It just wasn't meant to be, says Jackett

Costly mistake: Neil Harris's penalty was saved
13 April 2012

Keny Jackett was left to rue a fine performance by Bournemouth goalkeeper David Forde and a stack of missed chances as

MILLWALL

Forde stopped a penalty from Neil Harris with the game goalless and manager Jackett said: "Their keeper had one of those days when he seemed to save everything. We were dominant, especially in the first half when we had so many free-kicks and corners. We hit the target and worked their keeper, but it wasn't to be our day." Millwall are just five points above fourth-from-bottom Gillingham, who they meet at The Den on Saturday.

Jackett said: "We had 15 players unavailable against Bournemouth and some may be back for Gillingham. I'll be eagerly checking the treatment room this week."

LEYTON ORIENT were accused of being unprofessional by Martin Ling after they threw away a half-time lead to lose 2-1 at bottom club Port Vale.

The boss said: "At the interval we gave out a few 'well dones', said it was a good 45 minutes and asked the lads to kick on again, but it didn't happen. We didn't do our job professionally enough and that gave them a lifeline. It's frustrating because we lost to a team we were far superior to."
