To call Saturday's home win over a very decent Swansea side tense would be an understatement.

At times, the Lions were clinging on desperately in a second half that seemed never-ending.

The hero of the match was 19-year-old third-choice goalkeeper George Evans, who made a series of magnificent stops and blocks to protect a slender one-goal lead, thanks to George Saville's 38th-minute finish in front of a volcanic Den crowd.

Are the football gods smiling on Millwall's unlikely play-off run this season?

We'll find out next Saturday when we travel to league title-chasing Burnley.

They have just two losses all season [one of those against Millwall] and we'll need to continue to ride our luck with other results featuring Coventry and Bristol City needing to go our way.

The Clarets will present a very strong challenge and as we saw against Swansea, scoring goals has been a problem for the 'Wall across the season.

But what an exciting finish and what a tribute to Alex Neil's squad to be in this position.

Anything seems possible for this Millwall side right now and we'll be travelling to Lancashire both in hope but also with some confidence, too.

Come on you Lions!
