Millwall boss: Athletic ‘robbed’

DEAN Holden came out to face the press after SAturday’s game and revealed that Athletic's staff weren’t the only ones who felt they were hard-done in the Millwall match.

“Neil Harris - Millwall's manager - came into our office and apologised, saying he felt like his side had robbed us. It feels a little like that and a bit raw, and the lads are hurting.

“We started sloppily and were caught cold for the opening goal. It took us a while to get going but once we did, we got a foothold and kept them in their last third for decent periods. In the second half, the tempo was right up there and we created some good chances.

“We feel a bit hard-done by, but football is like that sometimes.

“The last few performances have improved and this was the best we have had at home for a while.”

Harris, whose side is now only three points off a play-off spot, felt his side showed quality at just the right time.
