A lack of experienced options from the bench ultimately cost Millwall a famous win against bitter foes West Ham in the Docklands derby, Alex Neil has said. The Lions manager says the surrendering of a 2-0 lead to the Hammers in Saturday lunchtime's thrilling 2-2 draw came down to increasing fatigue and an inability to be able to call upon some key injured players to freshen up the play and help protect the lead. There was no Josh Coburn, Casper de Norre, Mihailo Ivanovic or R

Just your average day at the Den? Not quite : Picture by @YTJourno Championship Millwall (2) 2 Taylor 16, Neghli 45+3 West Ham United (0) 2 Kante 74, Mavraponos 80 Kante s/o 89 Every tackle cheered to the rafters. Every contact a prompt for howls of protest. Every mistake from the opposition greeted with cheers of derision. Welcome to the Den on derby day against the team Lions fans hate more than any other foe. The Hammers were caught in a first-half storm that all-but crush

Aiming for the top: Friday night brought Wrexham to town. And three easy points.

They are back on top of the league - at least until tomorrow - and look more than

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

Picture by @YTJourno QPR turned in a dominant display in their first home league game of the season in the Championship but had to settle for a 0-0 draw against Bolton Wanderers. They won the shot count 18-2 with 10 on target compared to none for the Trotters. But they were unable to follow up last week's impressive win at Portsmouth with another victory. Julien Stephan was in philosophical mood afterwards, however - and happy to move on after a decent performance. "It's foot

In front of a nearly full London Stadium Jarrod Bowen and Taty Castellanos did most of the damage to a promising Pompey side. For the first time in fifteen years West Ham United were required to take part in the First Round of the League Cup. More than 53.000 spe

Up until yesterday’s clash between the neighbouring countries, the Blues were 3-2 ahead in these London charts thanks to Oscar (1) and Schurrl

London Stadium. Picture by @CapFootballUK West Ham United 3 Leeds United 0 Wider events of the day, out of their hands, the prospect of relegation to the Championship hovered with the intense heat above the London Stadium. West Ham did all they could do, as it turned out. A 3-0 win over Leeds United is an impressive scoreline on the face of it. As usual though, facts only temporarily disguise a bigger, more morose picture in east London, now that relegation is confirmed. The
