After an appalling start to the season, the Lions are on the up and are on a 5-match unbeaten run. Lions manager Colin Lee told the BBC: "I do not like looking back but if we had not had the situation that we went through, we feel we would be closer to the play-offs," continued Lee "I have always been able to generate a happy working environment and we did not lose that through the bad period - that is down to a lot of help from staff as well as belief and commitment from players.
"The players never lost their enthusiasm to want to improve and that is why we were able to get the run going - but we have to continue to do that. Now the camp is a lot happier, things are a lot fresher in training, with more confidence," said the Millwall manager "It is nice to have an unbeaten run going but our target is a long way off."
Ahead of the match on Saturday, Lee added: "It is always hard for a team coming down from the Premiership, but they have won their last two games and seem to be heading in the right direction. In an ideal world we would have preferred to play them a couple of weeks ago, but we will go there confident we can continue our own good run.
"The team has responded well to the new players who have come in and we could have even picked up a few more points."
