Think that might be the club the way they are going. I like Adams as a manager but i'm not sure he's got the time to turn them around this season, although its very close near the bottom as well so there's always a chance.
Still extremely close at the top! All the teams in the top 6 still picking up valuable points and Leicester are closer again now.
Got some big games between now and the end of the season. Cardiff and Forest both have games mid week which could alter the face of the table depending on results.
Still think this is going to go down to the wire!
Didn't make it up to Bramall lane Saturday, was hoping for 3 points to stay in touch with the top six but was lucky to take a point in the end.Still extremely close at the top! All the teams in the top 6 still picking up valuable points and Leicester are closer again now.

Will be going to Boro at home next week hopefully and after that we have five of the top six teams, all but Norwich, down at The Den.
Should make the run in interesting.

I hope you do us a favour and win 2 or 3. Its is tight as at the top, point yesterday between Forest and QPR probably the best result. Crazy the amount of late goals Saturday, but i was happy, just wish we could get a few more goals in the first 90 minutes...
I was only thinking the other day how many 90+ goals you lot are getting. Was well gutted the other week when we were worth atleast a point at your place. Still that's football and I was relieved the other week when the Lions hit a 90+ winner against Doncaster and then again at Sheff on Saturday.Personally think the top six are more or less shaped now as teams below will soon run out of games, barring a fantastic run by someone, which looks likely from Leciester at the moment.

Seem to remember the Lions snatching a point against us at the den back in October time i think after we'd been the better team, as you say thats football. The thing with Norwich is that they are such a fit team. They really are still going a at full pelt til the 90th minute. Think i read we've got 8 or 9 goals in the last 10 mins plus injury time. 2 or 3 over th course of a season would suggest luck, but 8 or 9 shows the beleif and determination and the never-say-die attitude that is needed to get out of this league.
Man for man and on paper, Norwich are not a top 6 team, but they've made up for it with determination and commitment. We've had a bit of luck and the rub of the green on more than one occasion this season, but i kind of think you earn that.
I also think that Paul Lambert and Ian Culverhouse have done an amazing job with the players, both mentally, physically and also coached them to become better players. I've said it before and i'll say it again, Lambert WILL be a premiership manager by the start of 2013/14 season. He clearly learnt a lot from Martin O'Niell and is even trying to dress like him...
Heres hoping Holt can pop up with a 93rd minute winner at Elland road on Saturday
No doubt about it, Lambert and Culverhouse have done a good job. Mind you looking at the three promoted clubs, they all have youngish managers that seem settled with their clubs and are getting the best from the squad of players in hand.Man for man and on paper, Norwich are not a top 6 team, but they've made up for it with determination and commitment.

Agreed, i dont like to say it, but Grayson is doing a good job on a fairly limited budget at Leeds and Jackett too, i think you'll agree has done very well on a limited budget at Millwall. To be fair, i reckon Norwich must've spent somewhere around 2.5 mil on players since about January 2010, players like Mcnamee, Russell Martin, Crofts (who's been sensational this season) Surman, Barnett, Ruddy, Jackson, Fox (we had a 7 figure bid rejected for Bennett of Brighton too)... but we badly needed that investment in the squad, but even so, to get the unity and team spirit back is something a little bit special. I cant see where Leeds or Millwall have spent anywhere near that amount, and at the start of the season, i'm sure all 3 sets of fans would've been more than happy to have a top half finish, but for all 3 to still be in with a realistic chance of play-off/promotion at this stage of the season is a real credit to the coaching staff of all 3 clubs.
So far Millwall have spent in the region of £1.25 million, with the most expensive signing Josh McQuoid from Bournemouth for around 550,000. The good thing is, for once we have a solid Chairman in John Berylson, who doesn't mind putting his hand in his pocket and we don't have to sell.I'm well made up with our position considering for the last month or two we've had a never ending injury list. I would have taken 9th place and consolidation at the begining of the season, but to be there when we've had so many injuries is a bonus. Should be getting most our players back ready for the run-in and some decent home games.

Always a difficult game regardless of form, especially with Jackett being an ex swans boss. With city's recent displays, it's definitely a game we need 3 points from, so it'll be interesting to say the least!
Midday kick off next Saturday isn't it?
This game kicks off at 3pm now it's staying light later. Swans and Leeds still to play at our place too.Midday kick off next Saturday isn't it?
horpe. All we need now is for Palace to return the favour and turn Forest over.Summing up Millwall's season. A good first one back and better than I expected at 9th. That should give most of our squad their first years experience at that level, all we need to do now is build slowly and consolidate. Well done Kenny Jackett for turning us around and making the last few seasons an enjoyable experience. Next season's season ticket is already paid for and is a 'touch' at £320.

Reckon you'll keep Morrison? Norwich have been rumourer to be after him and supposedly Fulham made a bid of around 2.5 - 3mil. Dont think Milwall are in a position to turn that sort of money down. Been a good season for your lot and Jackett has done an excellent job.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfK-WX2pa8c

We are in no hurry to sell Morison, we don't need the money these days, however if he wants to leave, he's free to do so for the right price.
Times have never been better.
