WE travel to London today for our last away game of a very long season.

A year ago we went to Millwall hoping to cause an upset in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy semi-final.

But I certainly think there has been huge progress made since that evening.

Sadly we are now unable to make the play-off places, but that doesn’t make too much difference to our approach to the game.

We still go there looking for a win and looking for a proper performance from every single one of our players – as we always do.

Some of them are playing for their futures at the club, others are playing to cement a place in the starting eleven next season.

All of them are playing for three points, which should be motivation in itself.

I think that our away form really has been excellent this season.

It maybe took us one or two games to find our feet in this division.

You are playing against better players week in week out and last season we were often able to exploit any weaknesses we knew about in the other team.

There are fewer weaknesses in a League One side, obviously.

But once we tweaked a few things and did a little fine tuning, we have been able to pick up some excellent wins on the road.

Fans are always going to talk about the win at Swindon – a fantastic day – but don’t forget that we were in excellent form away from home by that stage.

It was the second in a string of five successive away victories including 4-0 wins at Rochdale and Chesterfield.

That success at Rochdale, who hadn’t lost at home all season, and a terrific 2-0 win at Bolton back in October were my personal highlights away from home.

But it has been a privilege to play in front of our travelling support who really have been amazing.

We had almost 4,000 at MK Dons and I believe more than 1,000 fans at over half the games.

That’s terrific support and it would be great to end our travels with a win this afternoon.

I have played and managed at Millwall and it is certainly always a huge test of character.

It is, as the name suggest, a Lions’ Den and you need to be brave to play your football and take the game to the home side.

We did that last season, and I am sure will do so again today.

WE return home for the last game of the season next Sunday against Shrewsbury.

We want to end the campaign in style and with our visitors fighting to avoid relegation, we owe it to everyone to turn in a decent performance.

We may not be celebrating promotion this year, but I think the season has been hugely successful for the club.

It would be great for as many people as possible to come along next weekend and celebrate with us.

It’s a final opportunity to applaud the players’ efforts in the 62nd game of a marathon season.

It has been a terrific effort, so turn up and get behind us one last time.

Your support makes all the difference.
