Hide AdHarris on Millwall frustrations
Millwall boss Neil Harris has issued some additional thoughts on his side’s draw with Oxford after watching the game back. “I think my frustration afterwards was evident with the fact we didn’t win the game and then I went two-fold after watching the game back on Saturday night,” Harris told South London News.
“Firstly we were by far the better team. I stick by what I said, we didn’t have the killer instinct. We didn’t have those final moments of quality in the twelve-yard box, which was probably needed to get two or three goals up to give ourselves the breathing space. But on the flip side, Oxford never caused us a problem, and we looked so reliable and solid and comfortable in a Championship game, as comfortable as I can remember us for the whole time I’ve been here. I think that was the frustration and we got sucker punched at the end.
“Then I flipped the other way and thought, we’ve done that to teams this year. We went to Swansea and did that, and the boot has been on the other foot so I have to accept this can happen to us at times.”
Chair claim
Former Stevenage boss Dino Maamria believes QPR star Ilias Chair has Premier League ability. He told The Deck: “It is really unfortunate what happened to Ilias Chair because he is a top top player. Listen he is playing in the Championship, at one of the best clubs in the Championship.

Leeds striker chase
Leeds United are being linked with a move for Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Dor Turgeman as they continue their bid to return to the Premier League. The forward is just 21 years of age but is already a seven-time senior Israel international.
Maccabi are not keen on the idea of selling the forward in January, according to Sport5, but the right fee could force a deal. The report suggests Turgeman could cost around £4.1million.
