Quote:Town Supporters:

A few things-

I don’t like to communicate when I’m angry/frustrated, but after taking a deep breath I can tell you that not only do I hear you as always, but I share your frustration.

As I see it, supporters need something to support, and being honest- there’s not much there right now when it comes to results and entertainment on the pitch.

I am looking forward to arriving on 4 January, and I will be there with boots on the ground the entire month.

I will be there to ask tough questions of EVERYONE, from players to management to executives. And I will answer the tough questions posed my way as well.

I will be there for the entirety of the transfer window, as we will be strategic, surgical, and aggressive in trying to bring in the talent we need.

You are the customers, you spend your time and hard earned money to escape from the realities of the world for a few hours a week, and in return you deserve a product worthy of your time and money.

To be frank, we are not currently holding up our end of the bargain.

I’m not interested in blame, or fault, I’m only interested in identifying and assessing problems, and solving them as quick as possible.

That doesn’t mean we will always see eye to eye, but I can promise you as you spend your time and money on the club, I will be doing the exact same.

We will get through this, and we WILL build a sustainable winning club you can be proud of.

That’s everything.

As always thank you, this is YOUR club, and I am here to have your back.

I look forward to seeing many of you in person next month.

Head to Head



Town lead the head to head with 25 wins to Millwall's 21, with 7 draws.

We did the double over the Lions last season. Both 1-0 wins with a spectacular shot (cross?) from Yuta Nakayama in the 9th minute giving us the home win in October. And then in March, under the new management of Neil Warnock, we won down at the Den with Danny Ward scoring his first goal of the calendar year. His goal against PNE on Tuesday was only his third (from 23 games).

Meanwhile, our other striker, Jordan Rhodes has 13 in 18 appearances for Blackpool in the first half of this season. I know it's League One, but surely he has to be recalled in January. If only to give us some kind of goal scoring threat in the 3rd Division next season.

Anyway, Wardy's goal came after he came on as a second half sub, replacing Martyn Waghorn.

The last six games in this series have all been wins to nil. The last two as mentioned were 1-0 to Town. The season before saw a 1-0 home win (Jonathan Hogg scored!!) and a 2-0 away defeat. Then the seaon before during lockdown saw us win 3-0 at the Den, with goals from Josh Koroma, Pipa and Lewis O'Brien. But that was followed by a 1-0 home defeat with Scott Malone scoring.

December the 16th down the ages: How did we get on in previous matches played on this date?

Two fantastic away wins from the David Wagner era on this date. A wonderful Friday night win on Sky Sports down at Norwich in 2016. Elias Kachunga scored both goals in a 2-1 victory.

The following year, in the Premier League, we won down at Watford. This time it was an emphatic 4-1 win, with the Hornets stung by the brilliance of Collin Quaner. Kachunga scored the first, before Aaron Mooy made it 2-0. Laurent Depoitre made it three in the second half and then Mooy scored from the spot after Watford threatened a come back, which never came.

Can't believe how we have sunk so much since those heady days.
