Last night when I posted Gayle was a possibility was because the info I had was we had reached a agreement with Newcastle and believe it or not Gayle turned us down to stay at Newcastle !!!!
Amazing but true and the board we prepared to cough up big time fair play !!!
Interesting to see where Gayle is in January ...

Exclusive: Dwight Gayle signals desire to fight for #nufc after TWO Championship moves break down.

#wba had agreed season-long loan with £15m permanent deal - but Gayle turned it down. Stoke also made bid. Details: https://t.co/SHXNlW9D0d

Several weeks ago I was told that Gayle didn't want to come back here, due to some off the field stuff.

I was hoping it was hearsay within the game, but judging by this, it was feasible.

Gutted, but happy he hasn't gone to any rival clubs. Hopefully Austin can fire in the goals. If not, hopefully Dwight has a change of heart in January. He knows how well liked he was here and loves the fans.

Any thoughts on the team to face Millwall?
I think I would keep the same first 11
Subs almost the same - Brunt for Leko - Austin for Burke

The new guys getting ready for the Millwall cup game on Tuesday

Same XI if everyone is fit.

Bench would be...

Bond
Furlong
Brunt
Harper
Diangana
Austin
HRK

Happy with Brunt covering left back from the bench. Pereira and Willock to come in one Tuesday as they need some time in the country first. Burke and Townsend unfortunately miss out.

Diangana to come straight in and hit the ground running.
