Millwall away match thread

[Jerseybean]

Our last game of 2022 kicks off at 745 pm and it’s against a physical team, in form and full of confidence. On Boxing Day, while we put in a lacklustre performance and lost 0-2, they won away 0-2 at Watford (who were down to 10 men after 38 minutes.) The Lions have lost just twice in their last 12 Championship fixtures. They have the best defensive record on home soil this campaign, having conceded just eight times in 11 matches at The Den.

Here’s an interesting account of a visit to the Den back in 2018: https://www.dreamteamfc.com/c/news-gossip/390791/millwall-premier-league-championship/

They have a reputation which was embodied in the chant, ‘No one likes us, we don’t care!’

No one likes us, no one likes us
No one likes us, we don't care!

We are Millwall, super Millwall
We are Millwall from The Den!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_one_likes_us,_we_don't_care

Among their well known fans are:

Daniel Day-Lewis - Oscar winning actor

David Haye - Former Heavyweight Boxing champ

Ian Wright - Ex-footballer

Scroobius Pip - English actor

Danny Baker - Radio / TV presenter.

We were very poor when we faced them at Ashton Gate in October, managing just one shot on target and not even getting a single corner, and deservedly lost 2-1, Max saved a penalty at the death to avoid an even bigger defeat:

 

Their match preview: https://www.millwallfc.co.uk/news/2022/december/28/preview---millwall-v-bristol-city/

Officials are referee Dean Whitestone who is currently a police officer with the Metropolitan Police and was promoted to the Football League in January 2006. He is a very experienced official, having officiated over 300 games in the EFL Championship, League One and League Two. He will be assisted by Daniel Leach and Andrew Aylott. The fourth official is Abigail Byrne.

In May Millwall unveiled plans for a new 50-acre training ground at West Kingsdown, which is home of the Brands Hatch Circuit and coincidently the village my wife grew up in in:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61644473 and https://www.kentonline.co.uk/dartford/news/millwall-fcs-plans-for-kent-training-ground-approved-275651/

Our record over the years is won 37, lost 35 and drawn 32.

Millwall Championship form: D, D, W, L, D, W = 9 points

Our Championship form: L, D, D, W, L, L = 5 points

My Millwall mad neighbour had this to say. ‘To be honest I’m not sure which Millwall will turn up on the day. We need to play high tempo to unsettle the opposition but if not we look like England against USA just meaningless passing along the back.  Zian Flemming is still our main man, if we can get him in to the game he is class and will score from anywhere - you have been warned!’

Flemming signed a long-term contract at Millwall on 24th June 2022, putting pen-to-paper after joining from Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard for an undisclosed fee. Flemming, who hails from Amsterdam, began his career in the Netherlands in the Ajax youth system before moving on to PEC Zwolle, where he made 29 Eredivisie appearances before sealing a move to Sittard in August 2020. The Dutchman then flourished with Fortuna, scoring 12 goals in two consecutive seasons, including strikes against giants Feyenoord, and five goals in his last four matches of the campaign. He has 10 Championship goals to his name this season, including the winner at Ashton Gate in October.  The forward bagged a hat-trick at Preston North End in early November, and as a result has five goals in his last four games with consecutive strikes against both Wigan and Watford this month.

Millwall will be without winger Callum Styles, who suffered a calf injury in the defeat to Sunderland earlier this month, with the ex-Barnsley man expected to be back in action in early January. A long-term absentee for Rowett's men is Ryan Leonard, who has not featured since August after a serious hamstring injury - the club are targeting his return in January.

Andy King is a doubt for us after being forced off with a knock in the second half on Boxing Day, meaning a starting place for Rob Atkinson - a player NP has recently left out of match-day squads apparently due to a lack of trust.

Millwall have accepted bids from two League Two clubs for striker Isaac Olaofe ahead of next month and will let the striker leave, Gillingham are being linked. The Lions are also looking to offload defender Hayden Muller. The 20-year-old has struggled for game time under Gary Rowett and will be allowed to move on for more opportunities.

Well done to the traveling fans who are making the 127 mile trip from Ashton Gate. City supporters will be able to pay on the day at The Den. We have received an initial allocation of 1,582 tickets. Tickets will be available to purchase from the North Stand Ticket Office from 5pm which is situated next to the away turnstiles - collections and duplicates will also be available from here. Ticket prices increase by £3 on the matchday and payment can be made by cash and card.

