Millwall assistant defends goalkeeper after Bristol City freak goal

Steve Davies gave the Robins the lead with a 30-yard header after David Forde’s headed clearance fell to him before Darius Henderson fired home another equaliser and the assistant defended the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper.

“The lads are disappointed. David Forde was unlucky with their goal because he took the right decision to come out,” said Gallen.

“It was amazing that the ball should drop to their lad with such pace that he was able to generate the power to head it in.

“But after that we showed a lot of character, scored a great goal ourselves and defended with a lot of tenacity.

“We are still waiting for our first clean sheet, but only conceding once is encouraging and the overall performance was excellent.”
