'Lions step up when the heat is on'
Tuesday's magnificent win at Sheffield United, gives Millwall an unlikely, outsider's shot at the that late, late goal at Coventry last night certainly sprinkled a spoonful of reality over our morning cornflakes, but we are at our best always as the points back with five games to play? Can we do it?With our injury crisis, it will certainly be a massive achievement if we increasingly Alex Neil is pulling huge performances out of this improvement in players like Billy Mitchell, Joe Bryan and Josh Coburn up front, combined with much more tactical nous than we've seen in recent years at The Den, gives us a puncher's chance, to borrow a boxing onto Middlesbrough at home this need the gods of football to smile on us and keep doing so, but, as we've seen this season, this Millwall side can achieve some big results when the heat is on you Lions!Find more from Nick Hart on Achtung!

'Lady Luck smiled on us - hope she sticks around'
You can't beat a last-gasp winner, can you?So Mihailo Ivanovic's 93rd-minute penalty certainly sent most of the 16,000 fans at The Den home unexpectedly in truth, Saturday's tussle with Stoke had been a dull that probably favoured the Potters in terms of the best chances, so there was a strong sense of Lady Luck smiling on the Lions with that late spot-kick decision by referee Andy for the penalty strike itself, praise is due for Millwall's young Serbian for keeping his cool and powering the ball into the top right despite some mind games from the opponents, so well played Miha - forget your 'Panenka' merchants, that's how we like our penalties taken in South three points keep the Lions' season alive going into the international the top six is still six points off, with plenty of clubs between us and West Bromwich maybe Lady Luck can be persuaded to not just to smile on Millwall, but roll around on the floor laughing her head off at the prospect of the Lions making the play-offs?Find more from Nick Hart on Achtung!

Leeds cup win a 'season booster' for Millwall
'Focusing on the league' must be one of the most depressing football phrases in the 'football is a business', it normalises a drab world of second string teams and half-hearted early FA Cup exits by superstars who haven't quite made it table-topping Leeds United certainly were 'focusing on the league' by making wholesale changes to their starting XI in their 2-0 loss at home to Millwall on team selection was based more on the impact of injuries and cup-tied new signings, as much any league all this, did Leeds give this cup-tie their fullest attention and effort?It certainly looked like it as the match unfolded.A very open game, it was stand-in Lions goalkeeper Liam Roberts who rightly earned the 'man of the match' plaudits with a string of decent saves, as well as a game-saving penalty block on 58 will regard this excellent away performance as a real season booster - yes, whisper it, but we're only five points shy of the top six spots, dear a terrific showing of fine counter-attacking football and strong performances by two-goal forward Femi Azeez, as well as midfielder Casper De Norre, it may well be the Lions who also get to use this cup-tie win to 'focus on the league', more from Nick Hart at Achtung!

'Amazing what difference three points makes'
it's amazing what a difference three points can a tough week at The Den, Saturday lunchtime's hard-fought win at Kenilworth Road answered a few questions that were hanging over this course this game was never going to be an extravaganza of free-flowing open play. And it certainly wasn' if you're going to have a hard ground 1-0 result, then you want to be on the winning side of that thanks to an excellent ball from our highly rated prospect Ra'ees Bangura-Williams to club record signing Mihailo Ivanovic, the issue was settled with his fantastic ball control and a 25-yard dipping strike into the bottom left corner.A wonderful moment of skill to make up for a missed penalty earlier by another decent looking signing in Aaron the down side, the Lions' injury crisis continues to mount with both Calum Scanlon and goalkeeper Lukas Jensen substituted after being hurt, both joining an ever-lengthening medical list that leaves us worryingly short in some with a decent away win and some sterling performances by the likes of new signing Tristan Crama, Japhet Tanganga and Casper De Norre, Millwall can travel to relegation rivals Portsmouth tomorrow night feeling that 'O' word is stirring again in South more from Nick Hart at Achtung!
