The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Euan Walsh argues that Millwall manager Alex Neil should retain the club's trust despite a troubled start to the Championship campaign. The Lions currently sit 16th in the table following back-to-back 3-0 losses, having secured only three league wins since August against teams in the bottom seven.

Walsh points out that Neil has dealt with severe injury problems, including losing over 14 players early on and missing key goalkeepers Lukas Jensen and Filip Marschall. The writer notes that integrating raw summer signings takes time and Neil's record of 46 wins in 96 matches warrants patience.
