As the Championship promotion race intensifies, Millwall manager Alex Neil is encouraging his team to approach the challenge with 'zero fear'. The Lions are currently third in the league with four games remaining and can move up to second place with a win over QPR on Saturday. A victory would also secure a play-off spot if Wrexham fails to beat Stoke.
Despite recent ups and downs, including a win over Middlesbrough and a loss to Norwich, Neil believes the team should embrace the situation and give it their all. 'You never know when this opportunity will come again, so make sure to enjoy every moment and give it your best shot,' he said. Neil, who has experience with play-off promotions from his time at Norwich and Sunderland, emphasized the importance of maintaining a balance between passion and composure.
'We should have zero fear and give everything we've got,' he stated. With the club on the verge of their first play-off appearance since 2002, Neil is keen to keep things in perspective, highlighting that the team has already given fans one of the best seasons in decades.
While automatic promotion is the ultimate goal, Neil is adamant that the play-offs are a valuable opportunity for the team to fight for a spot in the top tier.
