Millwall fans are split after in their opinion after manager Neil Harris’s latest comments.
The Lions dropped to 22nd in the table following their 3-2 defeat at Preston on Saturday and the result leaves them without a win in seven games.
Speaking after the game, the manager’s comments suggests he’s ready to bring in reinforcements to get his side out of their current situation, but fans have voiced their concerns over the man with a long-standing affinity with the club.
Harris said:
"We have to be realistic. If we can’t improve our results then something has to change, something has to change. I love my job, so that isn’t changing. I have to change the players, and that’s not a threat, that is just the reality of it.”

Everyone is entitled to their opinion on Harris and the table obviously is a concern but that doesn't take away the fact that he has tried everything people have mentioned as the issue at some point.if you haven't noticed then you don't pay enough attention #millwall

#millwall The truth is that if #Harris stays, this time next year , we will be at the bottom of league 1 facing relegation to league 2. Other teams have seen this. Trust me, there is a serious problem between Harris and the team . He has lost it.

One thing for certain is that the next four games could prove pivotal for the Bermondsey outfit. Ties against Stoke, Reading, Nottingham Forest and Ipswich will surely decide if, and what movements the club make, both in and out of The Den.
