Match

Cup progress for Millwall

A 2‑0 win over Bromley, 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 Derek Mazou-Sacko's — 8.05

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.05, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Thierno Ballo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Millwall

Tristan Crama was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Derek Mazou-Sacko

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

No hiding place for Billy Mitchell

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

Squad

Words at Millwall training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jake Cooper is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Millwall

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Femi Azeez

A mark of 7.40, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

In brief
