WR Flowers: Harbaugh's practices led to injuries
Zay Flowers claims Harbaugh's tough practices led to injuries for Ravens players.
Millwall manager Alex Neil believes their recent poor results don't reflect the team's performance this season, as they remain in contention for promotion. The Lions are just two points behind Ipswich and close to securing a playoff spot.
Millwall manager Alex Neil says their recent run of results is "not a fair reflection" of what the club has achieved in the Championship this season.
The Lions have won one of their past five games (D2 L2) and suffered back-to-back home league defeats for the first time since August in losses to Blackburn and Norwich.
But Millwall are just two points behind second-placed Ipswich - who have a game in hand - in the race for automatic promotion and are one win away from all but securing a second-tier play-off spot for the first time since 2002.
"The fact that we are where we are with four games to go, I think is a bigger reflection on how well the lads have done," Neil told BBC Radio London before welcoming QPR to The Den on Saturday.
"Do we want to be in really good form getting into these [final] four games? Absolutely. But I think as the Championship shows everyone, games are unpredictable."
Neil said there was "nothing to be negative about" and pointed to the fact Millwall have won 21 of their 42 league games this season, as well as recording their best points tally since their run to the play-offs 24 years ago.
"I think it's overwhelmingly positive for where we're sitting and how we're looking at the remaining matches," he said.
"The only team in the league that's won more games than us this year is the team that's going to win the title.
"So this whole 'who would you rather play? Are we in a bad spot? Do we need to fix home form?' I don't want to hear any of that. As far as we're concerned, we're in a really good spot."
Should Millwall fall short of the top two, Neil said competing in the play-offs would still be "a brilliant thing".
"There might be elation at the end of it, there might be disappointment, but that's why we're all involved," he added.
"Would you rather sit 12th and bore yourself to death in the remaining fixtures? No.
"So let's enjoy it, let's look forward to it, let's live in the moment, stop worrying about what might happen and let's get on with it and support each other."
Millwall is currently two points behind second-placed Ipswich in the Championship standings.
Millwall has won only one of their last five matches, with two draws and two losses.
Millwall is on the verge of securing a playoff spot for the first time since 2002.
