MILLWALL'S BEEVERS: IT'S “MASSIVE INCENTIVE” TO PLAY AT WEMBLEY By John Kelly
M
“Obviously the fans want us to go all the way, we understand that. When you’ve got this far in the competition it’s a massive incentive to play at Wembley. We want to do that, we’re just two games away now so hopefully we can pull through those games and we’re there and we’ll enjoy the day.”
ILLWALL’S Mark Beevers is looking forward to the first ever final of his career.
The Lions will play Oxford United at The Den in the first leg of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy southern section final the week commencing January 11 before travelling to the Kassam Stadium for the second leg in February.
Beevers was part of a back four under pressure in the opening 20 minutes of the 2-0 win at Roots Hall on Tuesday night and said he felt the effects afterwards of a fastpaced contest.
Beevers returned to the side on Tuesday night after a one-game ban as goals from Steve Morison and Shaun Williams against Southend sent Millwall through to face League Two opponents for the fifth time in cup competitions this season.
And he also felt front pair Morison and Lee Gregory were crucial to the win. “I was tired, but it was a good win,” he said, before joking: “I’ve only had a week off! It was a tough game, it was a heavy pitch. We had a to dig in at times and we defended well from back to front. I
“I haven’t been in a final before, this will be my first one. I’ve been in the semi-final of the FA Cup against Wigan,” Beevers said.

thought the two lads up top were really good (Tuesday), they held it up really well. “If they can hold it up it helps us to get up the pitch and it almost gives the back eight or six a little bit of a breather. So it was good throughout the team. “Southend away is a tight ground, the fans are almost sat on top of you. We expected a fast start from them but we weathered the storm. “I felt after that first 10 or 15 minutes we grew into the game and we managed to get the goal. I think we had a few more chances as well that we could have put away. “We restricted them to chances from outside the box. We know they’ve got ability shooting but Jordan (Archer) pulled off a couple of saves and thankfully we’re through to the area final.” The winners of that southern section final will face either Fleetwood or Barnsley in the overall decider at Wembley in April.

OLDHAM ATHLETIC By John Kelly

decent start to his management career and lost just two of his first eight games in charge.
EIL Harris has a couple of injury concerns ahead of the clash with Oldham at Boundary Park on Saturday.
However, Oldham are just a point off the bottom of the table and have only won once at home since August.
As well as long-term absentee Tony Craig, the Millwall boss could be without Steve Morison and Fred Onyedinma as the Lions resume their Sky Bet League One campaign following their involvement in the FA Cup and Football League Trophy.
And Dunn admits Millwall are a “dangerous” proposition as they look to correct that form. He told the club’s official website: “I went to watch them against Burton and they are doing really well under Neil Harris. He’s a good manager, good guy and very competitive as a player and that seems to be what he’s like as a manager.
Morison was taken off in the 2-0 win over Southend on Tuesday night, with Harris saying it was more a precautionary measure ahead of this weekend’s game. Onyedinma picked up a knock against Wycombe last weekend and both players will be assessed closer to the fixture.
“The Millwall side are competitive so it will be a tough game for us…we will have to stand up to the battling qualities that they show. That is going to be the main thing that we need to do early on. They have got some decent players so they will be dangerous.”
Millwall could climb into the top six for the first time this season with a win at Oldham if other results also go their way. The Lions should be buoyant after Harris got the response he desired from his players following the disappointing performance in the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Wycombe last weekend.

There have been 62 meetings between Millwall and Oldham Athletic. The Lions hold the historical advantage, winning 25 games to Oldhams’s 17. There have been 20 draws. The first meeting of the clubs was in January 1926 in the FA Cup at Millwall and ended 1-1. The replay saw the Lions with 1-0, that was the last time both sides have met in a cup competition. There have been ten 1-1 draws in those 62 meetings. The biggest margin of victory in the fixture is six – Millwall’s 5-0 home win in May 2001, where goals from Paul Moody (2), Neil Harris (2), and Steven Reid confirmed and crowned Millwall Division Two champions under Mark McGhee. The last time the two sides met was at Boundary Park in 2010, where Millwall won 1-0 thanks to a 57th-minute penalty from current boss Harris. There are four players from that game that are still part of the Lions squad - David Forde, Tony Craig, Jimmy Abdou and Steve Morison. The total aggregate score between Millwall and Oldham Athletic is 87-71 in the Lions favour.

