HARRIS DENIED A FAREWELL WIN...

NEIL Harris expressed frustration at having to sign off as Millwall boss with a narrow defeat to Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, but described the “beautiful momemt” he shared with the Lions’ travelling fans.

A first-half goal from Emmanuel Latte Lath denied Harris the chance of a winning send-off, after the club’s record scorer announced last week that he would be stepping down from his second spell in charge.

Harris, who saw Macauley Langstaff and Femi Azeez miss good early chances, said: “It’s a little bit frustrating and it’s felt like groundhog day for all of us this week, because where we’ve fallen short over the last 10 months is that little bit of quality up front.”

Laughing off last week’s post-match comments, when he dubbed a section of Lions fans “thickos” for questioning his team selection, Harris greeted the final whistle by embracing his players in front of Millwall’s few hundred travelling supporters.
