Millwall's journey towards Championship glory hit a stumbling block this past Saturday with a frustrating draw against Preston North End at home. The absence of our sharpshooter, Femi Azeez, was sorely felt, leaving us all too aware of our primary issue this season — we need more goals!
Despite creating a slew of chances, it was ultimately Preston's keeper, Daniel Iversen, whose blunder allowed Mihailo Ivanovic to level the score, marking one of the rare highs in a match that could've easily tipped in North End's favour towards the end. Ivanovic, grabbing just his second goal of the season, was a silver lining on a day otherwise filled with missed opportunities.
Post-match, our gaffer Alex Neil didn't mince his words, emphasising the need for a more clinical edge from the Lions. With only 17 goals to our tally this campaign, the route to securing a top-six finish and maintaining it seems daunting. Currently sitting sixth, our aspirations hang in balance, teetering on our ability to turn draws into victories.
Thankfully, the upcoming international break presents a silver lining. It's a much-needed respite for our squad, plagued by an extensive injury list. This break could be the pivotal moment for our Lions, providing our warriors with time to heal and roar back stronger. The ongoing question at The Den continues to revolve around our susceptibility to injuries, especially to key players who are pivotal to our play-off dreams.
As we head into the final international fixtures of the season, my message to the squad is simple: Get well soon, boys. We're all banking on a fully-fit Millwall team to make a strong push in the latter half of the season. Here's hoping that when we return, it'll be with a vengeance, ready to claw our way through the ranks and over those play-off lines!
Just to wrap this up on a lighter note, here’s a little joke for our rivals: How many Charlton fans does it take to change a light bulb? None! They're too busy living in the shadows of the mighty Millwall! Let's keep our heads high and our spirits higher — the Championship is still very much for the taking this season.
