Before the transfer deadline, Millwall is in severe need of fresh players to bolster the depth of their squad and address their early-season issues.
Despite scoring five goals themselves in just two games, the team’s lack of depth is clear as they have conceded seven goals.
In search of more depth, Harris is impatient and is aiming for defenders like Rocky Bushiri and forwards like Josh Coburn.
The deadline for transfers is drawing near, and Millwall needs players badly.
According to manager Neil Harris, the Lions are quite weak on personnel right now, as he recently informed London News Online.
“Right now, we’re working with a core group of 14 outfield players,” he stated. In the Championship, that is not acceptable.”
They have lost back-to-back games and given up seven goals in just two league games this season, which is regrettably indicative of their lack of depth in the roster. Despite a brace by Duncan Watmore in the second half, Millwall lost 3-2 to Watford at home on the first day of the season.
Then they went to the South West the next weekend, and the tale was much the same. As the game was coming to an end, the score was tied, but Scott Twine’s late winner caused Millwall to lose 4-3.has been discussing how great of a blow losing Femi Azeez will be for the Reading team with our fan pundit. Although Lions have scored five goals in their last two games, they do require another striker even though they appear to have no problem finding the back of the net. In addition, they must bolster other positions to increase squad depth in front of the usually intense Championship campaign.
Harris, who told London News Online, “I’m impatient as always – I want the players quickly,” is desperate to add fresh players. We will have senior reinforcements in the building for the next ten days, I’ve been told.”
Football League World examines two players that Millwall ought to sign before the deadline in light of this.
Although Millwall’s first two games have demonstrated that they have goal-scoring individuals on their roster, a new striker is still required.
Aberdeen is now showing interest in Kevin Nisbet, who did not play in Millwall’s loss to Bristol City. Should he leave, Harris’s only choices at number nine would be Macaulay Langstaff and Tom Bradshaw.
Another striker is required because Bradshaw, who is experienced at the level, has struggled with consistency, and Langstaff, who has an amazing goal-scoring record in non-league and League Two, is still getting used to life in the Championship.
Josh Coburn of Middlesbrough has been linked to a transfer to the Capital recently; the South London Press has learned that Millwall is eager to recruit the forward.
The 21-year-old will be lower on the Boro hierarchy, as Tommy Conway and Emmanuel Latte Lath are preferred over him. There’s no certainty that Boro will want to sell, though, as Coburn did start and score his team’s second goal in Boro’s recent 3-0 Carabao Cup victory over Leeds United.
