Millwall were handed a second successive home defeat after a 2-0 defeat to newly promoted Wrexham.
Kieffer Moore once again proved to be the tormentor, netting his fifth goal in 11 games against the Lions to give the Welsh side the lead. Lewis O’Brien struck late in stoppage time to confirm Wrexham’s first league win since their promotion last season.
However, the victory was overshadowed by serious concern for goalkeeper Danny Ward, who required ten minutes of treatment on the pitch before being substituted in the final moments.
Wrexham arrived in SE16 still searching for their first league victory of the campaign, while Millwall looked to make their home advantage count. The Lions were the brighter of the two sides in the opening half, with Camiel Neghli twice testing the Wrexham defence, though his efforts were blocked.
The visitors’ best chance came when a deep cross from the right drifted over Tristen Crama and fell kindly to Moore, only for Benda to rush out and close the angle. Millwall nearly broke the deadlock when Aidomo Emakhu’s delivery found Ivanovic, but the forward couldn’t steer his header on target.
The second half began with Millwall pushing forward. Coburn, Ivanovic, and Zak Sturge all came close, the latter denied by a smart save from Ward. Yet, against the run of play, Wrexham struck first. Max Cleworth’s cross was met by Moore, who beat Benda to the ball and sent the travelling support into celebration.
Millwall responded with pressure of their own, Emakhu blasting into the side netting before Kevin Nisbet spurned a golden opportunity in stoppage time after Ward spilled a cross. In the aftermath of that incident, Ward was seriously injured and required prolonged treatment before being replaced.
With the game stretched, Wrexham took advantage. Lewis O’Brien pounced in stoppage time to secure all three points, sealing a memorable away victory for the newly promoted side.
Trial by Media: Liam Roberts, the BBC’s Free Pass to Parish, and Clickbait Vultures
Football’s a brutal game, and goalkeepers always seem to get the worst of it when the spotlight burns bright—especially when it’s live on the BBC and the media decides to pick a side. On March 1, 2025, at Selhurst Park, our Millwall man Liam Roberts went in high on Crystal Palace’sJean-Philippe Mateta during the FA Cup fifth round. Six minutes in, a red card. Mateta stretchered off, 25 stitches, a hospital stay—all broadcast in real time. The FA took the initial three-game ban and stretched it to six, calling it “insufficient.” Rules are rules, fair enough. But what’s followed isn’t justice—it’s a media execution, fueled by unchecked rants and clickbait vultures. And while the headlines scream, no one’s asking: how’s Liam handling this? How’s his family coping?
This wasn’t just a controversial moment—it was primetime drama. The BBC’s live coverage meant Roberts’ challenge was dissected instantly. Jonathan Pearce and his crew hammered our fans for the “let him die” chants, but here’s the twist: in the 27th minute, Palace fans chanted the exact same thing at a Millwall player. Funny how that didn’t make the cut. No replay. No outrage. When our lot did it? Headline news. Then came the real kicker: Palace chairman Steve Parish, given a live halftime platform to rant unchecked.
“The most reckless challenge I’ve ever seen,” he fumed, telling Roberts to “have a long hard look at himself.” And the BBC just let him roll. No pushback, no balance—just a chairman, mid-game, using the national stage to tear into an opposition player. Should Parish have had that platform, no questions asked? No chance. A chairman’s job is to run his club, not play judge, jury, and executioner on live TV. But his rant set the tone, and the media lapped it up.
The Daily Mail’s Kieran Gill demanded the book be thrown at “boorish, beastly Millwall” and our “reckless keeper” (source). Oliver Holt compared it to Schumacher’s infamous 1982 World Cup challenge—seriously? Chris Sutton piled on in Mail Sport’s podcast , Richard Keys and Keith Hackett weighed in on Football Insider, and The Guardian, The Athletic, The Independent, Express.co.uk —“reckless Kung Fu kick”—kept the fire burning. SPORTbible called it “nasty”. Even the Second Tier Podcast, the self-appointed voice of the Championship, cashed in—turning Roberts’ nightmare into clickbait gold. Everyone had an opinion, but not one of them checked on the man himself. Not one called out Palace fans for the same chants they condemned us for.