Millwall musings

Millwall Football Club’s birthplace was at the J.T. Morton’s Canning and Preserve Factory on Westferry Road (Nos. 2-4 on the river side of the road and Nos. 17-23 on the opposite side of the road to the river). A group of Tin Smiths (the ‘Tinnies’) decided to form a football club, calling themselves the Millwall Rovers.

From 1964 to January 1967, Millwall went on a record unbeaten home run of 59 matches without defeat (W43 D16). The Lions scored 112 goals and kept 35 clean sheets during that period.

Millwall’s biggest ever victory was a 9-1 Division 3S win over Torquay United in September 1927.

Their last game at the old Den on 8th May 1993 was against the Gas http://www.millwall-history.org.uk/the_den3b.htm

Dean Whitestone the ref that gave that penalty against Hull on the opening game and the last 5 games he’s reffed us in we’ve lost.

Just when we need a decent ref, we get one that made one of the most shocking penalty decisions. Perhaps he may try and even things up, got to be embarrassing having the EFL make an apology about you

Millwall

I thoroughly love Millwall away days. Love their fans and love their passion.

3-0 lose though.

[Jerseybean]

With thanks to Jack Phillips journalism, information on tickets, parking, trains, pubs and food for our fixture at Millwall.

Tickets:

• Adults: £27
• Senior 63+, Armed Forces and 18-21 year olds: £18
• Under 18's: £15
• Under 16's: £13
• Under 12's: £8
• Under 6's £5

For official supporter coaches, prices start at £16 for season ticket holders, and £21 for non-season ticket holders. Coaches will leave Ashton Gate at 2:30pm.

Parking:

It is recommended that your park further from the Millwall area and get public transport in, however there are some locations available closer to the ground.

There aren't many larger match day car parks near The Den, but there is street parking at SEQ6 3NL and SE16 3JY, but would suggest this is at your own risk.

There is also Surrey Quays Car Park, SE16 7LL, which is a 20 minute walk from The Den, and provides free parking for up to four hours.

Train/tube:

The closest tube station to Millwall is South Bermondsey, which is around a five minute walk to The Den, and is served regularly by trains from London Bridge station.

Bus:

You can also get the 21,53, or 172 buses that serve Old Kent Road, which would then leave you a 20ish minute walk to The Den.

Pubs:

Much like the parking situation, there aren't many away fan friendly pubs near The Den either.

There are a few pubs in the London Bridge area that allow away supporters, but require club colours to be covered:

• The Shipwrights Arms (88 Tooley Street, Southwark, SE1 2TF)
• The Pomellers’ Rest (196-198 Tower Bridge Road, Southwark, SE1 2UN)
• The George Inn (75-77 Borough High Street, Southwark, SE1 1NH)
• The Barrow Boy and Banker (6-8 Borough High Street, Southwark, SE1 9QQ)
• The Old Kings Head (King’s Head Yard, Southwark, SE1 1NA)
• Bunch of Grapes (2 St Thomas Street, Southwark, SE1 9RS)
• The Market Porter (9 Stoney Street, Southwark, SE1 9AA)
• Redwood Sports Bar(Bridge Station, Southwark, SE1 9SP)

[22A]

Any point in going? 17 out of 19 Millwall fans believe they are going to win. Oddly two of them think City will win.

Millwall, London club.

Somebody from the Met would certainly not do Millwall any favours! 

[Shelton’s Love Gravy]

These Millwall fans think they’re hard…

Well, they’re all woosies!!

Come on then! I’ll take you all on

[Unan]

On a cold and unforgiving night, two ruthless teams will meet on the pitch in a fight for dominance. The home team, Millwall, is feared for their impenetrable defense and volatile fans, who are known for their chilling chant of "No one likes us, we don't care!" Despite their fearsome reputation, even they have managed to attract a few famous supporters, including actor Daniel Day-Lewis and former heavyweight boxing champion David Haye. Their opponents, Bristol City, have had a tumultuous season and will need to bring their best game if they hope to survive against the menacing Lions. The match will be controlled by a ruthless police officer-turned-referee, and both teams will be missing key players due to injury. In the end, only one team can emerge victorious in this brutal battle. Will it be the relentless Millwall or the hapless underdogs from Bristol City? Tune in to find out, if you dare.

My head says we will get pummelled, my heart says no chance, but my left big toe thinks maybe, just maybe, we might shock the footballing world and ruin some accumulators with a huge away win of 3-1!  COYR

The result will depend on the players NP selects and the positions they are asked to play in eg; N Wells in goal is not good, playing a goal scoring attacking midfielder as a full/wing back is not a great plan either, while sitting defenders on the bench. Round pegs round holes and go for their throats, we have some good players f.f.s play them in the right formation/positions and we are a match for anyone.

