Millwall manager Kenny Jackett has attributed the performances of his loan players to his side's recent upturn in form.

The Lions have won three of their last four matches to lift themselves out of the relegation zone.

They now face away trips to league leaders Leyton Orient and fellow strugglers Luton Town.

Jackett told the club's official website: "I would love to have a few more players fit and available, but apart from Gary Alexander returning from suspension it doesn't look like we'll have anyone else back.

"Fortunately our loan players have been making a significant contribution as you saw on Saturday with Ahmet Brkovic scoring the first goal and then setting up Will Hoskins for the second.

"For clubs at our level bringing players in on loan is a necessity, but they have to be people of the right character and ideally they would come in to supplement a solid base of players who are at the club permanently."
