[b]LAST MATCH
Our first home game of the season and a local derby to boot against the dingles and a deserved 2-0 win for the boys. New boy Jacob Murphy made his debut and took only two minutes to open his account with a tidy finish after the ball broke to him in the box. Reach had a 1-on-1 but the goalie blocked well and Dawson saved well from point blank range. Harris always seemed a threat when he got the ball as we shaded the 1st half. 2nd half we bossed more than the first half, with Fletcher getting his first of the season after good work by Murphy & Lee. We had one scare when Lees had to clear off the line but we had several chances of our own with Fletch, Hutch, Rhodes, Harris & sub Luongo all having chances. We saw the game out with no major scares to make it 2 wins out of 2.
THE MATCH
Back on the road as we make the long trip down to Millwall. The Lions have won & drawn there first 2 games against Preston & WBA respectively. A team with with no real stars in it but manager Neil Harris always seems to get a performance out of them. A mid table finish would seem the most likely finishing position. We have lost only once on our last 6 visits to the New Den (no surprise it was when Dross was in charge and he didn't play any strikers
) while winning 3 times and drawing twice. Can we make it 3 wins in a row to start the season?

THE BASTARD IN THE BLACK
THE TEAM
Westwood & Iorfa return from suspension. Westwood will go straight back in while Iorfa could get a spot on the bench. Will Bannan be fit is the other question. If not I might start Luongo alongside Lee & Hutch to make us a bit more solid and drop either Reach or Murphy to the bench.

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
