Squad

Viktor Johansson keeps Millwall in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Zak Sturge has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Millwall they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout

Lucas Bonelli keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Millwall may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Ayden Heaven falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

A move Dmitriy Lutik would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Dmitriy Lutik is living that version at Millwall, and it tends to show in the first month.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ra'ees Bangura-Williams

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words exchanged at Millwall

Billy Mitchell 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.

Match

Millwall get the job done against Blackpool

A 2‑0 win over Blackpool, 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 Mathis Servais

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.54, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

In brief

  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Lukas Jensen
  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Olly Whitby

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

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

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

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Millwall

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Millwall is running low.

Market

Elkan Baggott hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Millwall can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Tristan Crama wants more than Millwall are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Words at Millwall training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ayden Heaven 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

Mark Sykes signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mark Sykes commits to Millwall for another 3 years.

Squad

Mark Sykes in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Millwall this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
