MILLWALL HELD FIRM in the League One play-offs to defeat Bradford City 4-2 on aggregate after a 1-1 draw in tonight’s second leg at The Den.

Steve Morison beat two Bradford defenders and laid it off for Gregory to calmly side-foot into the bottom corner from 18 yards and make it 20 league strikes this season having also netted in the opening game.
Hopes of a comeback from the visitors were briefly raised when Jamie Proctor converted Kyel Reid’s cross at the second attempt just before half-time, but they did not make up any further ground.
Millwall were relegated from the Championship last season after a five-year spell in that division and are hoping to bounce back at the first attempt.
Bradford have not played in the second tier since 2004 and now face a fourth consecutive campaign in League One.
