Full Match Report

Lions Hold On At Home

Millwall grab their first home victory since January 17th in a 1-0 result over Northampton.

The Lions greatly improved their chances for promotion as they pulled level with MK Dons in the table and moved within striking distance of 2nd place Peterborough.

Gary Alexander’s 9th goal of the season was the difference maker in a game that was dominated by Millwall for the first 65 minutes. Consistent possession and good movement upfield by Jackett’s 4-3-3 formation, kept Northampton at bay for the majority of the match.

James Henry continued to show fantastic skill and form as he created several chances from the wing and was responsible for setting up the only score with Alexander. His loan is just about up and will call for a return to Reading. You can be sure that manager,Kenny Jackett and his colleagues are working the phones to try to get an extension.

It’s now a run of 3 straight wins and the boys find themselves in a very favorable position going down the stretch.

Next up: A huge matchup against League-leading Leicester City at The Den. The Foxes have not lost in the league since October. Matty Fryatt is the top scorer with 28 goals in all competitions, and will prove to be a tough challenge for the not-so-stable Lion defense.

Could this be the perfect return opportunity for our Robbo? We sure could use him against the LCFC attack.

Promotion Hopes Live On!

In a setting of gale force winds and rain, the victory-hungry Lions  feasted on Southend shrimp . It was a tightly contested match but Millwall came out on top in a 1-0 win.

The recently injured Gary Alexander returned to the starting lineup only to find himself in perfect position for an easy goal and a successful return for the veteran striker. James Henry, Jimmy Abdou and Ashley Grimes also provided glimpses of brilliance on other near-miss opportunities.

Man-of-the-match, Danny Forde, put on a display that could be used in training for any young aspiring keepers. The same couldn’t be said for the defense in front of Forde. Southend United continually pushed pass the defenders with little to no resistance, but could not finish or slide the equalizer past the sure-handed Forde. Millwall are yearning for the return of their captain, Paul Robinson. Robbo, please, please, please…….heal swiftly. We need you!

The 3 points earned at Roots Hall, kept Millwall firmly planted in 5th place in the table with 58 total points in 33 games played.

Next up: On the road to Galpharm Stadium against Huddersfield Town. Town sits 10th in the table with a bevvy of draws from recent fixtures. Huddersfield’s “Robbo”, Gary Roberts, is a dangerous winger with a wicked left foot. He leads the Terriers with 9 goals scored this season.
