Millwall opinion: Unity has taken Lions into wonderful position

Not only did Tuesday night's convincing 3-1 win at Stoke City put the Lions into the end-of-season promotion play-offs for the first time at Championship level in 25 years, it also keeps us in the hunt for the glittering prize of automatic promotion via second place.

What an achievement by Alex Neil and this hugely resilient squad.

The rise of young players like Derek Mazou-Sacko, Camiel Neghli and Josh Coburn is in the best traditions of Millwall FC.

Add in the experience of Jake Cooper, Tristan Crama and the talent of Femi Azeez, this is a heady mix for Millwall fans to enjoy.

If there is one factor beyond all else that has got us into this wonderful position, I would say that there is a sense of unity throughout the players, management and fans.

A unity that may yet generate more stories from what has already been a tremendous season.
