Millwall boss Ian Holloway in no rush to buy players

New Millwall boss Ian Holloway says that he will assess the club's current crop of players before deciding to recruit new faces.

New Millwall manager Ian Holloway has said that he will give the club's current squad of players an opportunity to impress before looking to bring in new faces.

The 50-year-old, who was appointed as Steve Lomas's successor on Monday, has agreed a two-and-a-half-year contract at The Den.

"I can make some changes if I deem fit but I have to give the lads a chance to play for me," Holloway told Sky Sports News.

"The minimum I ask is that they give the maximum of their effort. I don't want any wind left in their lungs by the end of the game. If you can breathe correctly without blowing then you have let me down.

"We have a lot of senior pros and I want to see how they respond to me before I do anything rash and harsh."

Holloway's first match in charge is against Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
