Alex Neil praised Millwall's attitude after his injury-hit side beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 thanks to Femi Azeez's goal to jump to fourth in the Championship.
The victory ends Millwall's run of four games without a win and Neil was delighted with his players' character.
He told BBC Radio London: "In the second half we created a lot of chances, they created one or two themselves, but over the piece I thought we deserved to win.
"These games are not easy - they're a tough team to play against and play with an element of freedom as they have nothing to lose, so we've then got to put a professional performance on and take the game away from them and eventually we did.
"We've won four out of five at home, we're fourth in the table with an injury list as long as my arm since the start of the season and it's just continued, so for the lads to be where they are, they deserve a huge amount of credit for that."
