Millwall boss still happy with form despite setback at Barnsley

“It was a run we had to work incredibly hard for.

“Today, again, to keep an unbeaten run like that going you’ve got to be perfect every week and we certainly weren’t.

“We go again. We’ve got to dig in and see if we can go on another run again.

Millwall head into another two game week with Preston and Blackburn to come at The Den tomorrow and Saturday respectively and despite the gap to the top now being nine points the Lions chief is still looking up.

“We want to look up. Games like today are almost defining for both teams to see if you can step on again.

“People talk about how well Barnsley have done but if we’d beaten them today we would have gone level on points with them.

“We’re pleased with where we are, but we need a little bit more. Sometimes if you don’t make those moments in the game go your way you’re left wanting in terms of trying to chase some of the bigger boys up there.”
