Overview
- Camiel Neghli put Millwall ahead on 16 minutes, Adam Randell equalised four minutes into the second half, and Macauley Langstaff settled it in the 81st minute.
- The result lifted Millwall back into the Championship play-off positions and left Bristol City eighth at the turn of the year.
- Gerhard Struber called the defeat a cheap and painful loss, lamenting lapses in penalty-area defending after his side had wrested control early in the second half.
- Struber substituted Sinclair Armstrong and Rob Atkinson on 66 minutes to manage workloads during the festive schedule, bringing on Emil Riis and Neto Borges.
- With Fally Mayulu out for four to six weeks and Harry Cornick suspended, Struber acknowledged limited senior striker options and said an attacking addition in January would help.
