Ian Holloway has been busy all week

11/1/14 League Game 25 Huddersfield 1 Millwall 0 att: 12,651

Ian Holloway's first game in charge and it is same as, yet another defeat. We nearly done it, so close to a point and not the usual heavy defeat but it wasn't to be. Huddersfield new signing Nahki Wells who cost them 1.3 million managed to be in the right place at the right time to pick up a ball which was a wayward header from Jack Smith and beat David Forde from close range with just a few seconds on the clock, it had to be, it was written.

Ian Holloway as been busy in the week following this game, the squad was formed into two teams of 11 a-side so they could be assessed. A lack of fitness was hi-lighted amongst other things and John Berylson is paying for a trip to Portugal for a mid season mini break and a stamina work out. This is excellent in my opinion and a chance of getting together while working and probably chilling in the evening. I wonder if JB will fly in.

He has now got his back room staff in, people he knows and have worked with. Marc Bircham from QPR and Des Bulpin who was also at QPR. He can now delegate duties to people he knows and can trust.
I am feeling, change that to, '"I am buzzing"' about the future and tomorrows game. Millwall supporters as I know are never that optimistic because in my case, always in the background that feeling of "something is bound to go wrong" haunts us and I don't like to tempt fate but something is brewing down at the Den. We talk about the fact that we have a good team on paper but not on the pitch and Ian Holloway knows this and he will sort it, I'm sure.
