Neil Harris, the manager of Millwall, is eager for the Lions to put themselves to the test against one of the top teams in the Championship before their Sunday home matchup with Burnley.
With just five goals given up in twelve games and just one league loss this season, the Clarets are in second place in the standings and have the best defensive record in the division.
They have played very well lately. Burnley has only given up one goal in their last six games and is presently on a nine-game winning streak.
Harris listed a number of crucial elements that, in his opinion, will determine the outcome.
“We need to have great discipline and shape,” Harris stated. “The Burnley team is a dominant force in football.”
At this level, they have some amazing players who move flawlessly from box to box with good rhythm and quality.
Therefore, we will need to have excellent discipline, organisation, and pressing triggers. Our goal is to be a strong Millwall team at home, influence the game, and exert as much of an influence as we can. attempting to ensure Burnley has the football in the desired location.
However, when our opportunities arise, we make sure to be neat when in control, aggressive when entering forward areas, make excellent decisions when using the ball, and clinical when the time is right.
“We must ensure that we are the superior team on the pitch during those three situations, whether they arise from transitions, open plays, or set plays.
We anticipate that Burnley and Leeds will present a true test throughout the next ninety-six hours of football at The Den. That is the purpose of this football team.
We’re the underdog fighting against two elite clubs at this level, and it’s when the supporters get out in force and adore supporting the squad. Burnley simply because of where they’ve been playing Premier League football for the past ten seasons, and Leeds because of the club’s size. We want to establish ourselves and achieve it as a team, because there are now two enormous clubs at this level with excellent players.
“There will be tough times and we’ll need the supporters to support us, but there will also hopefully be some truly great times for us. We want the stadium to come together and support us.” The supporters will support us at that point as well.
Therefore, I think it’s a fantastic chance for us to assess our current situation and play against the top two of the league’s top three teams.
