After narrowly missing out on the play-offs last season, you would have expected Neil Harris to lead his side towards the play-off positions again this season. How wrong could you be. 

Millwall currently sit 22nd in the Championship table, with Preston being the only side with a worse record so far this season.

With three defeats in a row and only one win all season, it's clear to see exactly why Millwall fans are concerned about their teams fate this season, after such a successful season last year.

With tough matches against the likes of Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa still to come for Millwall, it looks difficult to see where they are going to pick up points next.

We look at the disadvantages they have in this season's relegation battle.

The festive period typically shapes where a team will finish at the end of the season and Millwall have a tough set of fixtures to get through during the Christmas and New Year period with difficult matches against Stoke City, Derby County and Middlesbrough all still to come.

Neil Harris will hope that his side are well clear of the relegation zone before those matches take place, otherwise they face a difficult festive period.

The lack of goals in this Millwall side is still a concern amongst supporters, as the club have only found the back of the net nine times so far this season.

The club's top goalscorer is Lee Gregory who has only netted three times this season, whilst defender Jake Cooper has scored twice, so Neil Harris will be looking for one of his squad to step up and provide his side with much needed goals to get them out of the relegation places.

Steve Morison struggled for goals last season, only scoring four times all season and this season has proved to be a similar story so far.

The former Welsh international hasn't scored in any of his eight starts this season and Neil Harris might be tempted to drop the striker to experiment with his squad during this poor run of form.

With Lee Gregory netting only three times already this season, Morison will need to step up and chip in with some goals before Millwall find themselves adrift at the wrong end of the table.
