A View From The Cage

Here’s a view from the cage following the Millwall v. Leicester City match on March 14.

Millwall Drop it to Table-Topping Leicester

In what was considered by most to be the match of the week in League One, Millwall lacked the enthusiasm and stamina to hold off League-best Leicester City in a 1-0 defeat at the Den.

Manager Kenny Jackett, certainly could not have been pleased with his squad’s performance in front of the season’s best home crowd of 13,264.

Millwall’s former-favorite keeper, Tony “Denzil”  Warner, made his first appearance for LCFC today. He showed some great skill as the fans in the Den were used to seeing in the past including a game-saving stop on Ashley Grimes late in the game that would have equalized.

Jackett kept his men in the 4-3-3  formation that led them to victory in their last 3 matches, but the team’s lack of pace and creativity kept them from extending the streak. It may not have been a win that South London supporters expected, but hopes were high due to the recent run of form.

Next up: Another huge match. MK Dons recently passed the Lions in the table with a 6-2 thrashing of Oldham on Saturday, but we can draw even again with a strong performance away from home. This will be another tought test for our defense , with Striker Sam Baldock coming off of his brace against Oldham.

Prediction: Draw 1-1

Voodoo Doll: Matt Fryatt

We here at Millwall Pride want to do our part to contribute to the success of our beloved Millwall FC. Therefore we are using voodoo dolls for the opposition.

This week we are putting the hex on the high-scoring striker from Leicester City, Matt Fryatt. If one player could take the game into his own hands and prevent the Lions from winning, Fryatt would certainly be the one.

Here’s what we’ve done to our dirty little Fryatt Doll:

• Stuck a pin in his eye  so he can’t see the crosses coming in from the wings
• Tied his bootlaces together to cause him to trip everytime he enters the 18 yard box
• Sat him in front of the telly and made him watch an American Idol marathon to drive him into insanity
• Took the scissors to his doll balls, preventing him from producing little Fryatts that may one day grow up to face our Millwall clubs of the future
• Bent him over, rammed a crazy straw up his arse and donkey punched him with our Robbo action figure with the kung-fu grip

I know this may seem like a crude way to address your opponent before a big match, but I challenge you to keep an eye on Fryatt throughout the match and watch for signs of our Voodoo magic at play.

Let us know what you would do to the Fryatt Voodoo Doll….
