Millwall having to 'tinker' to get results - Neil
- Published
Millwall have had to change their approach to games while dealing with a number of injuries in the squad, says head coach Alex Neil.
The Lions picked up their first home win of the season in the Championship by beating Watford 1-0 on Monday but Neil feels if he had his full squad to choose from they would be higher in the table than their current 10th place.
"The only frustration is with a fuller squad we'd have even more points on the board - we'd certainly be more creative in the final third," he told BBC Radio London.
"Leading up to the Watford game you could sense a little bit of frustration and everything seemed a little down but since that game the training ground has felt a different place - but nothing has changed apart from getting those three points."
Midfielder Billy Mitchell and striker Mihailo Ivanovic are set to return to the squad for Saturday's trip to Swansea (12:30 BST) and Neil thinks having to make so many changes already this season has shown the Lions can be flexible in their approach.
"We've tinkered with some things in terms of changing shape so there have been little tweaks we've had to make to ensure, with the guys coming into the team, we play to their strengths," added Neil.
"The lads have been brilliant in terms of the ones that have been called into the team to play prominent roles and still get us results."
