Paul: I'll fill the gap for Lions

Paul Ifill says he is ready to fill-in up front for Millwall in the FA Cup Final if called on by player-manager Dennis Wise.

The winger could be pressed into a striker's role against Manchester United next month as Danny Dichio faces a suspension and Nick Chadwick's loan from Everton will have expired.

Neil Harris and Mark McCammon would be the obvious partnership but Ifill has been asked to step in before and has scored nine goals this season.

He said: "It is bad news for Danny but it is not all doom and gloom. We still have Mark and Neil and there is also John Sutton and Kevin Braniff. I can play up front, too, if need be."

Dichio has to serve a three-match ban after he was sent off for violent conduct against Nottingham Forest two weeks ago. He had an appeal rejected and his only hope of a reprieve is if Millwall qualify for extra games by reaching the play-offs.
