Swindon 1 Millwall 2
Town fans angry at Malpas as poor home form continues
Coca-Cola League One
RESULT: Swindon Town 1 Millwall 2
Town scorer: J Smith 48
Millwall scorers: Easter 24, Grabban 75
Town fans vented their frustration after this defeat - and nearly all of it was targeted at manager Maurice Malpas.
"It's just not good enough," said one, "and I have to question whether the manager is up to the job. It's that simple."
"We need a change in manager. And we need it now before it's too late," said another.
The general concensus coming after Swindon put in another lacklustre performance, and were punished by a Millwall side hardly better.
Jermaine Easter causing the damage in a forgettable first-half when slotting home from six yards after 23 minutes.
Jack Smith then luckily curled in a shot cum cross just after the break to give the already frustrated home fans some cause for hope - and a brief Town offensive to cheer.
But when Millwall weathered that, and then scored again on 75 minutes through Lewis Grabbage, the boos started.
The game ended in controversy when goalscorer Easter was sent-off in the dying minutes for a second bookable offence.
A decision that brought an angry reaction from Millwall manager Kenny Jackett.
