Picture From The FA.Com
On loan Arsenal striker Jay Simpson started for Millwall as they took on 13th place Huddesfield Town, a side seven place above them in the league, but as we are starting to find out about League 1, anybody can beat anybody.
The Teams:
Huddersfield Town: Glennon, Holdsworth, Collins, Clarke, Brandon, Williams, Sinclair, Jevons (Booth, 69mins), Beckett (Kamara, 74mins), Berrett, Page.
Subs not used: Eastwood, Schofield, Mirfin.
Millwall: Evans, Senda, Bignot, Brammer (Fuseini 62mins), Robinson, Whitbread, Simpson (Forbes, 74mins), Laird, Brkovic, Grabban, Alexander.
Subs not used: Edwards, Harris, Frampton.
Former Liverpool defender Zat Whitbread was recalled to the starting line up, but the issues at the back continued as Millwall gave away a penalty which experienced striker Luke Beckett stepped up and never looked likely to miss.
But after half time Millwall started to scrap for their lives, bookings for Whitbread and Danny Senda for Unsporting Behaviour showed they were willing to battle to try and save thier league status, but with still no goals coming, changes were made
Ali Fuseini > David Brammer (62 Minutes)
Jay Simpson > Adrian Forbes (74 Minutes)
A win would have eased the Lions relegation fears, sending them up to 18th, but it was not to be, the home side held on in a cold night at the Galpharm Stadium, to take all three points.

Nice to see Millwall improving every week :P
haha, at least he is actually playing ! unlike some of our loanees
True, the experience is good for him, and you right about the playing time, Gibbs and Randall have had sweet ‘FA’ of games. Randall played in that friendly against Bohemians, and Gibbs gets attacked by the Norwich fans after making his 2nd appearance…
hahaha, i really think Mark will be fantastic for Burnley his classy play, and he has the right attitude.
Simpson, i think will benifit the most, in a relegation dogfight.
*1st appearance
and yeah, Simpson seems the kind of character that would do well in a relegation battle.
Sounds like he has no future at Arsenal, I’d love to see him play with Ade and Eduardo, he’s one of those players who’d die for the shirt, we don’t have many of those in the first team any more.
