Millwall Pre-Season Fixtures Announced
Millwall have announced their plans for their 2013 pre-season, where they will play a total of five friendlies against ranging opposition from France to non-league England. Phelan says he feels confident going into these fixtures with tactics sorted out.
Mike Phelan told the press today that he was confident of a good pre-season this morning after the club's fixtures were revealed. First up, the club will host French side Valenciennes at The Den, which is set to be the toughest fixture of the summer.
Next the Lions travel to Crewe and will contest in a friendly against Crewe Alexandra, which will provide a fitness boost for most players. After that the club will travel up into the midlands where they will play Milton Keynes Dons, another fitness-boosting game.
After that Millwall will face Blue Square Premier League side Forest Green Rovers at Forest Green which will give the youngsters a chance to shine and maybe earn themselves a place in the squad. The club finishes their pre-season at more non-league opposition, but this time in the shape of Dartford.
"If you ask me, I think we can win them all," said Phelan. "I have some tactics sorted, the players are back from a break and ready to play," he added. All eyes will be on the ex-United assistant as he embarks on his first managerial adventure.
