Millwall heading into play-offs with confidence
Fan writer Nick Hart on why there is cause to be optimistic for their upcoming Championship play-off semi-final against Hull City.
[BBC] [Getty Images] So the play-offs it is then… Last Saturday's routine 2-0 win over an already-relegated Oxford United was as much as the Lions could do in their chase for the final automatic promotion spot. But in truth, it was always Ipswich Town's to lose - and the Tractor Boys were too good a side to allow the prize to slip from their grasp. Two terrific goals from talisman Femi Azeez were enough, however, to seal the points, securing Millwall's highest league finish since 1993-94.
The Lions will approach their first Championship play-offs in 25 years with a largely fit squad, a highly experienced manager in Alex Neil and players such as Camiel Neghli and Azeez in great form. There's every reason to feel confident going into the double-header versus Hull City and overall, this has been a tremendous season that has exceeded all expectations. Is there still a story to tell about the 2025-26 campaign?
