Squad

A day William Osula will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Gustaf Nilsson

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Millwall have done the hard part with Club Brugge, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Millwall

2 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match

Millwall get the job done against Portsmouth

A 3‑1 win over Portsmouth, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

One of those days for William Osula

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.12, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Transfer targets

Millwall rebuffed over Alejo Sarco

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Gijón have kept their man, and Millwall go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to William Osula

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

Millwall promote Nathan Mitchell from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nathan Mitchell has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Luke Cooper joins the Millwall first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Luke Cooper is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