Other coverage has been just as relentless:
The Guardian: Millwall’s Liam Roberts hit with six-match ban for challenge on Mateta
The Sun: Jean-Philippe Mateta breaks silence after being rushed to hospital with horror injury during Crystal Palace vs Millwall
Let’s rewind to 1982: German keeper Harald Schumacher clattered into France’s Patrick Battiston in the World Cup semi-final. Hip-first to the face—out cold, three teeth gone, vertebrae cracked. The media went wild: French papers called him an “assassin,” British headlines branded him “brutal,” even German outlets questioned his head. But no red card. Just a free kick the other way. Madness. Death threats followed, his reputation trashed, and barely anyone asked how he was coping. It scarred him for life, but the press didn’t care—they just needed a villain. Sound familiar?
The BBC’s live cameras turned Roberts’ moment of misjudgment into a national scandal. Palace fans chanting “let him die” at 27 minutes? Ignored. Millwall fans doing it? National disgrace. Parish’s unchallenged halftime tirade? The matchstick that lit the fire. Should the BBC have let him rant like that without a counterpoint? Absolutely not. That wasn’t balance—it was a free pass to stoke the flames. The FA doubling the ban, the Mail getting banned from The Den for their character assassination, the pile-on from pundits—it all snowballed from that skewed coverage. And Second Tier Podcast? They just saw an opportunity to milk it for views and likes.
Roberts isn’t Schumacher. There was no intent—just a split-second misjudgment at Selhurst Park, as Millwall have made clear from the start. But the playbook is the same: the media picks a villain, pundits and clickbait merchants jump on board, and the human being at the center of it all gets lost. The club has called out the “abhorrent online abuse” Roberts has faced—death threats, hate messages, the lot. Imagine it: you’re 30 years old, doing your job, make one mistake in front of millions, and suddenly you’re a pariah. Your family scrolling through all that venom. Your mental health in freefall. Where’s that story? Nowhere. The BBC aired the tackle, but they won’t cover the fallout—or the hypocrisy. Second Tier just wants engagement.
Where’s that story? Nowhere. The BBC aired the tackle, but they won’t cover the fallout—or the hypocrisy. Second Tier just wants engagement.
This isn’t about dodging responsibility. Roberts took his ban. We wish Mateta well in his recovery. But while his stitches heal under the spotlight, Roberts is being buried in silence. Goalkeepers walk a tightrope—one mistake, and you’re done. Schumacher carried his for decades. Roberts is carrying his now, amplified by Parish’s microphone and the BBC’s stage. Yet the verdict is already written: reckless thug, case closed. No one’s asking how he’s sleeping, how his family is coping, or what it feels like to be football’s latest scapegoat while rival fans get a pass and pundits cash in on the outrage.
As Millwall fans, we’re used to the hate—it’s part of the territory. But this? This is different. So here’s our message: punish the act, not the man. Liam Roberts is one of ours, and he deserves better than this trial by media. Parish shouldn’t have had free rein on the BBC, Palace fans shouldn’t get a free pass for the same chants, and Second Tier can shove their clickbait. We want the full story—someone ask how Roberts is actually doing. Keepers have been through this before, and the press never learns.

No one likes us, and we’re fine with that—but we won’t let one of our own drown in silence.
On the whole, he did a good job at PNE. There were some fantastic spells and some lower moments but he’s highly thought of by the majority of supporters and most would’ve embraced him back with welcomed arms when there was a vacancy for us earlier in the season.
•Did the team demonstrate progress or improvement compared to his predecessor’s era?
Interesting question. On the face of it, Simon Grayson had us 11th for our first two seasons back in the Championship and Neil only bettered this twice. However, we built on the excellent foundations that Grayson left and we managed to develop the style of play to become a more enjoyable watch, whilst giving us genuine hope of a top six finish.
•What were the standout moments, both high and low, during his time in charge?
