Millwall boss Neil Harris says club can thrive with their play-off rivals under pressure

Millwall manager Neil Harris says the lack of pressure on the Lions is helping their bid to gate-crash the Championship play-offs.

Seventh-placed Millwall are just one point outside the top six after they beat Bristol City 2-0 on Saturday to extend their unbeaten run to 15 matches.

The Lions have won eight of their last 10 games, have not lost at home since November and Harris wants to lead the club into the Premier League for the first time.

Millwall face Bolton away tomorrow and Harris said: “We have got everything to gain and very little to lose. We have had a terrific season. We are in a great position and we have ruffled the feathers of a lot of big clubs and we are enjoying it.

“Middlesbrough, Derby, Bristol City and Brentford think they should be in the play-offs. Villa and Fulham fans expect themselves to win promotion. We don’t expect anything.

“All I expect from my players is a desire and work ethic. What I do know is that if we did get in there, then we’d be a tough team to stop because it would be our third year in a row.”
