Millwall boss Harris: We have not been as defensively strong as last season – three of Norwich’s goals were really poor from us
BY RICHARD CAWLEY
Neil Harris reckoned at least three of Norwich City’s goals in Saturday’s dramatic defeat at Carrow Road were avoidable.
The Lions are not back in action until November 24 due to the international break – a huge game against 23rd-placed Bolton Wanderers.
Their 4-3 reverse at Carrow Road sees them only outside the Championship drop zone on goal difference.
Harris said: “What does the [next] two weeks hold for us? Hard work on the training pitch. Going into the last international break we had a disappointing run of results and worked extremely hard to come out firing – we picked up 10 points from five games.
“It’s clear to see on the back of today…defensive duties definitely [need] improving.
“We are what we are at this level. We are where we probably should be, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to be better. The group want to be better. We were better last year defensively than we have been so far.
“We have to get back to that mindset of not conceding goals and certainly not conceding poor goals.
“If they are going to put in the second goal from 22 yards into the bottom corner, no problem with that – that’s the level we’re playing at.
“But the three other goals we conceded were extremely poor.”