Our first season in 2017/18 was immense. We pushed the teams at the top right to the end and eventually, missed out on play offs after the last game of the season. The so called ‘Covid Era‘ was a tougher period and this eventually led to his dismissal whilst we were 16th in the league – which is by no means a dreadful place to be in when you consider our budget.
Playing Style
•What was the defining style of play for Preston under Alex Neil’s management?
Intensity. It was a good watch, with plenty of energy and fight. The team was willing to press and be direct, which will go down a treat at Millwall.
•Did he stick to a specific tactical philosophy, or was he adaptable in his formations and strategies?
Throughout the majority of his reign we played a 4-2-3-1 although towards the end he tinkered with a back three. He was always insistent on North End being proactive rather than reactive to in game situations.
•Are there any memorable matches or performances that best illustrate his tactical approach?
PNE 3-2 Blackburn – This game epitomised North End’s strength in local derbies during AN’s tenure. We went in at break 2 down but there was a ‘never say die’ attitude and we once again defeated Rovers. He recognised the importance of the rivalries to supporters and we always prepared well and usually won.
PNE 2-1 Fulham – Another particular strength during Neil’s time in charge – was our ability to upset the apple cart. This was a star studded Cottagers side but we were on top throughout and didn’t give them any respect.
Player Development
•Which individual players showed the most improvement during Alex Neil’s tenure?
Jordan Hugill was sold on for 10 million – which he looked light years away from when Neil joined the club. Paul Gallagher was probably his strongest player in a quarterback role – just conducting play. Think Barry Bannan (with excellent penalty taking too).
•Were there notable success stories involving young players thriving under his guidance?
The aforementioned Hugill was sold for 10 million. Callum Robinson was sold on for 7 million. We should have got a lot more for Ben Davies and Ben Pearson but we let their contracts run out. All four of them haven’t reached these levels since leaving Deepdale.
•How effective was the team in utilising transfers and loan deals during his time in charge?
This is one area that he got a bit of scrutiny for. There were far too many lacklustre signings that flattered to deceive, although the recruitment can’t be solely on the manager at any club. We had Lukas Nmecha and Anthony Gordon on loan – the latter infamously didn’t play so much.
Fan Relationship
•How did Preston’s fanbase perceive Alex Neil throughout his tenure?
For 3 years – he was loved by pretty much every PNE supporter you could find. It was exciting on the pitch and off it, he talked with his feet on the ground and he was not lost in the world of hyperbole. Towards the end, the fanbase became split – which is natural when the performances and results start to teeter off at any club. Some felt it was time for a change, I like others would’ve liked us to rebuild and reset in the summer with a coach who doesn’t become a failure overnight.
•Did he establish a strong connection with the supporters, or was there a sense of detachment?
Now, this is a key one. For me, I hate this modern day hysteria over the incumbent in charge flamboyantly throwing his fists in the direction of a begging crowd of supporters, chasing materialistic adoration. A connection should be built on the pitch and any manager that is willing to play aggressive football of high intensity will be liked at Deepdale. He doesn’t come over and play up to the crowd; he may even head to the tunnel after a game, which I’m sure will frustrate a section of your supporters!
Club Expectations
•To what extent did Alex Neil meet or exceed the club’s expectations when he was appointed?
Naturally, some supporters will point to Grayson delivering two top half finishes – suggesting the expectation would be to push closer to the top six. However, the budget during Neil’s 4 years in charge was consistently in the bottom six every year. The expectation would have been to raise our ceiling and to provide a competitive Championship side.
•Were there signs suggesting he could elevate the team to new heights, particularly in pursuit of promotion?
In his first and third season we came close. We sat in the play off spots when the season was curtailed for Covid-19 and most felt this knocked our momentum as we headed towards the dying stages of the campaign.
•How close did Preston come to securing a Premier League spot under his leadership?
The general feeling is that the 1-0 home loss to Frank Lampard’s Derby cost us in the 17/18 season. We had the chance to score from the spot and we had 19 shots to their 2. If we’d have won that we should’ve made the top six and pipped County to the final spot.
End of Tenure
•What were the key factors that led to Alex Neil’s departure from Preston?
