Jackett: Relegation fears
There's no escaping the fact that Millwall have a relegation dog-fight on their hands and manager Kenny Jackett is well aware of the consequences should The Lions fail to win at home again this evening when they take on Southend United.

Millwall have managed just a solitary point at home from their last three games at The Den, losing to the Rovers of Tranmere and Doncaster and throwing away a two-goal lead against Nottingham Forest, and slipped back into the bottom four after Saturday's defeat away to Forest at the weekend.

"It's disappointing to be in the relegation zone, but this is a position we are capable of getting out of," Jackett told the club's official site. "The games are there for us to win and we must be passionate and enthusiastic in our approach; try to play quality attacking football that can take us up the league.

"I am looking for the supporters to get right behind the team and back them all of the way. In our current situation we need everyone to be positive and strong between now and the end of the season."
