• Neil Harris does not expect to 'fix everything' in one transfer window as he sets expectations for next season.
• Harris played down the automatic return of Millwall to challenging for the playoffs.
• Despite recent form, there is still plenty of work to do to get the Lions back on track.

The form over the last twelve games may have left some fans hoping Millwall can return to challenging for the playoffs as they did in most of the recent seasons under Gary Rowett. However, Neil Harris has warned that there is still plenty of work ahead.

Harris acknowledged that this season has been difficult due to various factors such as losing out on transfers and changes in coaching staff. He emphasized that it would be unrealistic to expect a complete turnaround with just one transfer window and stressed the need for patience.

In an interview with NewsAtDen, Harris expressed his gratitude towards Jimmy Berylson's family but also highlighted how losing John Berylson had affected stability at the club. Despite acknowledging past success, he stated that current circumstances demand appreciation and understanding before moving forward.

'You can't just go into one transfer window and expect to fix everything... The football club has always been at its best with an underdog status.'

Harris made it clear that strengthening during summer transfers is crucial if Millwall wants progress. He emphasized finding balance within their squad by retaining players who want to stay while allowing those seeking new opportunities elsewhere.
While preparing for preseason, Harris aims at building momentum from their recent successes into next season:

'That gives you [the team] the best opportunity on August 10th to start well and then carry that momentum... into next season.'

If Millwall secures a victory against Swansea, it will mark five consecutive wins. Harris hopes to reward the traveling fans with an impressive performance while building excitement for the future.

'There's optimism and momentum straight away. They've been crying out to see a Millwall team for a period now and they're seeing one, that's the momentum we can carry forward.'

The conclusion of this season is seen as just the beginning of Millwall's journey towards improvement under Neil Harris' guidance. With realistic expectations set, both players and fans eagerly await what lies ahead in their pursuit of success.