Poor form. 1 win in 9 and it was just 16 months beforehand, that we found ourselves top of the Championship table. He was sacked in 16th which shouldn’t be looked at as some sort of failure.
•In hindsight, was it the right time for him to leave, or was his departure premature?
I would say premature. There was the feeling that we were in danger of the drop, when in reality we could have got zero points from the final eight and still survived. Some will say that it was time for a change but I’m a big believer that managers don’t become bad one’s overnight. We had sold three of his best players in January and we gave him seven weeks to find a way of playing with a new bunch of players. It’s the one major gripe I have with the club since our return to the Championship.
•How did the club perform in the immediate aftermath of his exit?
Frankie McAvoy – his long time assistant was given the job and after a short manager bounce – it was a pretty tough watch. There were some enjoyable moments of Frankie’s reign and he was a lovely bloke but I think in hindsight he’d have preferred to stay in the background continuing the good work he was doing on the training pitch.
Comparison
•How does Alex Neil’s tenure stack up against other Preston managers in recent years?
Ryan Lowe came after McAvoy’s removal and he had us finish 13th, 12th and 10th. He did a good job in terms of results but we we’re not as enjoyable as a watch as under Neil, there were far too many one sided defeats and he rubbed up supporters with his abrasive comments at times. It is too soon to properly judge Paul Heckingbottom but it feels he is a good blend between Grayson’s fatherly warmth and Neil’s tactical ingenuity.
•If given the chance, would bringing him back be a viable option for the club?
He would’ve been considered when Ryan Lowe resigned in August. I think the fact that it would’ve upset a minority of supporters probably went against him and it was best starting afresh with a manager who also has a Championship promotion on his CV.
Millwall’s Championship season began in dramatic fashion with a 3-2 defeat at home to Watford, decided by a late goal in a thrilling encounter at The Den.
The match was marked by an emotional tribute to former Millwall goalkeeper Matija Sarkic, who tragically passed away at the age of 26 over the summer. Both sets of players and fans came together to honor his memory before kick-off.
First Half
The Lions started brightly, with Joe Bryan delivering dangerous balls into the box and Tom Bradshaw drawing a foul from Francisco Sierralta, resulting in an early yellow card for the Watford defender. However, Millwall failed to capitalize on the subsequent free-kick, setting the tone for a frustrating afternoon.
Despite Millwall’s strong start, Watford began to assert themselves midway through the first half, with Moussa Sissoko dominating the midfield. The breakthrough came in the 22nd minute when Edo Kayembe’s looping corner found its way directly into the net, catching Millwall goalkeeper Lukas Jensen off guard and giving the visitors the lead.
Millwall nearly responded immediately, but Bradshaw’s header went wide and George Honeyman’s effort hit the post, with Ryan Porteous clearing the rebound off the line to preserve Watford’s advantage.
Second Half
Millwall’s misfortune continued after the break, as George Saville was denied by the woodwork from a Honeyman free-kick. Then, in the 55th minute, Watford doubled their lead through Giorgi Chakvetadze, who unleashed a stunning 30-yard free-kick that left Jensen with no chance.
Refusing to surrender, Millwall pushed forward, and substitute Aidomo Emakhu injected some energy into the side. Emakhu’s cross in the 74th minute found Duncan Watmore, who fired in off the crossbar to pull one back for the Lions.
The momentum was firmly with Millwall, and they completed their comeback two minutes from time when Watmore scored again, slotting home George Saville’s pass to level the match at 2-2.
However, the home side’s joy was short-lived. In the dying moments, Watford substitute Rajovic headed in a deflected cross to snatch a 3-2 victory for the visitors, leaving Millwall to rue their missed opportunities and defensive lapses.

Millwall are set to be without Shaun Hutchinson for another few weeks.
The Lions club captain has not featured since he scored the winner in the 1-0 win at Bristol City on New Year’s Day.
Speaking to the South London PressMillwall head coach Joe Edwards confirmed that the former Fulham defender was still a ‘few weeks away.’
“Hutch is still a few weeks away, I think he is aiming to rejoin training properly in the next couple of weeks and see how that goes.
