Millwall are having a hard time of it during their second Championship campaign, sitting outside the bottom three on goal difference after 17 matches.

The international break is over, and they resume second-tier action this weekend when they face a vital relegation six-pointer at home to Bolton Wanderers.

Neil Harris’ men host Phil Parkinson’s team on Saturday with the visitors second bottom after a total collapse of their early season form.

The Lions had a mini-revival before the international break but threw away a 92nd-minute lead at Carrow Road last time out to lose 4-3 to league leaders Norwich.

And with the match so important this weekend, journalist John Kelly, a Millwall reporter, tweeted out an astonishing statistic that has made plenty of the Lions faithful let out a collective groan.

It was a stat that has caused many Millwall supporters to expect the worst this weekend with their club needing the three points just as much as their opponents.

With that said, here’s what the Lions fans had to stay upon reading this jinx-worthy statistic.
