Lions 0-3 Boro - the most 'Millwall' of results
After an opening week full of optimism and high hopes, Saturday's home loss to Middlesbrough was perhaps the most 'Millwall' of of the old cartoon gag, whereby Tom would step on a garden rake and slap himself in the face, much to Jerry's borrow a cliche: at this level of the game, if you don't take your goalscoring chances, then you'll be excellent opportunities for Millwall went begging. First, Camiel Neghli's header - with a strong shout for a penalty waved away by the Casper De Norre's volley was cleared from the line. All before a terrific second-half low header for former Teesider Josh Coburn somehow hit the crossbar, post and attending defender, before running away to your luck?If any of those chances had gone in, then maybe the outcome might have been it was though, excellent finishing - mixed with some lax defending - put Middlesbrough ahead on 49 minutes, before the coup de grace was delivered in similar style in the 87th third goal late in stoppage time was in reality the cherry placed on top of Boro's cake - nice to have, but the game was long over by very Millwall...

Zak Sturge and Josh Coburn's loans from Chelsea and Middlesbrough, respectively, have been made permanent, with Millwall spending a club-record fee on 22-year-old striker international Massimo Luongo and goalkeepers Max Crocombe and Steven Benda have also joined, while midfielders George Saville and George Honeyman have moved on to Luton and Blackpool respectively. 'I knew last season I wanted to come back' - Coburn Coburn arrived at the club on loan in January after Neil took over as head coach, and scored five goals in 21 appearances as he formed a promising strike partnership with Mihailo Lions missed out on the play-offs on the final day of the Championship season and Coburn said the players are confident they can push for a top-six place again this time round."I think at the end of last season I knew I wanted to come back. The lads have been great, the manager's been great, I've really enjoyed being back here for pre-season and now the real stuff starts," he said."We're really confident. I think we showed at the back end of last season what we're really about, and we're all prepared and ready to go."I know how much potential the team's got and how well I think we can do. Hopefully, we can prove it this season."

And this season he takes on the captaincy full-time after Shaun Hutchinson left the club at the end of his contract."I have done [worn the captain's armband] many times now on the pitch but to have full control of the club captaincy now is obviously an honour for me, for such a special club. I feel really honoured to have that opportunity," Cooper begin the new Championship campaign at Carrow Road on Saturday before a trip to Wales to face Newport County in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday."I don't think our record's too good going there, so we've got something to prove going to Carrow Road," Cooper added. "They've obviously got a new manager and a new style so it's going to be a great opener to see what the Championship's going to be about this year."Their first home match of the season comes on Saturday, 16 August against Middlesbrough.
