Squad21 Feb 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Josh Coburn

100 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Millwall lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match19 Feb 2028

The wait goes on for Millwall

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Transfer targets21 Feb 2028

Door shut on James Crole

Millwall asked and Blackpool said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout21 Feb 2028

The manager makes an example of Can Bozdogan

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match19 Feb 2028

A bad afternoon for Millwall against Queens Park Rangers

0‑2 to Queens Park Rangers, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

Mark Sykes beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout21 Feb 2028

Peter Kelly: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad21 Feb 2028

John Phillips signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” John Phillips and Millwall agree another 3 years.

The dugout21 Feb 2028

Barry Bannan left out for tactical reasons at Millwall

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Transfer targets13 Sep 2027

Door shut on Yasin Ayari

Millwall asked and Brighton said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Femi Azeez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Femi Azeez and Millwall agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout13 Sep 2027

No hiding place for Kalvin Phillips

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kalvin Phillips, and the manager let it.

Market13 Sep 2027

Millwall promote Nathan Pearson from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nathan Pearson 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.

Market13 Sep 2027

One of our own: Anthony Scott joins the Millwall first team

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

Market13 Sep 2027

Millwall promote Anthony Hawkins from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Anthony Hawkins 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.

Match11 Sep 2027

Derby County take the points off Millwall

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Words exchanged at Millwall

Danny McNamara and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Squad The formation has left Alex Gilbey behind
  • The dugout No place in the plan for Barry Bannan
