Zian Flemming lashed home a 25-yard thunderbolt to draw Millwall level on the stroke of half-time, and the visitors had a number of chances after the break.

it’s already beginning to feel like a pretty bleak winter is looming large on the horizon in South Bermondsey.

Rowett was adamant that there was not much between the two sides and bemoaned Millwall’s inability to make the most of their own “good moments”.

The South Londoners have consistently struggled to score goals – a problem that arguably predates the Lions’ present incumbent.


Millwall boss Gary Rowett opened up on his decision to tweak his side’s shape following Tuesday night’s 2-0 defeat at Burnley.

The Lions made the trip to Lancashire off the back of a 1-0 loss against Reading at the weekend and were unable to bounce back against Vincent Kompany’s side, who sealed the points courtesy of second-half strikes from Vitinho and Jay Rodriguez.

Claims of advanced talks are wide of the mark – but Gary Rowett’s side do hold an interest in the 23-year-old forward.

Here are Daniel Marsh’s takeaways from Millwall’s first defeat of the Championship season.

Lions boss shared his thoughts after Millwall suffered their first defeat of the Championship season.

Millwall kicked off the 2022/23 campaign in style last weekend with a comprehensive schooling of Stoke City – but unfortunately, Saturday’s euphoria was short lived.

The former Birmingham City shot-stopper is a free agent after leaving St Andrews last month and will become the Lions’ sixth summer signing.

The 23-year-old became the Lions’ club-record signing after the Londoners struck a £1.7million deal with Fortuna Sittard last week, but what can fans expect from a player who spent years fine-tuning his ability in one of, if not the finest institution in European football? Here the former coaches who know him best shed more light on Zian Flemming’s development.

Big second-half performances at the Den have become a staple of Millwall’s season. It feels as though there have been countless occasions this year when the Lions have moved through the gears after the break to win matches.

Having a hand in both goals in the 2-0 win over QPR, Jed Wallace went one better by putting the Rams to the sword himself on Wednesday night as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.

Millwall came into Tuesday night’s clash against Preston in buoyant mood off the back of an impressive 2-0 win over West Brom at the weekend. Despite the Lions’ stuttering form in recent weeks there was a sense, perhaps, that another positive result could help Gary Rowett’s side kick on for the second half of the season.

Thompson came through the ranks in SE16 and clocked up 175 appearances for the Lions, notching 12 goals.

Daniel Marsh provides his four takeways from Millwall’s stalemate against Preston North End on Tuesday night.

Millwall sealed six-month loan deals for Oliver Burke and Luke Freeman in the winter window while Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Matt Smith and Ben Thompson all left SE16.
