'Neil has brought new energy to Millwall'
[Getty Images] Millwall's quest to find a late-season play-off spot proved in the end to be a game too far at Turf Moor on Saturday. In many ways this was a magnificent performance by the Lions, who gave everything to find the win they needed to make the top six. Advertisement But a second half of relentless Burnley pressure proved, in the end, to be too much for the injury-hit Londoners, who were left to rue sloppy defending almost from the kick-off following Mihailo Ivanovic's top-quality finish on 10 minutes, allowing the Clarets straight back into the game having put them on the back foot. Follow that with Josh Coburn's howler in front of an open goal on 35 minutes and it was self-inflicted errors that probably sealed Millwall's fate, as chances like that simply can't be missed at this level. Harsh, but true. Overall, Burnley were worthy winners on the day, though the Lions will be looking forward in anticipation to the 2025-26 campaign already. Advertisement I know I am. Since his arrival in January, gaffer Alex Neil has brought in new energy and attacking zeal, which teamed with the club's emphasis on youth development augurs well next season. Roll on August!

Norwich win 'one of the best' says Neil
Millwall manager Alex Neil has claimed his side's 3-1 win over Norwich City has been 'one of the best' since his appointment at The goals from Mihailo Ivanovic either side of Femi Azeez's header were enough for the Londoners to steer past the Canaries as they push to get into the play off places."I think regardless of the other results I think it was a brilliant performance," Neil told BBC Radio London after the match. "I'd probably say it's up there as one of the best performances I've had since I've been here."I thought we were really aggressive, we created so many chances in the game. We scored three but we probably could've scored more."I thought defensively we were sound throughout the match. We've got a debutant at left back, we've got a young goalkeeper and I thought both of them were excellent as well."All in all, a great day at The Den if you take into consideration the results. I don't think we could've hoped for much more."

'Lady Luck smiled on us - hope she sticks around'
You can't beat a last-gasp winner, can you?So Mihailo Ivanovic's 93rd-minute penalty certainly sent most of the 16,000 fans at The Den home unexpectedly in truth, Saturday's tussle with Stoke had been a dull that probably favoured the Potters in terms of the best chances, so there was a strong sense of Lady Luck smiling on the Lions with that late spot-kick decision by referee Andy for the penalty strike itself, praise is due for Millwall's young Serbian for keeping his cool and powering the ball into the top right despite some mind games from the opponents, so well played Miha - forget your 'Panenka' merchants, that's how we like our penalties taken in South three points keep the Lions' season alive going into the international the top six is still six points off, with plenty of clubs between us and West Bromwich maybe Lady Luck can be persuaded to not just to smile on Millwall, but roll around on the floor laughing her head off at the prospect of the Lions making the play-offs?Find more from Nick Hart on Achtung!

Millwall break transfer record for winger Neghli
Millwall have broken their club record fee to sign Sparta Rotterdam winger Camiel 23-year-old Dutch-born Algerian Under-20 international's fee is greater than the reported £2.8m Millwall spent on Mihailo Ivanovic last summer. Neghli moved to Sparta from De Graafschap in the summer of 2023 and has scored 10 goals in 47 league appearances for the Rotterdam side. "I'm over the moon to welcome Camiel to the club," Millwall's director of football Steve Gallen told the club website, external."We've been monitoring him for a long time and believe he's the right type of player to add real quality to the side."He has demonstrated the ability to not only operate as a right-winger, but also pose a threat in the number 10 role. "He's quick, dynamic, and whilst naturally left-footed, he's not afraid to shoot and score goals with both feet."
