Brooke Norton-Cuffy: (Watford v Millwall):

Brooke Norton-Cuffy played the full match in Millwall’s 2-2 draw away at Watford in the Championship on Saturday, picking up a yellow card (90+3′). Millwall caretaker manager Adam Barrett decided to play Norton-Cuffy further up the pitch in  this match, with the caretaker boss explaining his decision following the match: “Brooke’s been excellent for us since he’s come through the door. Danny Mac’s been chomping at the bit, really hungry to come back in, and I think defensively Danny’s very strong and Brooke’s been really good attacking. It was just to push Brooke further forward, he’s played there before, very comfortable.

“I thought he come into it more second half when he had the opportunity to get at them and run at them and he’s a threat when he does that. And I’m hoping with the more work we do that he’ll improve in that area as well.”
