Saturday didn’t really have an end of season flavour to it, with weather more suited to midwinter and a number of changes contributing to a disjointed start to the game. With Millwall in good form going into the game, they started brightly and created a number of chances. We also contributed to our own downfall with a number of misplaced passes and it was from one of those that they broke and duly scored with a coolly sidefooted finish from Keogh.
That seemed to wake us up and we took control of the game, winning plenty of possession in midfield and exerting pressure. We equalised through a good header From Evatt as he threw himself at a cross from Crainey. By half time we really should have been in the lead after a poor backpass was intercepted, but Ince failed to make the ost of the chance presented.
Second half we continued to dominate and duly took the lead with a lovely goal. A number of passes culminated with a crossfield ball to Crainey who put it back across the face of goal first time, for Dicko to score from close in. After that we were cruising until we decided to give a few players a run out ahead of the playoffs. As a consequence we sat a little deeper and paid the penalty.
We are now faced with a double-header against Birmingham for a place at Wembley. Without over-raising expectations, I think we have the capability to beat them, then it’s all to play for.
STARMAN: Keith Southern
