'Poor' players didn't take their chance - Harris
Neil Harris made eight changes to the side which was beaten 1-0 at home by Leyton Orient

Millwall boss Neil Harris said players "won't be knocking on my door" asking why they're not in the team on Saturday after their performances in the club's Carabao Cup defeat by Leyton Orient.
Dan Agyei's 14th-minute strike gave the League One side a 1-0 win at The Den to knock the home side out of the competition, with Harris making eight changes to the team who drew with Hull City at the weekend.
Millwall failed to register a shot on target in the match and Harris said he understood the home fans' frustration at the performance.
"They're going to be frustrated because they've paid their money to come and watch tonight, I understand that and no-one's more frustrated and disappointed than me," he told BBC Radio London.
"But they have to remember it is early, I've given people an opportunity and there is a clamour from the fans to play some players, and today people have had their opportunity and they didn't take it.
"I don't think there'll be many people knocking on my door on Friday once I've named my team for Saturday [against Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship]."
'We have one point but deserve five or seven'
Millwall have won one of their opening five matches this season - in the EFL Cup at Portsmouth - and are without a win in the Championship, losing at home to Watford, away to Bristol City and drawing 0-0 with Hull at the MKM Stadium.
The Lions fought back from 2-0 down against Watford and the Robins before conceding late goals and losing 3-2 and 4-3 respectively.
Harris believes the Lions' solitary point does not reflect their league form.
"We created more clear-cut chances than anyone in the first three league games," he added. "I thought we were poor tonight with the ball, we didn't create enough chances.
"We've had three really good league performances. We've only got one point, that's fact. But we've deserved five or seven.
"We've scored goals and we've created lots of chances, so that's the reaction I expect at the weekend."
