The Lions' Roar by Ian Toal

Last weekend’s home defeat against Leeds United summed up our season well.

The Lions played well, putting the giants of the division under pressure in the second half and creating quite a few chances.

But you just knew that if we did not take one of those chances we would live to regret it. Predictably Leeds broke upfield and Prutton mis-hit a shot that squirmed into the bottom corner. One-nil then turned into 2-0 and it was game over for Millwall.
