The Den prepares : Picture by @YTJourno League Cup Third Round Millwall (0) 0 Newcastle United (0) 1 Willock 81 Sometimes you don't need a ton of goals for a thriller. A solitary Joe Willock goal with about 10 minutes to play was just enough to see the Premier League boys overcome the Lions in a rip-roaring encounter in which Millwall filled their fans with pride. Theirs was a great effort to contain and aim for a swift break or two and set

The Hammers were on song ; Picture @CapitalFootballUK Having swept to the top of the table with three wins out of three, Nathan Jones' Charlton Athletic travelled to Stoke City full of optimism, but a chastening first 45 minutes saw them well and truly humbled. Two goals from Justin Devenny, a deadline signing from Crystal Palace, one from Ethan Galbraith and another from George Hirst gave the Potters a 4-0 half-time lead. The Addicks did well to avoid further embarrassment a

Table Toppers It may not have been that spectacular, but Charlton Athletic fans are not complaining. Karlan Grant's 56th minute strike was enough to beat Preston 1-0 at the Valley on Sunday to make it an unexpectedly perfect start to this new Championship season for Nathan Jones' men. That made it three wins out of three for the Addicks, who are the only team with a 100 per cent record in the division. It once again owed much to a solid defence, with keeper Arthur Okonkwo hav

One undoubtedly significant element of Millwall's success in the Championship last season was their excellent away form and adventurous approach on the road - and they are at it again. No-one bettered the 11 wins they managed away from the Den in the league last term - not even champions Coven

Drinking it all in. Millwall boss Alex Neil after his side's cup win at Loftus Road : Picture by @YTJourno Alex Neil expressed delight at his goalkeeping hero Lukas Jensen after the stopper's extraordinary quadruple save in the penalty shoot out at QPR which guided the Lions into the next round of the Carabao Cup. But he also emphasised that the battle to become the regular number one is far from settled. The 27-year-old Dane achieved what very few have ever done in the game

Back on familiar turf : Picture by @YTJourno EFL Cup First Round QPR (0) 1 Sykes og 86 Millwall (0) 1 Cundle 53 (Millwall win 2-0 on pens) A penalty shoot-out at the School End in front of visiting Millwall fans proved to be too much for QPR as Lukas Jensen became the hero of the hour with four penalty saves to keep out all four Rangers spot-kicks. It was a quite extraordinary way for the drama to conclude. First the inspired stopper dived to his right to deny Ilias Chair, th

That was the season that was : Picture by @YTJourno AFC Wimbledon 4 Not the greatest of seasons for the Dons, who fell too close to the trapdoor for comfort towards the business end of the season. Johnnie Jackson's men finished only two places above the dotted line after losing nine of their last 11 matches and they managed only two goals in their last eight games. Only Marcus Browne (with 12) managed to get into double figures for goals. And home form was a concern, with onl
