Squad

The step up is real for Ayden Heaven

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match

No end in sight to Millwall's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Millwall has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

A bad afternoon for Millwall against Southampton

0‑1 to Southampton, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

A promise honoured for James Justin

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Millwall told James Justin something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by John Hughes to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

A row about effort at Millwall

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tristan Crama was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Looking ahead

Ryan Leonard faces his old club

Sheffield United next, and one man in the Millwall dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout

Will Wright gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Will Wright is on it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Morgan Guilavogui

Successful dribbles: 10. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

A promise honoured at Millwall

Something was said to Ayden Heaven and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout

Lukas Jensen is still paying for one afternoon at Millwall

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout

No hiding place for Danny McNamara

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

The dugout

Femi Azeez gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Femi Azeez is on it.

Squad

Max Crocombe wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Millwall have no good answer.

Market

The Lukas Jensen question follows Millwall around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Lukas Jensen’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

James Justin has settled at Millwall

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

Looking ahead

Millwall host Southampton

Next up at home: Southampton, who go into it in position 5. The kind of fixture a season is quietly built on or quietly loses its shape in.

Loan watch

Daniel Kelly has made Barrow AFC’s shirt his own

6 starts now, an average of 6.62, and the team sheet at Barrow AFC has stopped being a question. Exactly what everybody signed up for.

Match

Cup progress for Millwall

A 3‑0 win over Harrogate Town, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Player ratings

Both of them Femi Azeez's — 8.75

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.75, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

6 saves: Lukas Jensen was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings

Will Wright, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 7.75

A mark of 7.75 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

Macaulay Langstaff’s goal not enough for Millwall

Macaulay Langstaff scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Charlton Athletic, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Mathis Servais

At 21 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Millwall

Femi Azeez 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.

The dugout

John Hughes faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” John Hughes after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

Max Crocombe gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
