League One preview: Millwall

Last updated : 25 July 2008 By Iron-Bru.net
How did you fare last season?
We underachieved, in every sense of the word. Best moment was probably the 3-0 demolition of promotion-chasing Carlisle United that secured our status in League One. The worst was probably the first two months when we just seemed so pedestrian and relegation-bound.

How do you think you will do this season?
Mid-table, with maybe an outside chance of the play-offs. The manager Kenny Jackett has picked his new signings carefully but there's a lack of inexperience in the side and without a decent goalscorer I can't see us dominating games like we should.

What is your squad like?
The average age of the squad has been cut significantly, with Richard Shaw retiring and Dave Brammer about to leave. Jackett has also signed a load of youngsters which may work but could back-fire significantly on him.

Which youngster will make the biggest impression in your team this season?
We have so many that you can take your pick. Hopefully it will be Lewis Grabban - for the right reasons.

What's your manager like and will he still be there at the end of the season?
Millwall have had about six hundred managers in the last six seasons. The jury's still out on Kenny Jackett but if he is there at the end of it he'll be the first for a very long time.

Are you happy with your chairman/backroom staff?
Not really. We have millionaires galore on the board, none of them are interested in investing in the team, though.

Which team do you want to beat the most and why?
All of them. Then we'll go up. Failing that, Leeds United.

Predict your champions and runners-up, the four play-off teams and the four to go down
Champions: Peterborough United
Runners-up: Leeds United
Play-offs: Oldham Athletic, Leicester City, MK Dons Southend United Relegated: Colchester United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crewe Alexandra and probably Scunthorpe United (if you're still relying on Ben May to score your goals...)