David Dunn, in his first management role, seems to favour a more possession-based game, not surprising for an ex-Premier League midfielder, making nearly 100 passes per game more than the Lions – 495 to Millwall’s 401. On average, Oldham maintain 52% possession and the Lions maintain 46%.

On the other hand, Harris’ side have more shots on goal and on target than the Latics – their 13 shots per game result in 5 on target per game compared to Oldham’s 11 shots per game with just 4 on target.
Former Lion Ricardo Fuller is now on the books at Oldham. He has made six appearances this season without netting. Fuller scored six goals for Millwall last season in 40 appearances of which he started less than half.

ILLWALL’S clash with Oxford United in the first leg of the southern final of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy will be shown live on Sky Sports from The Den on Thursday, January 14 at 7.45pm.
The date and time for the second leg have yet to be confirmed but it will take place the week beginning February 1. The Lions’ Sky Bet League One fixture against Port Vale at The Den, originally fixed for Saturday, January 16 will now be played the following day with a 3pm kick-off time.

MILLWALL BOSS: CRAIG MORE ENTITLED THAN ANYONE TO HAVE HIS SAY By John Kelly
M
ILLWALL boss Neil Harris revealed club captain Tony Craig made his feelings known to the squad after the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Wycombe.
Craig is still on crutches and in a knee brace after suffering a serious injury against Bradford in October and he is expected to be out for most if not all of the rest of the season.
Harris was very critical of his team’s performance against the League Two side, publicly questioning their attitude after Michael Harriman’s shock late winner at The Den last Saturday.
Experienced striker Steve Morison is wearing the armband in Craig’s absence, but Harris stressed the defender’s input is still crucial to the spirit of the squad.
The squad was brought back into the training ground the following day for a meeting in which management and players had their say and Harris re-emphasised the standards he expects of them.
“He’s club captain and he’s more entitled to an opinion in the dressing room than any other player,” Harris said. “Steve wears the armband during the week but Tony’s the club captain and that’s not just a Saturday three-to-five role.
Harris said he was “delighted” with the response of the side in the 2-0 win over Southend in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy on Tuesday night.
“That’s the link between the management and the players. With the respect he holds in the dressing room he’s entitled to his opinion all the time.”

EDWARDS WANTS TO BE A MILLWALL COACH AFTER PLAYING DAYS By John Kelly
©Millwall FC
V
ETERAN MILLWALL defender Carlos Edwards is not ruling out extending his long career beyond the end of this season.
The 37-year-old right-back has played 14 times this season and was instrumental again on Tuesday night as Millwall progressed in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy.
Edwards has been in English football since 2000 when he joined Wrexham and signed an extension to his contract with Millwall until the end of the current campaign after recovering from a serious long-term knee injury.
Edwards has experience winning that competition with Wrexham at the Millennium Stadium in 2005, and he would like to crown his career with an appearance at Wembley where he has never played.
19
However, even that may not mark the end of his playing days, though he did confirm that he is hoping to get into coaching at the club. “We’ll see how it goes, maybe we’ll look at it again towards the end of the season when we know where we are,” Edwards said about possibly playing on next season. “Obviously I hope we’ll be up there in the league. “I’ll probably sit down with the gaffer and figure out where we can go from there. “I’d love to (continue playing) but it all depends. We’ll make a decision then. “I also want to get into the coaching aspect of things. Obviously that would be a bonus so we’ll just have to wait and see. “I don’t have my coaching badges yet, but I’ll talk to the manager and he’ll make a few calls for me. He has already told me that at the end of the season if I want to get a handle on what it’s like I can go down to where the youths are based and do some coaching down there. “I think they’d like to see me, I could pass on a bit of my experience and take it from there.”

