Pre season is underway for the Lions and new boss Klopas

Millwall faced off against Forest Green Rovers in the first game of their pre season. New manager Frank Klopas took his side to the New Lawn in front of a mere 2,000, somewhat of a culture shock for the American given the large numbers and passionate crowds in the MLS.
Despite the clear gulf in quality between the two sides, Milllwall took a while to get up and running, but admittedly the Lions were playing a second string line up. The London club opened the scoring early in the second half through Rob Hulse and made it two later on with a Dany N'Guessan header. Both players were delighted with their contributions, as they look more likely to be bit part players next year. Hulse said afterwards:
"I think it'll be tough this year, there will be new faces, and I think the more experienced players will be let go, so I don't know if I'll stay at the Den much longer. Today I think I played well, I put in a good cross for the 2nd, and bagged a great goal too. I know it's not the most difficult of oppositions, but you can only beat what's in front of you."
