Kenny Jackett has once again seen his preparations for a game disrupted by an injury jinx that has plagued the club this season.
If loan signing Tony Craig features for The Lions in tomorrow's crucial clash at Bournemouth, the defender will become the 40th player to have pulled on a Millwall shirt this season, a quite staggering statistic.
"The disruptions we've had have been critical and have affected the balance of the team," admitted Den boss Kenny.
"This weekend we'll have 13 or 14 unavailable, but having said that we haven't been beaten in our last two games, we've won two and drawn one of our last three away from home, so we have to be positive going to Bournemouth.
The attitude of the players has been very good and we have been a little bit unlucky at times, including on Monday against Luton and in the Leyton Orient game.
But clearly we need to score some goals from our good approach play and that's what we're working on.
We must put in a couple of big performances now to pull ourselves clear of the relegation zone towards a position of safety."
