Millwall, no one likes them, or so their supporters continue to remind us. They do however continue to be an enigma to Derby County. We have lost more times to them than we have won.
Just over a year ago we walloped Millwall five-one in their own back yard, yet conversely we managed to lose one-nil at home in the run in to the Championship.
Derby County first met Millwall on Saturday 8th October 1966 and funnily enough we won, again by five goals to one.
The fact Derby have only ever done the double over Millwall once in the 1968-69 season, shows what a hard side they are to beat on their day.
So you never quite know what Millwall you will face if history is anything to go by. You have to say though that Derby do now look a team ready and willing to make the transition from promotion contenders to promotion winners and a good win against Millwall will go a long way to see that that is what happens, but then again Millwall are an enigma, so watch this space.
I guess most people of an age to remember will never forget the infamous play-off semi-final second leg of the 1993-94 season, Derby won that by a five-one aggregate score line. Funny how five-one keeps coming up in games. Well that game ended with a pitch invasion and unsavoury scenes in and outside the ground……. That is why people don’t like you Millwall, hopefully you have mellowed and now you do care, at least about the football...
Score prediction, well it had to be really, Derby County 5 Millwall 1.
