Overview
- Camiel Neghli put Millwall ahead on 16 minutes, Adam Randell equalised soon after half-time, and Macauley Langstaff netted the 81st‑minute winner at The Den.
- Millwall climbed back into the Championship play-off places in fifth, with Bristol City slipping to eighth.
- Gerhard Struber praised phases of control but criticised his side’s box defending, calling the defeat a painful, avoidable loss.
- Struber said substitutions, including withdrawing Sinclair Armstrong on 66 minutes, were made to manage workload and protect players during the congested schedule.
- Bristol City’s senior striker options remain thin with Fally Mayulu out for four to six weeks and Harry Cornick suspended, and Struber indicated an attacking addition in January would help; Radek Vitek remains sidelined until at least February with Max O’Leary the number one.
