    Probably why they celebrated our penalty misses so much down there. Nearest they get to seeing a goal.

    That’s another good result for Millwall away from home

    Some of our fans expect a home win no matter who the opposition is, wonder if the Burnley forum gets as outraged as ours when it doesn't happen.....but thats football folks.

    turned out to be the turning point for good in the end and we come a long way in the 3 years

    hopefully we can take that final step and get back to premier league for next season

    You can prove anything with facts:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I always like to go back to the last XI of the era before KLD started influencing things just over 4 years ago:

    Matthews
    McLaughlin
    Wright
    Flanagan
    O'Nien
    Power
    Leadbitter
    Scowen
    Hume
    Embleton
    Wyke

    only LoN standing,

    no way should the team we had in the first season in L1, struggled the way did,

    I am grateful in an odd way we spent that long in L1, as we were able to rebuild in a way, to make us stronger,

    but never again,

    Jack Ross should’ve been sacked the same night Charlton beat us at Wembley. Disgrace he didn’t get that squad promoted

    he went to resign,
    he said to SD he was sorry he failed, and wanted to go,
    SD said no, stay we will back you this summer...

    we ended up with Parky.....

    I didn’t mind Jack Ross very much. Thought he was a decent manager for that level

    shame how it ended

    He was underwhelming, but the problem for me was in the transfer market. Was just far too many transfers made that season. We chucked away players to prioritise others who simply didn't make an impact (not even including the Grigg debacle). Utterly scattergun under the cover of the nonsense that Donald and Methven had some kind of insight into how to build a league one player. "We'll take it from here, lads. We know what's needed". In hindsight we'd have almost been better off just not signing anyone that season.

    I always felt that squad was massively overrated by our fans. Was largely made up of journeyman L1 players and 'big names' that were in the twilight of their career, on the decline and/or didn't want to be there.

    The league at the time was choc-full of real serious talent, a lot of which now plays regularly in the Prem or has since that season.

    It was a shocking squad imo, no pace what so ever

    Still should’ve gained promotion. It certainly wasn’t ‘shocking’ for League One level
