Blues moved into the second automatic promotion spot after a thumping 3-0 Championship victory over Millwall.

Set on their way by Alex Cochrane's first minute drilled shot from 25 yards, they added further goals from Max Bird (16 minutes) after Kyrell Lisbie hoisted over from close range, and then Jay Stansfield took a lovely pass from Bird as Blues countered to fire in (29 minutes), from the edge of the box.

Millwall struggled to cope with a confident, assured and clinical Blues and it was after the break when the visitors got their act together a bit. Camiel Neghli cracked a rising drive off the top of the left-hand post in the 75th and there were threatening moments.
