    It's not too clear on there, but on the Swansea channel last night they showed a view from behind the goal and you could clearly see their number 31 with his arms around Kayembe from behind, twisting him around and pulling him away from the ball as the corner came over. A lot of refs - including VAR - would ignore that, presumably in the belief that he might not have got to the ball, but he could have been there to impede the player who headed it in - which isn't a foul.

    I thought Bayo worked is socks off again, Kone seems a calm presence in midfield, Deli did well too. Defense solid but more work on defending corners, set pieces. I really enjoyed big Ken's celebration of the goal. Some relief and confidence coming back into the team I hope which may encourage them to risk going forward and crossing more.

    Bayo is certainly more suited to the role of lone striker than Rajovic, whose strengths seem to be setting others up a la Ross Jenkins and poaching goals when given the service. I could imagine them working well together as a front two - but don't suppose that will ever happen.

    I have seen it several times from several angles...and i think we are very lucky...... looked like the usual in the box antics ...which you could blow up for every time... but refs rarely do

    Nigerian Witch Doctors Curse ended????????

    We need to beat Millwall for so many reasons, they kicked and bullied their way to the double over us and Louza has still not fully recovered from the injury at Millwall

    We got revenge against Swansea now for Milwall