Don't know about anyone, but certainly should be able to match Millwall, IF NP gets rid of his stubborn head and picks, as you sat, round pegs in round holes.

AW must play in the hole, behind the top two, move AS to central M/F and drop Williams, Tanner or Sykes at RWB. Atkinson CB not King.

Yes please old EastEnder - would like him up alongside Conway ideally,, whichever way the RWB shit has to stop.

NP reacted to the question of why he persists with AW at WB and he replied that he scored a goal from there. 
Evidently he wants more from his WBs but I hope he calls time on the experiment with AW. Get him up top where he can score and make more than one goal.

The partnership of Wells/Conway has looked great at times, but we need to get the service and link ups going again. That IMO is getting AW behind the front 2 and Sykes or Tanner at RWB.

So Nige wants his wing backs to score more goals so his master plan is to play his goal scorers there. Brilliant.

George Long (GK) kicks the ball miles!

Let's hope he does that throughout the game Dave, that way we may have a chance of getting a point!

Certain persons preparing  for tonight’s game. 

[LondonBristolian]

I can't easily make it tonight but my prediction is a 3-1 win to us  My reasoning is that we looked awful second half on Monday and I don't think we stand a chance tonight. And we seem to have a habit of producing a win from nowhere whenever that seems to be the case. 

[AppyDAZE]

A big game for Max tonight. He's gonna be tested time and time again. Not good on both goals on Saturday, can't afford to 'give' them anything tonight. Here's hoping he has a Middlesbrough .

That’s what I’d do too.  I honestly don’t think it’s stubborn though, I think it’s for reasons he’s explained, in his mind (and he sees them every day) out of necessity.  If Atkinson comes back in then we can then judge his performance.  Assuming he plays well, some on here will say Nige should never have left him out, some will say that maybe Nige managed it well. I’ll just be happy to see Rob back on form.

Others wanting Semenyo back in.  I would too (to rotate Tommy), but I’m also mindful he spat his dummy out (multiple sources) when named in the u21s!

I agree. Don’t waste this chance Max.

[Flagon]

It’s impossible to get through a game without some sort of mistake here and there but we make far too many critical ones when there is absolutely no reason to. Those ones are always getting punished unfortunately at the moment. 
Lost count of the number of goals we’ve conceded and the other team haven’t done much else other than the goals practically gifted to them. 
 

It’s a ridiculously tight league and I feel we really need this one. We definitely have a team more than capable of getting a good result against most teams - but please no more Cruyf turns on the halfway line when you’re the last defender, no more hospital passes and bloody move for each other to make the pass easy.

After WBA, the comments about the ref i don't think i will turn Sky on tonight. But i am trying to think positively and so will be happy with the worst game of  football ever and a 0-0. Or a penalty to us in the 8th min of extra time and a 0-1 win. I have talked myself into watching it now.

[elhombrecito]

Decided to get the coach in to London with @The turtle, to have a few drinks before the game. Unfortunately, it was delayed by 2.5 hours... 

So, wish me luck, I'm going to have to watch this one sober ?

[Lew-T]

Set piece Jake Cooper goal tonight…

[marcofisher]

Semenyo has to be given a run of starts, to give him a chance to find his form again. He is the one capable of stretching opposition defences and getting us up the pitch, especially in those matches where we are not favourites, which are most at the moment.

Our performance at home against them was really woeful. Can see much of the same. Ill take a point however ! 

[robinforlife2]

Would genuinely take 0-0 tonight. We can't afford a defeat, morale is already at a low. Personally think it's going to be very very tough.

Would not be surprised to see Bentley back in tonight. Yes his distribution is questionable but he's the better shot stopper of him and Max and we may come under siege early tonight.

Millwall often look for an early goal, then frustrate. A goal behind in the first 25 minutes could be a disaster for us. 

Every manager normally has that game that tips the scales. I want for a performance and a result tonight, heck I would take us to be played off the pitch and scrap a 0-0 or a smash and grab 1-0 win, but I fear a 3-0 or 3-1 Millwall and if that happens, I feel this will be game that wields the Axe on NP. I suspect NP would have preferred Coventry before Millwall, as you fancy us to get something from Coventry, but this will be tough.

I don't feel it will be pleasant viewing for City fans tonight.

I'll take 0-0 all day long.

Possible heads up: overseas RobinsTV coverage for tonights game might be geo-restricted. It was not available from France when I l;ogged on. I got that 'certain countries' message, but was working okay from Spain.
