'Fitting the profile' necessity for Harris' substitutes

Neil Harris told media the opening 15 minutes showed the levels between the two sides. The only goal of the game was scored by Jake Cooper inside 10 minutes. Harris was pleased with the way his side responded following the set back and took positives from all three strikers remaining fit.

Debutant Herd looked determined on his first game for the club when coming on but Harris focused on keeping the youngster humble as his journey from the youth team to men's team continues.

21 year old McConnell was on the receiving end of both of United's best chances against Millwall which Harris believed "he's got to score". Despite not being ruthless in front of goal, Harris brought up the progression projection for the inexperienced midfielder. McConnell has been told by manager Neil Harris that he will have to match the numbers of Isaac Heath and Ben Knight across the next 12 months.

Bauer will likely be out for 6-8 weeks with a torn hamstring as did McLoughlin against Bromley but Ben Knight was dropped in order for the attacker to rest after limping off against Bromley. With another centre back injured, there is a key gap in the squad depth that the club will look to replace before the window shuts next week.

"Magical" reception from the away fans had Neil Harris feeling "thankful" after the game despite the 1-0 loss. Millwall's top goal scorer had nothing but positive words for Millwall as a club and their fanbase. Harris earnt Millwall promotion from League One and gave the London club stability and to see their recent success, Harris was happy that he was able to say thank you after giving Harris multiple chances in his managerial journey.
