We definitely don't seem to have an issue with scoring goals this season, which I don't think, probably as a Millwall fan, we ever thought we'd be saying that.
4:32
No, I mean, if you look at the games, really, we could have had more goals as well.
4:38
Against Norwich, we're one off the post, one off the line, one ruled out.
4:47
You know, could have scored a few more at Bristol as well.
4:50
So, it's been...
4:52
It's been really good to have started with so much confidence.
4:56
And I think Alex Newell's driven that into them, hasn't he? You know, be confident, go out there, create the chances.

And I think that's what we've probably not necessarily had We look at the team now and there's probably three or four potential captains in that team who can control all over the pitch, which I think we've probably been missing.
42:38
Um, just in terms of Saturday, how are they gonna, you know, approach the game? Are they gonna be, like, on the, the front foot? 'Cause they're gonna obviously fancy it.
42:44
Oh, 100%.
42:44
Listen, um, you look at Alex Neil, he goes into every game to win.
42:49
Uh, that's one thing that since he's walked through the door, every game he's gone to win.
42:55
If, if it's worked, it's worked.
42:57
If it hasn't, it hasn't.
42:58
Like Wycombe, for instance, he went to try and win it, didn't work.
43:36
Mm
52:32
What was your experience then of meeting the families? Uh, what did you kind of learn about what they'd been through throughout the time since, since the incident up until now?
52:41
I was really struck by, um, how close a lot of these families were and how supportive they were, um, of their kind of loved ones, um, that were in prison.
52:53
Um, and I was really struck to hear about their personal journeys of kind of going from be- you know, being family members, being, like, the parents of someone to being, um, almost an activist in their own right, kind of campaigning and, um, making speeches in public and going to demonstrations.
53:16
Um, you know, I think a lot of these family members, uh, were taken out of their comfort zone via this, and they really, like, rose to the challenge.
53:24
Um, but I was also struck by how, um, impacted, um, these families had been, um, by things like the, like the violent house raids and stuff.
53:36
Um, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't only the defendants that were affected by that.
53:40
Um, they, they had, like, you know, one family had younger, younger children, um, handcuffed, um, by the, by the, um, counter-terror police and stuff like that.
56:22
And what would you like people who watch your film to take away from it?
