Millwall boss Alex Neil says his side have to "play better" in their final game next week after they beat Swansea 1-0 to remain right in the hunt for a play-off spot.

The Lions' fifth victory in their past six games lifts them to to seventh, level on points with sixth-placed Coventry City.

"You could see there were a lot of nerves around the game. I don't think it helps that the other game plays before us, although in this instance it worked in our favour because we knew the [Coventry] result," Neil said.

"It's certainly not the best we have played. We know we can play better and we will need to play better next week if we want to try to give ourselves an opportunity.

"But what we do have is, we are always in every game, we give it everything we have got.

"I am really proud of the players for their efforts this season, but we have still got one to go."
