Millwall defender will be supporting from sidelines in Crystal Palace FA Cup clash

Tristan Crama will be fully backing his Millwall side from the sidelines for their South London FA Cup clash at Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The centre-back is cup-tied, having played in the first, second and third round on loan at Exeter at the start of the season.

Millwall have sold out their away allocation at Selhurst Park, with a spot in the last 16 up for grabs for the winner.

“I’m aware,” Crama told MillwallTV of the rivalry.

“I can’t play in it, but I will be behind the boys.

“I wish them good luck for the game.”

Josh Coburn scored late on at Derby on Saturday to secure all three points for Alex Neil’s side.

“If we could win two or three nil, it would be good, but football is tough away from home,” added Crama.

“But scoring a last-minute goal, there is nothing better in football. 

“We were more in control in the game, but we knew they were going to be on the front foot with it being the first game at home under the new gaffer.

“We said before the game that 70 per cent of it would be a battle, so we just had to win them and we would have a chance to score.

“I’m really happy.”
