League One Play-off Final result 29th May

Millwall 1-0 Swindon Town
For the first time ever, Millwall won a play-off final. For the first time ever, Swindon lost.

Millwall weren’t at their best and reports that they walked all over Swindon seemed somewhat exaggerated from where I was sitting (the upper tier, near the goal Millwall didn’t score in) but there was no doubt about who deserved to go through. Paul Robinson was again the player there to make Millwall fans’ dreams come true. My dad was so happy! Until he started worrying about Millwall getting relegated next season.

Another first was that Steve Morison played at Wembley and didn’t score but Wales’ future star was one of Millwall’s best players and caused Swindon a lot of problems over the 90 minutes, the problem was that most of Millwall’s attacks lacked an end product. Swindon had their moments too and Millwall were quite lucky to keep their clean sheet intact

If Millwall play like that every week in the Championship, I think they’ll struggle. But I don’t think they will play like that. And many say that playing below your best and still winning is a sign of success.

Jason Price wasn’t in Millwall’s squad and has since been released.

Billy Bodin wasn’t in Swindon’s squad but perhaps the young Welsham will get his chance next season. Maybe one day soon he and Steve will be playing on the same side. For Wales.
