Despite the harshest of conditions, yesterday’s excellent team performance by the Lions at Oakwell saw Millwall inch ever closer to one of the unlikliest play-off bids ever.

As this edition of Achtung! Millwall is published, we stand just four points away from the prized sixth spot in the Championship league table - and the Valhalla of a shot at Premier League football.

All this on one of the lowest budgets, but best team spirits seen at The Den since the third division Championship winning side of 2000-01. Of course we need to maintain the incredible form that has seen us rocket up the league standings, but this will remain one of the most remarkable and dare I say, enjoyable, campaigns to live in the memories of us all for years to come, whatever the final outcome of the 2017-18 season.

Yesterday’s 2-0 was played in a variety of conditions ranging from blinding sunshine, high winds and blizzards of snow. The win was achieved by sheer hard work, mutual effort and esprit d’corps. It is one of the most ‘Millwall’ away wins in many years in my humble opinion.

I hope you enjoy this week’s edition, apologies for the poor sound quality on occasion, the wind whipped around the away end faster than the Barnsley fans streamed for the exits when Ben Marshall scored one of the goals of the season in the second half for 2-0 and game effectively over.
