Millwall continue their hunt for a new manager following the departure of Neil Harris, with a host of names being linked with the post.

Adam Barrett has been placed in caretaker charge at the Den and has staked his claim for the role on a permanent basis, by leading his side to a 2-1 win over Championship high-flyers Leeds United last time out.

So should Millwall be considering Barrett for the manager's post on a permanent basis?

We discuss........

George Brooks

"Barrett doesn't have any experience as a manager, so his appointment would have to be considered a bit of a gamble, especially when they're more experienced options available at the moment.

"With that said, Barrett is a good coach though and he's been at Millwall for a couple of years now. He'll know the players very well and will already have a good understanding of what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how he can get the best out of them.

"He'd need to adapt with the challenges that come with managing at this level but he showed in his first game as caretaker boss against Leeds that he's got what it takes to get the best out of the players.

"It could be an appointment that the fans at The Den would get behind too."

Ned Holmes

“No, I don’t think so.

“Obviously, the result against Leeds United last weekend was fantastic but I think it would be rash to know look to give Barratt the job permanently.

“The 39-year-old has very little experience and I think Millwall would be better served going for someone with more managerial pedigree.

“I think it would be a move lacking in ambition if they were to hand the caretaker-manager the job full-time.”

“Having someone who the players know and seem happy to play is a real bonus for the London club as it gives them the luxury of time to find the right manager.”

Josh Cole

“If Barratt continues to lead Millwall to success in his caretaker role at the club, there is no reason why he shouldn’t be handed over the reins on a permanent basis.

“Although he has no previous experience of management, the 39-year-old secured an impressive victory over Leeds United before the international break.

“With the Lions currently 15th in the Championship standings, Barratt will be confident in his ability to steer the club to safety this season.

“Having waved goodbye to Neil Harris earlier this month, Millwall will be desperate to achieve a relative amount of success in the second-tier over the coming years and thus Barratt may turn out to be the ideal appointment.”
