Millwall turn to a home derby after another heavy away defeat
Wednesday 11 November 2026 · By Dominic Hale
Millwall remain 16th in the Championship after a 3–0 defeat at West Brom on Saturday, a second successive 3–0 away loss as they head into the international break. Alex Neil’s side were competitive before the interval, but they lost their way after the restart and have now conceded six without scoring across the week’s two league games.
Price opened the scoring in the 50th minute, a time confirmed in both BBC coverage and an independent local report. Molumby and Felix Horn Myhre added further goals; their exact minutes are still being independently checked and are not used here. BBC coverage listed only one Millwall shot on target against six for Albion, and local reporter Will Scott independently described Taylor’s late header as the only save forced. Coburn missed a good early opportunity.
Millwall have five wins, three draws and seven defeats from 15 matches, with 23 scored and 27 conceded. Their 18 points leave them six behind eighth-placed QPR. Third to eighth enter the six-team play-offs, with fifth meeting eighth and sixth meeting seventh in one-off eliminators, and third and fourth going straight to the two-legged semi-finals. Automatic promotion remains first and second only. Four defeats in the last six leave them in mid-table rather than in the promotion places, and also clear of the bottom three.
No reliable fresh medical bulletin was obtained this week. Osei-Tutu started at right-back against West Brom. Doughty, Arconte and Esse came on, so they should not be called unavailable on the basis of older previews. Earlier local reports on other absentees have no fresh return dates. Third-party booking totals are not being used to assert bans. Neil remains in charge.
The manager told BBC Radio London: “Then we lost our discipline and too many players were running around doing what they want.” He distinguished late individual failures from a structural numerical disadvantage.
The next match is at home to QPR on Saturday 21 November at 12:30 GMT, live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. Rangers hold the last play-off place on 24 points, six above Millwall, after Kamara’s late win over Lincoln, and a lunchtime derby at The Den is the first chance to respond. There has been no league football since Saturday. Neil remains in charge after two heavy away defeats and will want a more disciplined home display than the one he criticised at The Hawthorns. Stoke away follows on Wednesday 25 November at 20:00 GMT. Their last six league results are loss, draw, loss, win, loss, loss. The break offers a pause after two heavy away defeats, but the table still shows how quickly a home result against eighth-placed opponents would change the look of their week.
The Den is Millwall’s home in Bermondsey, south-east London. Opened in 1993 a short walk from the old Cold Blow Lane ground, it holds just over 20,000 and was the first new English stadium built to the all-seater standard after the Taylor Report. Four steep, two-tier stands wrap a conventional grass pitch. For visiting supporters the ground is compact, loud and easy to read once you know which end is yours.
The two ends sit behind the goals. The North Stand is the away section. From South Bermondsey station a dedicated matchday walkway runs to the visiting turnstiles, which keeps travelling fans off the home approaches. Allocations vary by fixture. Historically the whole North Stand could be given over; more recently the stand has been split, with away supporters typically in the blocks nearest the station side and home fans occupying the other half when demand is high. Upper-tier seats give the better view of the whole pitch. The concourse behind the away end is tight when a large following travels, so arrive early if you want a pint and a pie without a crush.
Opposite is the Cold Blow Lane Stand, the home end that keeps the name of the old approach road. That is where Millwall’s loudest support gathers. Yellow seating in that stand spells out “The Den”. Do not wander around that corner after the whistle unless you have a reason to; use the segregated route back to the station.
Along the sides, the Barry Kitchener Stand is the main stand: dugouts, press, directors and hospitality. It is named after the club’s record appearance holder. Across the pitch is the Dockers Stand, named for the Thames dock workers who formed much of the club’s early following. Zampa’s Family Stand and a run of executive boxes sit in the Dockers. Side-stand seats give the cleanest view of the pattern of play; end seats put you behind a goal.
Address for maps is The Den, John Berylson Way, London SE16 3LN. There is no public car park for supporters. The club and police expect away fans to come by official coach or by train to South Bermondsey. Canada Water (Jubilee and Overground) is a longer walk with step-free access if you need it. Buses serve Old Kent Road, Ilderton Road and Surrey Quays; check TfL on the day. Bag searches are routine. Leave large bags at home.
Tickets are category-priced by opponent. Collect or buy extras only at the away ticket office by the North Stand turnstiles unless your club tells you otherwise. Cash and card are usually taken, often with a small matchday surcharge. Wheelchair spaces for visiting supporters are in the North Stand at pitch level, with companion seats. Follow stewards for the accessible gate.
Inside, expect a proper Championship atmosphere rather than a tourist ground. The stands are steep, the noise carries, and the home support will let you know you are in their house. Keep colours covered until you are on the away walkway if you are arriving through mixed streets. After full time there is often a short hold-back before the walkway reopens towards the station. That is normal; wait it out rather than peeling off into side streets.
If you treat the ground as it is — compact, well signed for visitors, and proud of its edge — The Den is a straightforward away day. Get the train, use the walkway, sit in the North Stand behind the goal that faces Cold Blow Lane, and you will see the match from the right end of the pitch.
