It’s funny as a lot of criticism from the weekend came of the fact that we made subs and got weaker, didn’t look the case tonight!

After we scored the equaliser it was great to see AS and his coaches encourage the players to push up and go for a winner. It was a gamble, but it certainly paid off. And yes, the subs worked a treat.

Wonderful to hear Burgess and Vipotnik talk about how the supporters in the ground never stopped singing and gave them the energy to push on. Tonight was one of those ‘I was there’ bragging rights nights. Hats off to those who braved the rain and paid a stupid amount to watch their team almost certainly lose, when they could have stayed warm and dry and watched it at home. I hope this is a turning point for our attendances.

(Full disclosure, I was not one of them.)

I wonder if tonight will be one of those watershed moments for the club where the players and fans start to believe

How much do we reckon Galbraith sells for? As let’s be honest he isn’t going to be here past this season. Wharton sold for 20m to Palace. Looking at him we have to get a similar price, would be a Hell of a profit from 1.5m outlay.

Well if we get to the play-offs the club might decide we are better off holding on to him.

I was thinking that walking out tonight. We need to follow it up with a good result in Saturday(atleast a draw) and I would hope for an extra 500/1k on gate for Millwall.

If I could put today’s game into a boxing analogy the first half we were the boxer probing and having the better of the opening rounds only to get sucker punched twice.

But we went into the later rounds with nothing to lose, wobbled but stayed on our feet as the other boxer tried to finish us off but persevered and found out the other team had a glass jaw and put them down for the count with a twelfth round knockout

No chance I'd consider selling him for any less than £25m unless we need the incoming funds to stay clear of PSR.

We need to be getting better money for players than we have been the past few years. I can see 15 being a fair amount, think he’ll need to contribute a fair amount of g/a to justify anything higher. Disgusting that Orient lost him for only 1.5m

I had tickets for me and the boy, but he's got a nasty cold and it was a challenge to get him to school this morning, so decided not the best idea to have him out in the cold and wet. He watched it under a blanket on the sofa instead. Amazing how those 2 late goals can make you forget that you're ill!

Thought Yalcoure was brilliant tonight… love how he takes the ball on the turn

The Swans are on the way to Wembley,
The Swans are on the way to Wembley,
We’ve beaten Crawley
And now with Burgess’ Volley
We beat his fellow Aussie!!!

Did they announce the attendance by the way? I was dreading how it was going to look on the Sky cameras, but it didn't look anything like as bad as I thought it was going to.

 

[LaJollaJack]

Unbelievable.

We rode our luck but what a finish. These things only come around once in awhile and was great to hear the fans get behind it.

I could pick faults but that result and togetherness at the end just shone through to outweigh any negatives.

Going to be a high for them lads going into training tomorrow.

Spot on Dapsy, we SO rode our luck and managed a smash n grab in the dying embers.

Picking faults is a must in our ongoing lurch towards the Next Level.

Top posters like yourself should feel free enough to speak up and openly express your feelings about our faults and hefty, weighty negatives.

So, what would you say our weighty negatives are right now ?

 

[Martyn - Derwydd]

Watching that 3rd goal. All our players racing to the bench and Eom had already dropped to his knees in celebration. Funny what you notice when you watch something a few times
