Joe Royle praised the role of Pablo Counago in Town's 2-0 win over Millwall and then challenged the striker to push on and show his worth.

The former Spanish U21 international came off the bench on 66 minutes and it was from his flick on that Darren Bent opened the scoring, with Pablo sealing the points with his first goal of the season in the final minute.

"We needed some inspiration because Millwall were defending well and Pablo provided it," said Joe.

"We thought if we could get the ball into his feet, he could hurt them but as it turned out, it was from a good old fashioned flick on that set up the first goal.

"He took his goal superbly as well and now I hope he pushes on and shows that he deserves a place in the team.

"He's a special talent, he's a strong for his size and can be a real potent force for us."
