Manager Daniel Farke applied a hardline stance to the situation...

Gnonto broke the deadlock 33 minutes into a tense and scrappy affair in West Yorkshire, carrying the ball to the edge of Millwall's box before arrowing a brilliant effort beyond the grasp of Matija Šarkić. It was a perfect response from the 20-year-old who was bizarrely booked shortly before and was on the receiving end of some physical...

    Roberts has drawn comparisons to actors in period dramas and RAF fighter pilots of yesteryear while sporting his preened moustache, and though the 28-year-old acknowledges it is 'all a bit of a joke', the Welsh international hopes he can repeat his Burnley success of last year with the national team, and Leeds during the final six weeks of this season. "My wife last year, she was like 'Why don't you grow it?' so I did and then we went on an unbeaten run at Burnley. "I've done the same thing this...
