Millwall boss Neil Harris takes swipe at fans as Leeds United eye MLS transfer

The Championship’s weekend action brought a number of surprise results, with the London clubs no exception. Millwall were beaten at home by strugglers Coventry City, while QPR stunned Norwich City with a comfortable home win.

There is now a quick turnaround, with both the Lions and the Hoops in action during the week. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news surrounding the second tier.

Harris swipe

Millwall boss Neil Harris took a swipe at critical fans after the Coventry defeat, saying: “I’m disappointed with the result, obviously. We just lacked quality, didn’t we? No problem handling the football at times. In transition we gave it away a few times too cheaply, which caused us problems. I thought first half we were the slightly better team, but no end product, no creativity. Second half, I thought Coventry had a good ten-minute spell around the goal and looked dangerous. I thought their subs made a real difference, some real good players coming off the bench.

“We just looked like a team that was trying really hard and just lacked the moments. That’s where I think people have to get their head out of clouds and realise we’ve done well to achieve what we’ve achieved so far and how tough it is for us as a group. Right at the end we’re putting the ball in the box and one of the young centre-forwards and young wingers are standing outside the penalty area. It just shows we’ve got a lot of learning in front of us. That’s just levels isn’t it. That’s levels and that’s why you rely on players to have those moments and we lacked that level today.

“You miss Romain [Esse], you miss Japhet [Tanganga] and you miss Jake Cooper. Three players that probably get in anybody’s Championship team. So just a reminder to people, the thickos, that when you take the three best players out of the team that this is Millwall Football Club.”

Cifuentes on QPR win

After a much better day for QPR, Marti Cifuentes said: “I am very happy for the guys, they have been working really hard over the last weeks.

“Last week was very Important for us to try to build some momentum and I am very happy for the whole performance today, especially the fans because it has been a while since we won here, and I think that everybody deserved this one.”

Luna interest

Leeds United are said to be interested in a move for Real Salt Lake winger Diego Luna. The Mirror say the Whites are bidding to strengthen their attacking positions, and the one-time USA international is said to be of interest.

At 21 years of age, Luna has already made 67 league appearances, scoring 13 times. Luna is an attacking midfielder who can also play wide. His contract is up in 2026 as things stand.
