Millwall boss Kenny Jackett called for steps to be taken after the violence which marred their 3-1 Carling Cup defeat at West Ham. A man was stabbed near the stadium while ugly clashes between fans and West Ham supporters spilled onto the Upton Park pitch three times. Jackett said: "I didn't fear for my own safety. "There were no Millwall fans on the pitch. They stayed where they were supposed to. "There were a lot of people on the pitch. The lads gathered together and came to the sides, as they should have. "I wasn't aware of the stabbing outside the ground. I'm very sad to hear that. We've got a passionate game in this country, but when it oversteps the mark then things have to be done."
