Jackett praises young strike duo

Kenny Jackett praised young strikers Josh McQuoid and John Marquis for their role in Millwall's 4-0 win over struggling Preston. The Lions boss saw his side move to within two points of the play-off places as the strike duo bagged a goal apiece, with Darren Purse and James Henry also chipping in. "We have a lack of strikers for one reason or another at the moment, but the two young lads, McQuoid and Marquis, came in and did brilliantly," Jackett said. "They don't have many league games between them so to look that threatening shows the players they are. They looked a natural partnership out there and what more can you ask, they both got goals and looked dangerous throughout. "To be still in with a play-off chance at this stage of the season is a great achievement in itself, but we've got some very good company in the sides around us. "We have to focus on ourselves and nothing else. Unless you play well yourself you're nowhere, so we're focussing on us alone and everything else that happens, happens, we can't control that."