HARRIS: GIVEN SO MANY GAMES, MILLWALL'S FOCUS OUTSTANDING By John Kelly
N
er happened on that football pitch. I think my players’ focus and fitness levels were outstanding, considering the amount of games we’ve had.
Harris made more than 50 appearances for Southend, where he lives, between 2011 and 2013 and is still a popular figure at the club.
“I’m absolutely delighted with them.” Harris was also pleased with the return to form of midfielder George Saville, who went close to getting a first goal for the club before he set up Shaun Williams for the clinching second.
EIL Harris went back to Roots Hall for the first time as Millwall’s permanent manager since his spell as a player at Southend – but insisted the occasion was not about him.
Millwall are back at the ground on December 28 in their return League One fixture with Phil Brown’s side, and Harris stressed the focus will be the same again.
The Lions boss again emphasised the approach with the young players and the aim to improve them as the season progresses. “You look at George, you look at Aiden (O’Brien) or Fred (Onyedinma) at times. You talk about Sid (Nelson), Ben (Thompson), Jordan (Archer), they’re all very young men in the modern game. And they’re going to have dips, they’re going to make errors.
“I made it clear with everybody it wasn’t about me coming back here, it was about the players,” he said. “And it was about us progressing in the cup. “When we come back here in the league it will be exactly the same. The only thing that matters is we come here and win the league game.
“But where we’re at as a club, we don’t mind that. We want to limit the errors and the dips in form but we’re here to help them. And George was back to his best (Tuesday).”

SOUTHEND UNITED MILLWALL

ILLWALL are through to the southern section final of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy following a 2-0 win over Southend United at Roots Hall.
HOW DID MILLWALL RESPOND AFTER THE WEEKEND’S DEFEAT? Unsteadily, at first. Neil Harris started Mark Beevers after his one-game ban. He replaced Sid Nelson in a Millwall defence that was jittery and disorganised last weekend.
After the home side had made a strong start to the game, captain Steve Morison gave the Lions the lead in the 34th minute with a smart back-post finish.
Southend had much longer to prepare for the fixture: 10 days during which Millwall lost to Burton and were knocked out of the FA Cup against Wycombe.
Millwall doubled their lead 20 minutes after the break when midfielder Shaun Williams found space on the edge of the area to fire home his fourth goal of the season.
Initially, it looked like it had been time well spent. The chief initiators of their early moves were Dave Worrall, nominally in a role on the left of midfield but always looking to join in with well-constructed attacks, and Jack Payne, buzzing around in that space in front of Millwall’s defence.
Phil Brown’s side were rocked by those concessions and it was Millwall who could have gone further ahead, but Byron Webster’s shot was cleared off the line and then Ed Upson’s volley was scrambled away.

A lot of the play in the early stages of the first half was down Millwall’s left, where centre-forward David Mooney was targeting Joe Martin.
makeover and they now looked something like the team that had gone nine games unbeaten before the recent inconsistent spell.
Martin was eventually booked for a foul on Payne after the diminutive attacker had impishly slipped the ball through the full-back’s legs. Minutes earlier Jordan Archer was at full stretch to tip the ball over after Mooney had teed up Worrall outside the box from a long clearance. It was a really excellent save.
It was Harris’ side that looked the more likely to get a third goal. Upson’s shot from inside the box was scrambled away. Gregory and then Aiden O’Brien tumbled in the area but referee Simon Hooper wasn’t interested. Southend switched to 3-4-3 with the introduction of striker Joe Pigott and then Glen Rea, and while they still looked a threat it was more to do with knowing that time was running out rather than the cuteness with which they had put Millwall under pressure earlier.
When the opening goal came it was almost a direct reversal of the narrative in the clash between the sides earlier in the season when Millwall did most of the running before being sucker-punched by the only two shots on target they conceded. Southend hadn’t had a whole lot to deal with until a Will Atkinson mistake left Lee Gregory charging towards Dan Bentley’s goal. Bentley produced a fine save but Brown’s side didn’t adequately clear and when Carlos Edwards’ cross found its way to Morison at the back post the striker found the far post with a first-time volley.
WEMBLEY DREAM STILL ON And this was always the more likely route there, of course. They’ve come impressively through the tougher side of the draw and will now face Oxford United for a place in the showpiece final. There were much-improved individual performances that helped them there. Saville again looked more like the aggressive, confident figure that he did when he first joined on loan from Wolves. O’Brien put in a serious shift on the left wing, while Morison and Gregory, once Southend had made that earlier mistake that led to the opening goal, physically dominated their opponents, particularly in the second period.
SOUTHEND FINALLY BROKEN AT HOME They were unbeaten at home in seven games since September 12, but then found themselves two down after 65 minutes, partly down to their anxiety in pushing too many players forward with too long left to be desperately chasing it. It was as if all the plans compiled in the previous 10 days had been tossed away. It was developing into a Millwall-type game.
Beevers was also an important addition to the back four.
They had been warned when Upson found space opening up in front of him on the counter. The midfielder never gave the impression he had enough pace to capitalise, though, nor did Millwall’s supporting cast have the pace to catch him. Southend retreated but when the ball broke on the edge of the box George Saville whistled a left-footed drive inches wide.
Harris had called for a response, and it couldn’t have been delivered more perfectly.
Southend were punished for their naïve haste in the 65th minute, however, when Saville played the ball to Williams and he rifled a low shot to the corner that Bentley got a palm to but couldn’t keep out. Bentley, such a fine keeper and the bane of Millwall at The Den, caught out perhaps by the pace of the strike. ©MillwallFC