“Then it is a case when we get him back out on the training pitch, of building him back up. We have to be quite conservative in how we build him back up, given what has happened to him.
Hutchinson has been a huge miss for Millwall, having made just nine league appearances all season. The Lions have won eight games in the Championship this season – Hutchinson started in four of those underlining his importance to the side.
“Hutch is club captain and very experienced – he knows what it takes to play for Millwall. And even in this recent period, which has been difficult for us as a group, Hutchy has shared his experience with a lot of the younger and newer players – that this club has been in tougher times before, that you kind of have to step up and face it.
“My most successful period here as the coach was that Christmas period where Hutch played well against Norwich and then again against Bristol City. He was a big part of what that backline was doing – he is a big miss, for sure.”
Joe Edwards: Can He Salvage Millwall’s Season, or Is a Change Desperately Needed?
Millwall Football Club are on the brink of relegation. No one at the club wants to admit it, no one thought it could happen and those who hold the power at the club certainly did not plan on it when they appointed Joe Edwards as head coach back in November.
However, the Lions have picked up just 1 point from their last 7 games and have slipped to within just a single point of the relegation zone and the spotlight is firmly on Edwards.
On paper, the move to appoint Edwards whilst a brave one, looked to be a breath of fresh air, out with the old, moving in a new direction, all the typical cliches when this type of appointments are made in football. A young up and coming coach, known for his work behind the scenes at Chelsea, working along-side the likes of Mourinho and Conte, working with the brightest young talent the country has to offer at under 20 level.
Fast forward just 4 months and his job as head coach is severely under threat, with pressure mounting and growing numbers within the fan base calling for him to be sacked, it’s looking it could all end in disaster for Edwards in his first job as ‘the main man’.
Our lads at That Millwall Podcast remain divided over the sacking of Joe Edwards; is it a good decision and have put together the ‘For’ and ‘Against’ arguments…

Reasons to Replace Joe Edwards
Alarming Form
The club started the new year with a win at Bristol City, which was the 3rd win a row. Sitting 15th in the table and in fact closer to the play-offs (8 points) than the bottom 3 (10 points) things seemed to have settled down for Edwards and the squad. However since then, it’s been a sorry state of affairs. No win in 8 games (inc the FA Cup tie v Leicester), 1 point from a possible 21, 4 league goals scored, 15 conceded…
The list of unwanted stats are racking up for Joe Edwards and when you add into the mix his current win percentage as Millwall manager is 21.05% and ranks as one of the worst in the clubs recent history:
Steve Lomas: 25%
Ian Holloway: 22.58%
Joe Edwards: 21.05%
David Tuttle: 18.18%
Nigel Spackman: 16.67% (Stats from Millwall history)
The faith in Edwards’ ability to turn this situation around is fading quickly and something has got to give.
YouTube Show: Where does the blame lie – Millwall Board, Millwall Players or Joe Edwards and his Backroom team?
Lack of Managerial Experience (Especially in a relegation dogfight)
Edwards is facing something he has never had to previously in his career – a relegation battle, with a group of players clearly struggling to carry out his instructions and tactics. Whilst it may be harsh to suggest the players are just not listening to him the fact, he has been unable to galvanise the players over the last 6 weeks is incredibly worrying. The lack of confidence and self-belief appears to be dwindling by the week throughout the club and as the man responsible for trying to set the team up to go out and fight, Edwards is looking to be a little out of his depth and does not have he experience to fall back on that other managers in the Championship have and possibly more importantly the support staff around him who could help him when he needs it the most.

Tactical Stubbornness and a lack of ‘Plan B’
Joe Edwards has his way of playing, his set up, his style and that is why perhaps he was brought in, in the first place however, it’s just not working. The players at his disposal were predominately brought in by previous manager Gary Rowett to play a certain style and brand of football, which for most parts they were good at. Whilst it might seem admirable that Edwards is trying to get them to play better football and a passing/possession based game, the reality is they just aren’t capable of sustaining it for 90 minutes and are repeatedly being caught out. Yes, the argument that the players are letting him down is a valid one but most people who go to games or watch us on TV can see the players are not good enough to play the way he is asking them to but nothing ever changes and it comes across to some that it’s just a stubbornness that he will play his way regardless. Even in game, when its clearly not working, the game plan never really changes until its too late (which is often when we’re behind and we shift to a back 4) and most teams in this division seem to have just worked us out and ready to exploit us.

