Season summary

In the 1991–92 season, Millwall were looking to challenge for automatic promotion but started the campaign poorly with 1 win from their first 7 league games which saw them in relegation zone near the end of September and even though their form slightly improved onwards, manager Rioch was sacked after a 6-1 defeat at Portsmouth and Mick McCarthy took over as player-manager and kept them up from possible relegation, with Millwall finishing in a disappointing 15th place.
