BILLY Mitchell wants Millwall to throw everything at trying to get into the play-offs with two games left of an extraordinary season.
The Lions’ 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers at The Den on Tuesday was their third victory in four games after they failed to win any of their first three after the restart.
That lifted them to within two points of Neil Harris’ Cardiff with their remaining two games at QPR this Saturday and home to Huddersfield on July 22.
Mitchell, 19, was yet to sign professional terms when Harris’ side almost made it into the play-offs but fell just short in 2017-18.
“I remember when we came up and did so well in that first season,” Mitchell said. “I was in the youth team and used to go to the home games with my dad, as long as it fit in with my game schedule. Some of the players had fantastic seasons.
“I remember watching other results come in on Sky Sports and there was that unbelievable unbeaten run. To be part of something like that this season is fantastic.
“The manager [Gary Rowett] said it was like a small tournament after coming back from the lockdown. We didn’t start that well but have picked it up recently.
“We’ve got [two] games now to throw every bit of energy and conviction at it and just hope that we can get as good results as possible. We’re in such a good position and no one wants to let this go to waste. It’s only on us now.”
