'We'll give it to them' - Taylor on West Ham

Caleb Taylor says he cannot wait to arrive at The Den for the West Ham game [Getty Images] Defender Caleb Taylor says Millwall will "give it" to West Ham in what he expects to be a very intimidating atmosphere at The Den on Saturday. The hotly anticipated 12:30 BST kick-off is the first Dockers Derby since February 2012 and sees the Hammers arrive top of the Championship after four straight wins, while the Lions are four points back in 11th. Alex Neil has used 24 players in Millwall's opening seven league games as he juggles a lengthy injury list with 23-year-old centre back Taylor the only player to have played every minute so far. Taylor told the BBC's EFL 72+ podcast: "I can't wait. It was one of the first fixtures we saw when they came out and the lads are buzzing for it and excited. "We've had a lot of injuries at the start of the season which has not helped us, but the squad we have is still capable of getting a result. "You know what The Den's like, it's such a good atmosphere, everyone will be up for it, we'll give everything we've got to hopefully get a win." After back-to-back clean sheets to start the season, the Lions have conceded 13 across their past five league games, but Taylor is hoping to keep it tight against a West Ham side who have scored 16 goals in their past four. "Me and (Jake Cooper) have got a good partnership going, we've conceded a few goals recently which is unlike us," he added. "Saturday we'll try and be solid, they have some good players, come down from the Premier League, they have huge financial backing. We'll make it a good game and really give it to them. "Since I've been here the atmosphere at The Den has just been incredible. I can only imagine what it's going to be like on Saturday, it's going to be proper intimidating. I'm really looking forward to it." Millwall suffered play-off semi-final heartbreak against Hull City after finishing third last season, but Taylor credited Neil with helping his squad bounce back quickly. "Last season was really disappointing, even though it was such a great season, the way it ended," he said. "It was a massive hit for us but the gaffer is so good mentally he's turned us around and got us thinking forward - this season we're hoping to build on it and hopefully do better."
