Canaries fans left wide-eyed

KYLE BARTLEY says West Brom cannot serve up “Champagne football” every week.

Goal crazy Baggies made it 22 in nine league games, having taken six months to do it last term in the Premier League.

“We showed we can win more than one way and I think that is massive,” said defender Bartley.

“The mentality is always to try and score goals. That is what the boss wants.

“With the firepower we have, we would be fools not to use that.

“There won’t be many games where we won’t score goals.

“It won’t be Champagne football every game, you can’t. Look at Manchester City last season.

“Even though they’ve got their style, sometimes they had to adapt, depending on the game, and that’s what we will have to do.”

Newcastle loanee Dwight Gayle’s fifth goal of the season and Kieran Gibbs’ second sent Albion up to third in the table.

The clean sheet was their first in the Championsh­ip this season.

Millwall’s Byron Webster started his first game in a year after surgery to repair a cruciate ligament.

A sixth game without a win sees the Lions in the bottom three, but Webster believes they are on the way up.

“We knew we had to go back to basics, be hard to beat, and put a Millwall performanc­e in and get the fans behind us,” said the centre-back.

“You look around each other and we were under the cosh and there are smiles on the faces. We enjoyed the battle.

“We kept going to the end and it will stand us in good stead.”
