L0 F7 A1
Swans away record last six matches W3 D0 L3 F9 A10
It’s an intimidating ground to visit and away fans are segregated.

Our home match against them last September was a 0-0 draw, after four home games and only one goal left us in 20th place as we struggled at the start of the season.
