Donachie: Fighting talk
Lions boss Willie Donachie has launched another broadside on his first-team squad and threatened to freeze out any player who fails to show the proper "passion and commitment" during games.

The attack comes less than three days after the manager criticised their attitude following The Lions FA Cup exit at the hands of Stoke City. On Friday night Donachie admitted that he expected to see "more bravery, passion and aggression from Millwall players" and vowed to bring in new blood in order to achieve his aim.

However, now he has gone a step further and threatened to get rid of anyone who under performs.

"If people do not give consistent, passionate performances, they will not be in the team," Donachie said. "They won't have a job - that is the bottom line."
