Charlton league game ‘main focus’ – Neil.

Despite Millwall’s EFL Cup match with Crystal Palace next week, manager Alex Neil insists Saturday’s Championship game against Charlton is the “main priority”.

The Lions have won two and lost two of their first four league games, but they have struggled offensively, scoring only three goals. Their last game before the international break was a 2-0 home defeat to Wrexham.

“(I’m) A little bit frustrated with the last game, but we’ve had plenty of time to go over it and put it to bed, we’ve got a lot of other important games to focus on, no more so than the next two, two sort of local derbies with Charlton and Crystal Palace,” Neil told BBC London’s Radio 1.

“To be fair to this point, our only focus has been Charlton, we’ve not even thought on or discussed Palace at the moment because Charlton is our main priority.” Millwall has a good record against Charlton, having not lost against them in nearly 30 years.”

I’m looking forward to the game, it should be a sell out, a good atmosphere, we know we need to go and try and get all three points on the board,” replied Neil.

“I’m always a little worried when we have a good record against opponents because you don’t want to be the guy who loses the following game, but we’re optimistic going into the match.

“I think it’s well documented that we’re not at full strength, but it doesn’t mean we can’t go there and get a result.”
