Neil Harris bemoans 'disappointing' defeat as Millwall slip closer to League One

Neil Harris admits that Millwall are in a "difficult position" following their fifth defeat on the spin, which left themselves nine points from Championship safety.

Millwall boss Neil Harris has insisted that he will focus on the positives after watching his side slip one step closer to relegation from the Championship.

The Lions fell 2-0 against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon to see their losing run stretch to five league games courtesy of Adam Le Fondre's first-half double.

Nine points is now the gap that Millwall must make up if they are to remain in the division for another season, but, with just nine games left to play, Harris admits that he has his work cut out.

"I am disappointed we lost but there were plenty of positives, including the chances we created and the manner in which we had a right good go in the second half," he is quoted as saying by London24. "The difference was Adam Le Fondre scoring two good goals. The moves to get them in were really good and both hit the target but certainly one of them should have gone in the net.

"We are in a difficult position and there are no promises from anyone in the dressing room as to what we are going to do between now and the end of the season. The target is to win games and see where it takes us. We can try and improve in every game we play.

"Yes we are looking at a nine-game season but the bigger future for the club is we have to compete and play in the right manner. It's been a mad few days for me but it has been made easier to enjoy it because of the attitude of the players. So I am gutted for them because on possession and chances I thought we were the best team."

Millwall return to action in midweek when they play host to Brighton & Hove Albion.
