Ed Upson confident of Millwall survival

Millwall midfielder Ed Upson has claimed that the squad fully believes that they can avoid relegation from the Championship.

The Lions sit seven points adrift of safety following Friday's late 2-1 win over Charlton Athletic.

With consecutive home games against Watford and Wigan Athletic to come, Upson believes that Millwall are in with a good chance of staying up.

"The feeling at the end of the game on Friday was elation; you could see what it means to the fans and to us out on the pitch too - and especially against that team in particular. It was a great feeling all round," he told the club's official website. "We showed true character which I think the manager has instilled in the squad. There is a real sense of belief here."

Millwall are back in action on Saturday when they host promotion-chasing Watford.