honesty from me, praise when it’s really good and learn from it when it’s not so good. “I was frustrated after Fleetwood because in my opinion we didn’t compete in the game.
Michael Harriman’s late winner saw the Lions knocked out of a second cup competition this season against League Two opponents after Barnet won 2-1 at The Den in the League Cup in August.
“Saturday, I was frustrated because I thought they played the cup tie more aggressively than we did. The way we played frustrated me because going forward we were as poor as we’ve been this season.
Manager Neil Harris revealed there were some harsh words spoken in the dressing room immediately after the defeat to Gareth Ainsworth’s side, but he said he was pleased with the response he got from his players as they prepare for the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy southern section semi-final at Southend on Tuesday night.
“I was disappointed because I thought our front four players didn’t use the ball at all. “But I got a big response from the players yesterday morning, collectively and individually. Me and my staff had watched the game back by the time they came in. We evaluated it, and ourselves, and the players.
“I asked them after the game (about the performance),” Harris said. “Some of the senior players spoke, there were some one-word answers, which was interesting and honest. I’ve been on record as saying before that we don’t have a blame culture. We have accountability and honesty and respect.
“When they came in I shared my opinions with them, constructively. I told them exactly what I expect of them moving forward. I spoke to the attacking unit as a group and the feedback, the focus and discipline was brilliant.
“If players put their hand up after the game and say, ‘I was poor, I made a mistake’, that’s fine, great, but don’t make the same mistake again, that’s all I ask. So no blame culture, just
“It was a good morning yesterday, and it leaves us fresh and bright and focused for tomorrow night.”

THOMPSON: I W ANT TO PLA Y FOR MI LLW ALL FOR A S LONG AS I C AN By John Kelly
B
EN Thompson says it means “everything” to him to play for the club he has supported all his life.
The Millwall midfielder signed a new deal last week until the summer of 2017 and marked it by scoring his first senior goal for the club in the disappointing 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Wycombe at the weekend.
afraid to shoot on the edge of the box if the ball comes out. I’m always practising in training so hopefully I can score many more. I just saw the opening and hit it hard and low. As soon as I hit it I knew it was going in, there was a big pathway and it went right in the corner.”
And though he was pleased to get off the mark in his 16th appearance this season, he admitted the result took some of the sheen off that milestone.
Thompson said he wasn’t worried about his long-term future with the Lions, preferring instead to focus on his own footballing development.
He explained: “It’s mixed emotions. Very, very frustrated. I’d love to have scored maybe the winner or been part of winning the game.
“I’ve been getting my head down, playing my football,” he explained. “The manager told me it’d all be sorted and it has in the end. I just concentrate on my football and that side of things being sorted in the background.
“Very disappointed with the result but there you go. I was thinking before the game having signed a new contract what a great time it would be to get a goal. It’s a very good feeling.
“It means everything to me (to sign a new deal). I’ve supported the club from a young age, always been a big fan. To stay here as long as I can (would be) excellent.”
“I’ve had a good few shots now and it’s taken a while for one to go in. I’m never

