Born in Preston but raised in York.
One that was suggested heavily on here before it transpired Lindsay and Storey had turned into Ferdinand and Vidic.
They always seem to be that team who can come to Deepdale and flatten all expectations.
Just checked and they won 1-0 at Deepdale in Feb 2020 when the team had just won back to back aways at Wigan and Stoke and were pretty much top 2.
Slightly different type of game to today though!
Millwall actually changed their team a fair bit since then. Lost Jed Wallace in the summer but used money they've have given him with his new deal to sign a top young striker from the continent to add to likes of Bradshaw and Afobe. Important when you know a Rowett side is always going to be defensively secure at this level.
They won't be far off the top 6 this season and can't really see PNE finishing above them.

That's in addition to keeping Benik Afobe and Bradshaw aswell. Neither are going to threaten top of championship scoring charts but both have their strengths and differing styles so it's a very rounded Millwall attack.
Voglsammer had a decent scoring record in German lower leagues aswell but he didn't threaten as much today
Similar or lower crowds than us over the last few years but again, their recruitment puts us to shame

Looked a Prem player to me. Movement, strength, finishing, and looked a leader to boot.
Their attacking play in last few years has solely focused on Jed Wallace getting the ball and crossing from open play or set piece.
I imagine they put in a big contract to try to keep him but he wanted to move on so Millwall just got on with it and spent money on reshaping the forward line and we saw the results today.
Wonder where the money went on the phantom contract for Ben Pearson. Oh and the couple of million club eventually got in for Ben Davies. DJ and Browne did get lucrative new contracts but two years on neither are as influential as they have been for many years at this club.

They were decent allover the pitch Millwall even though we should've been 5-2 up in the second half
I really don't get why we're playing Riis. He's a one-dimensional player who is great at what he does. Unless you give him service into space it's pointless.
He's never going to excel in this system that works it around the box. It's frustrating that we can't utilise a genuine goalscorer.
Evans should scored from his cutback mind.
Riis can still get you up the pitch quickly. He's not a bad snapshot finisher either as goals v Boro, Coventry and many last season showed. One of those though who fluffs his lines too often when he has time to think.
Reality is you drop him again and it's a strikeforce of Evans-Woodburn/Maguire which shows the failure of recruitment in last two years.
I'm a big Riis fan. It's frustrating seeing him hung out to dry every week.
