In what looked to be a draw at The Galpharm, turned out to be a last minute hearstopper.
Millwall now find themselves on a run of 3 straight away wins, with the latest coming at the expense of Huddersfield, in a dramatic 2-1 result. It was the first ever victory for the Lions at Galpharm Stadium.
Some rather curious decisions made by Jackett to start Richard Duffy over the “in-form” Ashley Grimes, left the away supporters wondering what was going on. MFC dominated for much of the game, creating some solid chances, but often not capable of finishing. It wasn’t until the 69th minute when Marc Laird hit a long shot from outside the box, that the scoring began. A letdown in the defence led to the Huddersfield equaliser just 4 minutes later.
The match slipped into injury time and look destined for a draw, when Scott Barron, who entered the game 76 minutes in, broke away from the defenders and created a a brilliant assist that was buried into the net by the streaking James Henry. His third goal with the club again came in heroic form, cementing the Lions promotion playoff spot even further.
Next up: The boys return home to The Den to face Northampton, a club struggling to stay out of the relegation zone. The Cobblers have only won twice in their last 12 games, and have only scored more than 1 goal once during that period. Look for the Lions to take this one at home in good fashion.
