Posted by stevie in Hello and welcome, hope you are all fit and well. In this post I will be telling you about the games played in November and December. Within these 2 months, I see my Millwall team play 11 games. I will tell you about all of these games.
November
This month gives us 5 games to play, 3 in the league and 2 in the FA Cup. First up is Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup 1st round.
Steve Morison and Neil Harris (2) got the goals for Millwall that put them through to the 2nd round of the FA Cup. Andrew Proctor and Jimmy Ryan got the goals for Accrington is this close game.
Neil Harris got the man of the match award for this game after he converted the 2 penalty’s into the net and grabbed his side the win the tie for his side.
We continued our unbeaten run in the league with a 2-0 win over Brentford. Neil Harris and Steve Morison scored there goals within 3 minutes of each other to give us the 3 points.
Keeper David Forde secured the man of the match award with more than 6 great saves when Brentford applied a lot of pressure on the Millwall Keeper.
A great win over a lower side in the league, Wycombe. Steve Morison(2) and Nadjim Abdou scored the goals.
The Lions were all over the Wycombe players and had 60% of the possession during this game. Nadjim Abdou got the man of the match award for scoring his nice goal to secure the 3 points and keep our unbeaten run going in the league.
A Steve Morison first half goal gave us the 3 points in this game. The Lions had plenty more chances to make it 2 or 3-0 but just couldn’t get the ball in the back of the net in the second half.
Alan Dunne achieved the man of the match award after being solid at the back, not letting anything progress through the back, Well done Alan!
This was the last game of the month and I wanted to end the month unbeaten, plus I wanted to get through to the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Darren Ward made a good start to match getting us up 1-0, then Neil Harris got 2 goals to secure the win and progress through to the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
After getting the man of the match in the last game, Alan Dunne took an early shower after making a bad challenge on a Bournemouth player.
Darren Ward got the man of the match award for this match after scoring another goal from defence and being solid at the back once again.
We still sit top of the league and are still unbeaten. We have played 18 games and have 46 points, 7 points clear of Leeds.
I once again got manager of the month, for having another unbeaten month. I wasn’t the only person to get an award that is contracted to Millwall. Take a look at this….
December
This month gives us 6 games to play including a big game against Norwich. We also have 1 televised game against Charlton this month. First up is MK Dons.
The Lions kept up there unbeaten run with a great 3-1 win over MK Dons. Neil Harris opened the scoring puting Millwall 1-0 up. 3 minutes later Jermaine Easter equalised making it 1-1. Darren Ward put us ahead again, with Ali Fuseini scoring to secure the 3 points for the Lions.

Gary Alexander put us in the lead again after a great goal. Armann Smari Bjornsson scored a late equaliser to grab 1 point on a day that they shouldn’t have got any.
Gary Alexander got the man of the match award after getting the 2 goals for the Lions in a game that he could have got a lot more but played well enough to get the man of the match award.
We got the 3 points that we needed and kept our unbeaten run going. Steve Morison, Darren Ward and Ali Fuseini scored the Lions goals while Troy Deeney got the Walsall consolation goal.
David Forde got the man of the match award as he was phenomenal in goals and never let anything trouble him. He was unlucky with the goal that he let in from Troy Deeney.
Once again, we secured the 3 points, this time the match was a televised match. We have kept up our unbeaten run. Steve Morison and Neil Harris gave us a 2-0 lead before half time, before Miguel Llera scored a consolation 7 minutes from time.
Neil Harris got man of the match with a stunning performance, also adding another goal to him name.

Wes Hoolahan put Norwich in front with a goal 7 minutes before half time. Jason Price equalised 1 minute into the 2nd half. Grant Holt put Norwich back in front with a goal on the hour mark.
Ali Fuseini levelled with 10 minutes to go, and Neil Harris grabbed the winner with 6 minutes to go.
Alan Dunne was once again sent off for a second bookable offence with 4 minutes to go. Jason Price got the man of the match award for his great contribution to the win, and grabbed himself a goal as well.
A massive win over Bristol Rovers gave us our biggest win of the season so far. Danny Schofield, Jason Price(2), Neil Harris and Steve Morison all contributed to the massive win.
Jeff Hughes and Simon Lappin scored consolation goals for Bristol Rovers. Steve Morison claimed the man of the match after a great performance.
We sit top of the table by 12 points now, but Leeds have a game in hand to the Lions. 62 points from 24 games and still unbeaten is quite an achievement.
I am really proud of my players. Also another award…..
I won the Manager of the Month award again for the 3rd month in a row after winning 5 out of the 6 games in played in the league, and the Lions drew there other game against Hartlepool.
Hopefully the Lions can keep performing and get the League 1 championship in the trophy room!
Ali Fuseini was young player of the month after a great month of performances. Ali looks like a player for the future!
