Two key words for pearsons team there dave

Work rate, I dont think I've ever seen a harder working city team then this one

That and our fitness levels, we can compete with the "parachute payments" on these two areas, we can match them, we might even better one or two. No excuses for not matching them on both.

Respect!

A quick but small (5'4") Outside Left.

43 games for Bedminster in 1899-90, scoring 15 goals. 

1900 Bedminster and City amalgamate. 

29 games for Bristol City in 1900-01, scoring 5 times. This was the team that earned us entry to the Football League - although he was released that summer.

We shall draw a veil over him joining the Blue Few in Oct 1901 as it was only for 7 games! Deciding he'd had quite enough of that lot, he then retired - though it did make him only the 2nd ever player to play for both City and Rovers. 

He'd played, and scored, in the 1892 FA Cup Final for his hometown club West Brom and won the Southern League with both West Brom and Millwall. 

20 goals from 70 games for West Brom 1891-94. 

40 odd goals for Millwall from 100 odd games in 2 spells between 1894 and 1899.

Top man. 

Move over Dave M. Woods, we got Marvellous Merrick's. You want to write summat for that new fans-programme-thingy, you got something there, Merr

He’s still a very young player , he hasn’t come here as the finished article . There’s plenty of scope for improvement with him. 

Already I've seen signs he has changed his game.
Last year he didn't go outside his FB, this year he looks like thats his first thought . That means cutting in on his stronger foot is much more dangerous. I swear Sam Bell got the nod because he was happy to go outside his man, makes the FB think. So far this year his first move is towards the touchline , the change is obvious and long may it continue.

Top man. 

We don’t talk about the ‘Blue Few’ part in our family

Yeah, that FA Cup Final goal was the fastest cup final goal for many years, think it was after 3 minutes.

As well as the Millwall hall of fame I think he’s in a Baggies one also.

Cheers

I got ahead of myself in all the excitement

I doubt you’ll get that feeling again this season. What a moment and what a goal. Defensively we were faultless. Not just the back four but the midfield 3 were brilliant. Vyner ( was a big critic) looks like he has confidence oozing through him helped by Dickie who looks a class act. 
We moved the ball around lovely at times but I do feel we are still missing that spark in the final third. Hopefully that comes with time. 
 

What a day!

Great day. Cannot beat a 94th minute Winner away from home, especially at Millwall.

Thoroughly deserved the win too.

Limbage...

Great win with a superbly taken goal (those are very hard to hit right), against a different opponent. 
Special call-out to Max too for that double save. 
Well done Nige and the boys

Lifted straight from pages 32 and 33 of The Clash issue. 

With a little help from the relevant Woods book.

£2 and 80 pages for that Clash issue - beats £4 for 32 into a cocked hat!

Even harder to hit them left 

[Bazooka Joe]

The exuberance from those on our bench, when Matty scored, was good to see. It exemplifies the spirit and unity of purpose within our camp.

The players celebrated just as wildly as our brilliant. large and noisy band of travelling supporters.

Haven't seen that in a long while.

At long last, a stronger bond is developing between fans and players and is becoming more palpable.

This will serve us well.

SkySports highlights commentator, "Say it quietly, but the last time a Nigel Pearson side won at The Den was with Leicester City and they went on to get promoted."

Well, whichever way round it has certainly been that, long may it continue.

Few comments on the Millwall forum crediting our fans for paying respects at the start of the game.

 Absolutely brilliant day yesterday and as you say @Bazooka Joe, to then see the response on the bench was amazing to see - the management team and squad are all in it together ….. long may it continue 

[Garland-sweden]

Very nice win yesterday! Think many games will be like yesterday. Good defence and some luck. Their wrong freekick that Cornick saved was important, moments later we score. Think we were little better but we could have lost, small margins.

For yet more limbs..

He's been a fantastic chairman for them been with them since 2006. It's only right we pay respect to him.

Nige mentioned that post match when asked about the support, how there's a growing connection.

Thought I might as well stick this here.

Nige wanted legs and to be able to press and win the ball back quickly. Good stat to say we were successful Saturday.
