Promotion dream is fading, says Wilkins

Ray Wilkins has conceded that Millwall's promotion hopes have all but disappeared.

Millwall face Reading tomorrow but, following their 3-1 defeat at Leicester, they have a five-point gap to bridge to make the play-offs.

"We have to be realistic," Millwall's assistant manager said. "Our play-off hopes are drifting away. We are disappointed but injuries have not helped. After last season's FA Cup Final appearance, we wanted to push on."

Danny Dichio cancelled out Richard Stearman's 15th-minute opener but Leicester regained the lead through David Connolly's penalty and Mark De Vries completed the scoring.
