Neil Harris says the way Millwall overcame late heartache last season to win promotion will stand them in good stead this time.
Millwall are still sixth in the Championship despite losing 3-0 to Fulham but finish against promotion rivals Middlesbrough and Aston Villa.
Last term, Millwall lost 3-0 at Oxford in their penultimate League One game but still went up via the play-offs.
“The lads are brilliant, I’m so proud of what they’ve done so far,” said the Milwall boss. “Wind back 12 months and we got beaten by Oxford and then won at Wembley a month later.”
Millwall were on top for the first 45 minutes on Friday but Fulham’s Ryan Fredericks said: “We knew if we rode the wave in the first half they’d come out tired for the second half.”
