5 top signings

5- maik Taylor

With the lions struggling for results and main goalie David Forde suffering from a crisis of confidence. Kenny jackett sought for a strong replacement and quick. Not many, if any fans thought this would come in the frame of 40-year-old maik Taylor from Leeds united. To say he was thrown in the deep end would be a understatement as he's debut was against table toppers Southampton at the den, two penalty's in the last 5 minutes gave the lions a undeserved defeat, but things would get better for Taylor. With each game played Taylor got better and better, the northern Irish international kept 6 clean sheets in the 10 games played for the lions. Taylor proved with age came experience, he was a calming influence of the defense, having a goalkeeper they could trust lead the foundations for the lion’s survival. Somehow Taylor got even better with two penalty saves in two games, first from Gary Mcsheffery at Coventry city then from Grant leadbitter at Ipswich. He saw he great performances recognized by being nominated for player of the month award in April. With the season over and Taylor's contract up at Leeds, three words KJ. Sign.him.up.

4-Shane Lowry

Shane Lowry was brought in from Aston villa on loan during a desperate time for the lions trying to sure up their defense. Centre half Shane joined The Lions on loan in November along with fellow Aston Villa youngster Nathan Baker. Lowry made a big impression then fellow loaned baker with his strong, committed performances, just what a lions Centre back needs in his game. Lowry's performances got better in each game, and I'm sure lions fans will not forget the great tackle on Dave Kitson at the den on boxing day which saw him earn a standing ovation from the dockers stand. Kenny jackett liked Lowry's performances so much he was signed permanently on a two year deal in January, Lowry went on to play 23 games this season for the lions and scored his first goal in a one nil at Coventry in April.

3 Harry Kane

Harry Kane came into the lion’s den on January 1st a boy; he left at the end of the season as a man. On 1 January 2012, Kane and Tottenham teammate Ryan Mason joined on loan until the end of the season. Kane made his debut in the one nil defeat at Bristol city leaving the lions only two points clear of the drop zone. The spurs loanee scored his first goal for the lions against Dagenham and redbridge in the third round replay, which saw him combine well with strike-partner darius Henderson, but how good this partnership was it was nothing to compare with his partnership with Andy Keogh. The striker pair scored 17 goals between them with 5 games in which they both scored. Kane scored 9 goals in 27 games and ended his loan at the den in style with a great strike to earn a draw to promotion hunting Blackpool. If the lions could get him again next season in anyway, watch out championship defenders, he's coming for you.

2- darius Henderson

Henderson was brought to the den in the summer in order to fill a large welsh hole left by Steve Morison who left for Norwich City. Few lion’s fans thought he would be the answer due to his before of injury, would he able to stay fit for the majority of the campaign? He got his season off to the best start by scoring 2 in the first 2 league games, including a magnificent back heel against Forest. There was an underlining factor the start of the season. When Henderson doesn't score, neither did Millwall. But he endeared to himself to the lions fans by scoring a hat trick against the moneybags of Leicester city. Henderson went on to score 3 hat-tricks this season with one against Dagenham and redbridge, then 4 days later at Barnsley, which saw him adopt the name "hulk hendo" well just look at him, you wouldn't wanna mess with him, might break your jaw or something.... Henderson ended the season as 'wall's top scorer with 19 goals, a target he will hopefully reach again next season.

1-Andy Keogh

 Andy by name, certainly Andy by nature. And Keogh signed for the lions on transfer deadline day from Wolverhampton wanderers. He was KJ's number one striker to fire the lions to survive up the table. He's debut came at Upton Park in the undeserved defeat against West Ham, nothing like a baptism of fire to get you started! Keogh opened his Millwall account with a cool finish at Brighton then scored his second at turf moor to earn the lions a 3-1 wins over Burnley. The Burnley goal started a run of 3 in 3 games for Keogh including his first at the den in a 2-1 defeat by champions Reading. Despite not scoring every game the Irishmen was putting in good, strong performances for the lions. The introduction of the partnership of Kane and Keogh went on leaps and bounds till the end of the season. Keogh ended the season with 4 goals in the final 4 games, including a confident penalty against Leicester, Robin Van-Persie? Eat your heart out. The Irishman scored 10 in 19 games for the lions, which will hopefully secure him a part of the EIRE euro 2012 squad.
