Price is right for Lions

Jason Price enjoyed a memorable debut for Millwall as the Lions kept up the pressure on the top two at Gresty Road.
The on-loan Doncaster striker coolly lifted the ball over Crewe keeper John Ruddy two minutes into stoppage time to secure a sixth straight win for Kenny Jackett's men, who are still eyeing a place in the top two.
Jackett said: "A lot of things can still happen in this promotion race and we still have a chance.
There are seven games left and we have to approach each game with the attitude of getting as much as we can."
Unfortunately the game was overshadowed by a nasty looking injury to Neil Harris, who appeared to collapse as he was led off the field after an accidental clash just before half-time.
Tom Pope spurned a good chance for Crewe, crashing a drive into Lions keeper David Forde, who had just saved from Gyifi Sigurdsson before Price fired his goal.
Crewe boss Gudjon Thordarson said: "It's cruel when you concede a goal in the final minute. You have no chance to regroup."

The Sun

He's our wonder-wall

What price Jason? If you are a Millwall fan, the answer must be.....priceless.
Step forward Jason Price, signed on loan from Doncaster Rovers last week, whose added-time winner could make all the difference between automatic promotion and the stress and strain of the play-offs.
The home fans, remembering Price for the goals he has scored against their team over the years, booed him the moment he replaced broken-nose victim Neil Harris.
Price injected some injected some pace and menace into Millwall's attack before cashing in with the winner after John Ruddy failed to hold a shot from Dave Martin.
And he insisted: "The abuse does not bother me. I cannot remember how many goals I have scored against Crewe during my career - maybe four or five - but this one was a bit special for the lads.
It was a crucial three points and I am just so pleased I scored the winner."
Millwall should have been home and dry before Price's dramatic late striker. They outmuscled a young but spirited Crewe side.
Boss Kenny Jackett said: "We are on a very good run yet it looked as though this was the day it would not happen.
It is fantastic to be in this position after fighting relegation a year ago."
Crewe chief Gudjon Thordarson believes his side can beat the drop.
He said: "We could have dealt with Millwall's goal better but they are a strong, organised side.
It's a setback but we need to concentrate on the remaining games against teams around us."