Reasons to Keep Joe Edwards
Inherited Troubles – both on and off the field
When Joe Edwards stepped into the spotlight at Millwall, he entered the club off the back of a tough series of events;
Missing out on the play-offs vs Blackburn
The sad passing of John Berylson
The parting of ways with long term manager Gary Rowett
Whilst we could never understand the full extent of the damage those 3 events caused behind the scenes at Millwall, it was clear that something wasn’t right and Joe Edwards took the decision to be the man to try and lift the club and get everything back on track, which was a brave decision considering it was his first venture in club management (albeit under the head coach title).
Add to this, he inherited one of the oldest squads (based on average age) in the division who had been on a terrible run of form over the previous 7 months (spread across 2 seasons) it must have daunting even if that wasn’t the message he was giving out at the time and it perhaps was always going to take a long time for the ‘Joe Edwards era’ to really start to get going and 4 months perhaps isn’t the right time frame to judge him on.
There are also issues away from the football, for example the delay there appears to be in getting the training ground plans moving, the issues with the sponsors that has been rumoured to have gone through to court – whilst they may not be directly issues Joe can deal with, they do hinder the running of the club and have financial implications.
Limited Resources
We can’t imagine that Joe Edwards was promised a huge war chest when he took the job and its likely that the club (and fans alike) expected him to use his knowledge within the youth set up and links back to Chelsea to bring in additions to the squad. Whilst we never went ‘shopping’ at Chelsea in January the players that come in, whilst they haven’t set the world alight, have shown the vision and ideas that Joe Edwards had (younger, pacy, athletic etc) but his hands were still tied massively in terms of funds and limited to players who perhaps we’ve only managed to attract due to previous injuries preventing them from making it at their parent clubs. Its hard to tell but would other managers have been able to do much better in the transfer market? Also, should Edwards stay on as head coach, there is a chance that come the summer when the overhaul will really take place, Edwards could attract several young players to come in and really freshen up the squad.
The Pressure is Mounting! Millwall Face a String of Make-or-Break Fixtures:
Feb 24th: Away to Southampton
Mar 2nd: Home against Watford
Mar 5th: Away to Blackburn Rovers
Mar 9th: Home against Birmingham City
Mar 17th: Away to Leeds United
Mar 29th: Home against West Bromwich Albion
Joe Edwards is in a make-or-break situation. Should Millwall accept these tough circumstances, wait for the tide to turn and hope Edwards can keep the club in The Championship? Or has the time come for the club to pull the trigger in a last ditch attempt to avoid the disastrous drop to League One?

Adam Barrett looks set to take charge of Saturday’s clash with Southampton.
The Lions have been without a manager since Gary Rowett left the club on October 18th.
Assistant manager Barrett has been in caretaker charge since Rowett’s departure and has so far taken charge of three games, Drawing two against Preston and Watford while losing one to Blackburn Rovers.
A number of names have been linked to the job most notably, Kevin Muscat, Michael Beale, John Eustace and Neil Warnock.
The latter is reportedly set to make a sensational return to Loftus Road after QPR sacked Gareth Ainsworth following their 2-1 defeat at home to Leicester – their sixth defeat in a row.
Bristol City have also parted ways with their manager Nigel Pearson. It has been reported that both clubs are interested in some of the names on Millwall’s shortlist.
Interviews have already taken place with more scheduled for this week. It is still not known what the timescale is for the Lions hierarchy to make an appointment. They have said that they are determined to carry out at comprehensive search before naming their new boss.
The Lions have two more matches, against the Saints on Saturday and then Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough next weekend before the international break.
could happen and those who hold the power at the club certainly did not plan on it when they appointed Joe Edwards as head coach back in November.
