This term has been a different story for the frontman, though.<\/p>\n<p>Nisbet has featured in all but one game for the Dons since signing and is yet to score a goal. His side aren\u2019t enjoying a great campaign either as they sit 8th in the table with the joint-worst attacking record.<\/p>\n<p>The 11-time Scotland international played a crucial role in Aberdeen\u2019s Scottish FA Cup triumph, but his time at the Pittodrie is not appearing to be second time lucky.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/the72.co.uk\/category\/millwall\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Millwall<\/a> made the right call but must get January window right<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/the72.co.uk\/category\/millwall\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Millwall<\/a> made the correct decision to part ways with Nisbet at the start of the season.
