BEFORE you know it, the club football season will be over and the Euros will have begun.
But before England can begin to disappoint the nation at another major tournament, plenty of loose ends still need to be tied up in the Championship.
For Millwall the main goal is securing their survival but plenty of fascinating sub-plots are playing out in the dressing room.
NewsAtDen has had a look at which Millwall players could most use a strong end to the season.
–
Michael Obafemi
It’s one goal for Michael Obafemi so far but several good signs that there’s plenty more to come from the Burnley loanee.
He’s spent most of his time at The Den gaining match fitness first and foremost and it’s only in the recent defeat at Leeds United where he has completed a whole game without being subbed on or subbed off.
The 23-year-old will believe he’s got the potential to be a Premier League player over the long-term but his unfortunate injury record has halted him.
The best way he can get his name back out there and remind Burnley – and other clubs – of his ability is by ending the season strongly and finding the net with regularity, something many think he is capable of.
And with Tom Bradshaw, Kevin Nisbet and Aidomo Emakhu all out injured at the moment, he won’t have a better chance to promote himself.
Brooke Norton-Cuffy
It was going so well for Brooke Norton-Cuffy. He started 21 of the first 23 games of his Millwall career and peaked from November to New Year’s Day, scoring twice and assisting twice and being a regular threat down the right.
But an injury around the turn of the year and physical issues in February meant he was out of the side by the time Neil Harris returned.
Norton-Cuffy’s challenge is now trying to regularly displace George Honeyman or Ryan Leonard on the right-hand side of the team but they are two of the Lions’ most consistent players.
If he can manage it, a sparkling end to the season would be a great boost of confidence to take back to Arsenal.
Norton-Cuffy, 20, has shown progression from his Rotherham United and Coventry City loan spells last season and will be keen to end his Millwall stay as strongly as he started it.
Billy Mitchell
It’s been a weird season for Billy Mitchell. Having started the first six games of the season, he would struggle for regular football again until December when Casper De Norre was ruled out with injury.
He would then get more game time after New Year’s Day due to George Saville’s suspension and then, after dropping out of the team again, has re-established his place in the starting line-up.
A lot of the work Mitchell does can go unnoticed but he looks re-energised by the faith Harris has placed in him and more than capable of putting in a shift in and out of possession.
Waiting in the wings is Casper De Norre but if Mitchell and Saville continue their form, Harris will find it hard to drop either. With such a quality player snapping at his heels, Mitchell will know he has to keep his standards high.
Romain Esse
It’s just Romain Esse’s luck that as soon as he finally gets a run in the team the manager who picked him, Joe Edwards, was sacked.
Harris has prioritised experience so far as he looks drag Millwall away from danger and so the talent and flair of Esse has had to take a back seat.
With two goals this season, the 18-year-old is not afraid of the big stage and will be hoping his teammates can secure safety with some games in hand.
In that case Esse – alongside fellow teenager Adam Mayor – may get more of a chance to show their new boss what they are capable of.
Matija Sarkic
Matija Sarkic is enjoying his best spell of the season.
Having pulled off a stunning last-minute save against Stoke City in August, he then gave away and saved a penalty against Birmingham City in the next game, his last for Millwall before he fell to a long-term quad injury.
His return match did go to plan and he was largely responsible for the goal conceded in the 1-0 defeat at Cardiff City in December.
But the 26-year-old, currently off on international duty with Montenegro, has really hit form in recent weeks and rated his crucial late save at Southampton as the most important of his Millwall career so far.
Millwall’s defensive stability under Harris means he has not had loads to do in recent games but he will be keen to show how much he has grown as a goalkeeper and continue to demonstrate his importance to the team during the final few games.
