Away form vital for play-off objective - De Norre

Midfielder Casper De Norre says trying to replicate last season's impressive away form will be vital for Millwall to challenge for the Championship play-off spots again. The Lions boasted the best away record in the division in the 2025-26 campaign with 41 points from 23 games on the road, while only champions Coventry City picked up as many wins (11). Alex Neil's side started the new season with an impressive 2-0 victory away at Bristol City on Saturday to pick up where they left off. "It's very important if you want to achieve what we're trying to achieve to go and get into those play-offs again," De Norre told BBC Radio London . "You have to be very good both at home and away, so it's very good that we can start with an away win. "We're off to a perfect start. It's always a difficult game away at Bristol. I think the game just played out perfectly for us." When asked what Millwall's realistic expectations were this season, with two extra play-off spots up for grabs, the 29-year-old added: "Try to be a bit better than we were last year. "Go into the play-offs and try and finish it in the play-offs rather than going out." Millwall have reached the second-tier play-offs on four previous occasions but have lost in the semi-final each time. They have not played top flight football since 1990 and will hope to finally end that run this season after missing out on automatic promotion by just one point to second-placed Ipswich Town in May.
