Football's capacity to depress your weekend is unparalleled in the world of sport.

Certainly Millwall's frustrating home loss to Wrexham left a downbeat mood around the Millwall scene on Saturday and Sunday, ahead of the first international break of the season.

It would be tempting to put the 2-0 loss down to bad luck or poor refereeing, but the truth is that enough chances to score were created by the injury-hit Lions - they just weren't taken.

The Welsh visitors defended well enough to handle a Millwall forward line that has yet to score a goal at The Den in 180 minutes (more including additional time) of football.

Thankfully, our two wins have come on the road and in a very "Millwall" style at proverbial difficult places to go.

But finding a way to break down determined and well-organized visitors has to be the number one priority for Alex Neil and his team.

It's too early in the season to start calling "crisis" but the combination of an increasing number of injuries to key players and a toothless attack is making me more than a little itchy and scratchy.

Here's hoping new signings on deadline day and hopefully the return to fitness of some of the training ground casualties will ease my sense of discomfort.
