Rovers, who currently sit in comfortably in the play-off places, will start the game as firm favourites against a Millwall team that is struggling at the wrong end of the table after a run of poor results, including that 1-0 defeat after dominating much of the game. But the gaffer believes the Southend result could be the launch pad the club needs to steer their trouble ship into calmer waters.
"It was an excellent result for us on Tuesday," Jackett told the club's official website ahead of the game. "And I thought that in the second half we put in a very good performance. We are now going to Tranmere and then Huddersfield on Tuesday determined to build on that.
"Without a doubt, we have to be more solid and competitive in games away from The Den. Nottingham Forest last Saturday summed it up perfectly - we got halfway to where we wanted to be and then let in two sloppy goals from set-pieces.
"It's important that we deal with it when we are put under pressure, but we must also provide a threat up front. At times we have looked a bit limited going forward and we are capable of doing better than that away from home."
