Millwall doing it the hard way - Neil

If Millwall reach the Championship play-offs they will have done it the hard way, according to head coach Alex Neil.
The Lions beat Swansea 1-0 at the weekend which means only goal difference is keeping them out of the top six heading into their final game of the campaign at already-promoted Burnley on Saturday (12:30 BST).
A Millwall win at Turf Moor on Saturday would be enough to claim a play-off spot if Coventry fail to beat Middlesbrough.
"With the run of fixtures we've had we've done it the hard way getting to this point," Neil told BBC Radio London.
"I don't think anyone would rule us out but we know it's going to be a tough task but one we're looking forward to."
Millwall have won five of their past six games, including victories against fellow promotion hopefuls Sheffield United and Middlesbrough and Neil is encouraged with how his players have been handling the run-in.
"You meet the fans in the week and they say 'this is where we normally fall short' but we certainly didn't (against Swansea) so that's a nice a feeling and we've got a big one where we'll need as much backing as we can get and we'll do our best," he added.
