Planet Swans ArchivesThe former Swansea City manager saw his Millwall side take a point away from the Liberty on Friday night and could quite rightly feel a little aggrieved that the tally was not three with his side having the better chances.
But he was happy enough with his point and wants to emulate the Swans progress in recent years at the New Den.
“They are a good side, an established Championship club and one we’d like to emulate,” Jackett told the Western Mail after the game
“They have been challenging at the top end after coming up from League One and they are a side to aspire to.
“They didn’t move into the top two this time but they will have their opportunities again this season, I’m sure of that. They are very capable, a team with a lot of strengths who can cause you all sorts of problems.
“And it is a long season, you only have to look at Watford going to QPR and winning to see that.
“But they will get there. They finished seventh last year and were unlucky to miss out because they had been contenders all season and that was the lowest position they had been for many months.
“They are still right up there as it stands now and are making a terrific contribution. They have the right people who can keep taking the club forward.”
