JACKETT WANTS FIGHT FROM MILLWALL
Millwall manager Kenny Jackett has told his players they must fight tooth-and-nail if they are to escape relegation from League One. His team posted a disappointing 3-0 defeat to second-placed Doncaster Rovers at the New Den on Saturday.
Jackett, who took the reins in early November, conceded it was the worst Millwall have played under his management. His team are now only one point above the drop zone with a hectic league schedule coming up.
He said: “Doncaster deserved the points – we never got going. We lacked the energy that we have been playing with recently. It was one game too far.
“We were second to the ball and unconstructive in possession. We couldn’t get hold of the ball or gain any breathing space.
“There were not many Millwall players who put their name on a starting shirt, and our performance level has to be better than that.
“We have Notts Forest, Southend and Tranmere within in eight days – it’s a period in which we have to come out fighting.”
