Dean Whitehead:

"We're in a precarious position but there is only one way to get out of it: winning games," Whitehead stated. "We will go after Millwall. We will throw everything at them and hopefully that will get us what we want at the end.

"Everyone knows what Millwall are like. They're a tough side and they'll be organised. They'll get the ball forward quickly.

"We have to be ready for this. We understand how they play and we have to hurt them when we have the ball.

"We have to take the game to teams, especially at home.

"We need everybody behind us. We need to stick together as a group and as a Club."
