An entertaining game in which there could have been more goals, fair result in my opinion although possibly created a shade more chances but credit Millwall for a big side they played some good football and looked more than dangerous when breaking from deep.
Could have scored with our first attack, good work down the left by Cunningham, Potts effort goalbound well blocked although possibly a sniff of hand ball, didn't matter a couple of minutes later Johnson down the left, got into the byline ball across the face of goal to the unmarked Maguire, never got there as Murray Wallace majestically slid it past his own keeper.
It wasn't long until he atoned for the by scoring with a header that was way too good for the Danish god between the sticks, this woke us up, we had a four man break following good work by early substitute McCann, however Johnson's pass was overhit and the chance went begging, chances were missed at either end and the phrase Maguire won't score has now been added to the Oxford English dictionary
Second half we started the better although our reluctance to shoot from distance is a bit annoying but in the space of 15 seconds Millwall could have scored four times, three were saved by the astonishing Iversen and the other hit the outside of the post, simply outstanding keeping
Maguire just failed to get enough power on an Archer shot and Potts headed one down which ended up hitting the bar.
Millwall pushed on trying to secure the extra two points to take them closr to the play off spots, but in the main we defended well against them.
Hughes nearly scored the goal of the season with an effort from 25 yards which just missed and we looked to sneak it at the end but just came up short.
Fair result onto the Cottage to uin Fulham's promotion party on Tuesday night
Referee: Mr T Bramall.