After a number of questionable refereeing decisions in the last two fixtures, Thompson revealed the difference in his attitude to officials as a fan and now as a player. “Obviously you’re going to get decisions that don’t go your way,” he said. “A couple haven’t gone our way, a couple have. But you’ve got to get over that, keep playing and hoping something’s going to go your way. “I’ll have a go at a ref but I’ll never get a yellow card from it, I don’t see the point. It’s not going to change his mind, you’ve just got to carry on with the game and keep focussed. “When I was a fan I was totally different, you see things in a different picture. You shout everything, but that’s football.” Thompson has also recalibrated his ambitions this season given the number of appearances he already has under his belt is more than he expected to have at this stage of the season. “(I want) as many starts as I can get,” he said. “At the start of the season I was saying between five and 10 games, now it’s gone up to 20, 30 games. And as many goals as I can get.” Thompson travels with the rest of the squad today to Southend, where the Lions will be attempting to atone for Saturday’s defeat. Millwall seemed to have wrested the initiative from Wycombe last weekend when they equalised in the 57th minute, but Gareth Ainsworth’s side weren’t cowed and Thompson stressed the importance of being in the right frame of mind for the contest at Roots hall. “Once we got one back you think you’re going to go on and win the game,” he said. “When things aren’t going well you’ve got to stay in your shape and wait for an opening, maybe a counter-attack or something like that. It was a tough game, and the wind and the conditions didn’t help. “We’ve got to get our heads right for Tuesday night, it’ll be a big game. Hopefully I can play a part in it.” 30

appearance at the Amex Stadium and his inclusion was one of five changes made by Ian Holloway to the starting XI.
EE Gregory’s fourth goal of the season earned Millwall a vital win at Brighton.
Gregory tucked away one of few clear-cut chances in a scrappy match to move the Lions up to 17th in the Championship table.
Magaye Gueye, Martyn Woolford, Danny Shittu and Mark Beevers also came into the side as the Lions went with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Both sides have been on miserable runs of form in recent weeks but Millwall made the markedly better start on the south coast.
The visitors were holding onto their lead for long spells but Danny Shittu marshalled the back four to a hard-earned clean sheet – just a week after Millwall conceded five to Middlesbrough.
After Solly March saw a deflected shot held by David Forde, the Lions took a grip on the early proceedings with some sharp passing and neat interplay.
It wasn’t pretty but the three points were all that mattered for the Lions. Spaniard Angel Martinez made his first Millwall

By the end of the half, the visitors were sitting deeper and deeper inside their own half but they took their 1-0 advantage into the break.
A clever reverse pass from Martyn Woolford found the run of Gregory inside the box but the striker’s snapshot was deflected behind for a corner.
The second period began in a similar fashion, with Brighton on the front foot and looking the more dangerous of the two sides.
Scott McDonald then fired over the bar from long range after a quickly-taken free kick before successive Scott Malone crosses were scrambled clear by the Seagulls.
Darren Bent, who had been anonymous in the opening 45 minutes, suddenly had two chances in quick succession but shot into the side netting before heading wide.
But the Lions deservedly took the lead in the 15th minute when Gueye’s miss-hit fell kindly to Gregory, who steered his shot across goal and inside the far post.
The Seagulls then carved out their best opportunity so far when Adam Chicksen crossed for March, who was unmarked but fired wide on the half-volley.
Brighton’s nerves were evident but Millwall failed to ram home their advantage after going in front.
At the other end, Gueye’s free kick drifted over and Martinez’s low drive was pushed away by Stockdale as Millwall finally generated a bit of forward momentum.
Instead, Sami Hyypia’s side edged their way back into the game, with Gary Gardner going close from a free kick and Forde denying Jake Forster-Caskey.
Five minutes were added on by the fourth official but the Lions dug deep to clear a flurry of crosses and corners into their box and claim a crucial victory.
Gardner side-footed over in the 33rd minute before Forde palmed behind Joao Teixeira’s drive at his near post.
