Millwall manager Gary Rowett speaks on ‘hurtful’ chants in their defeat to Norwich
Millwall manager Gary Rowett speaks on ‘hurtful’ chants aimed at him in their 3-1 defeat to Norwich City on Sunday afternoon.
Norwich kept up their impressive start to the new Championship campaign with the result leaving them sitting third in the table.
Jonathan Rowe opened the scoring, with Josh Sargent and Ashley Barnes extending their lead, with substitute Aidomo Emakhu getting a consolation for the travelling side.
The Canaries have now earned seven points from nine, behind only Leicester and Ipswich.
Millwall’s fans vented their frustration at Carrow Road. “If you are a fan you spend a lot of time and money on following your club and you can say what you want,” Rowett said afterwards.
“I understand they were frustrated with a poor performance but as a human being what they were saying about me is something I found disappointing and hurtful,” he added. “No one likes to hear things like that said about them but I have to take it on the chin. I suppose I would prefer them to take it out on me than the players.”
The game settled down towards the end, but the remaining Millwall fans in the away end made their feelings known.
“I am very pleased with the performance,” Wagner said. “We created many opportunities, scored some good goals and could have scored more. We were also solid at the back and showed the sort of fight you always have to have against a side like Millwall.
