Millwall fans view: Dreaming is free for Lions after huge three points against Derby

Well, Lady Luck certainly smiled on the Lions on Tuesday night in a tense 1-0 win over a physically-strong Derby County side.

That is three huge points, now putting Millwall just one away from the automatic promotion slot.

Blimey. It was not plain sailing at The Den though.

It has not been often that Millwall's defence has been so pushed around this season. More often it has been the other way around and those 15 clean sheets across the campaign so far have been justifiably earned.

But the Rams will rue a series of missed chances as the game stretched into the last few minutes which culminated in them hitting the post during added time.

An edgy close run thing then, but overall the Lions were good value for their fourth successive win.

If Millwall had taken more of the opportunities they created in the first half, then that frantic finale would have been a little easier on the nerves.

So, can we yet make an outsider tilt at that second spot currently occupied by Middlesbrough?

We will need Boro to drop some points before Millwall visit on Good Friday, but as Blondie once sang, dreaming is free…
