"I would say that's probably a stretch, as we sit here today. They've got an incredible opportunity to be a Premier League team next season, but I think it'll be probably a case of doing it via the play-offs. This is the most complete Millwall squad I can think of in recent memory. You've got the experience of [Jake] Cooper and Billy Mitchell, who have been there a long time, but there is now so much more control and quality across a variety of positions."
"The way they've had success is by being really tough to play against at the Den, being physical at set-pieces, and they can still do all that, but there are many more facets to their game. It was the stand-out result of the day, because it gives them a six-point buffer over Wrexham and Preston. They're sitting pretty, and they've got a real opportunity to achieve something special."
Millwall recorded an impressive 2-0 away win at Wrexham, creating a gap between themselves and the chasing pack. The club sits five points behind the top two but enjoys a six-point buffer over Wrexham and Preston. The squad combines long-serving experience from Jake Cooper and Billy Mitchell with additions such as Caleb Taylor, Barry Bannan, Femi Azeez, Anthony Patterson and Tommy Watson. The team retains traditional physical strength at the Den and on set-pieces while adding greater control, quality and guile across midfield and attacking positions. The balance of toughness and added facets makes a play-off route to the Premier League the likeliest path.
