Neil calls for Millwall ruthless streak

Alex Neil's side have now gone three games without a Championship win

Boss Alex Neil said Millwall lacked a ruthless streak in the 1-1 draw against Preston North End at The New Den.

Neil told BBC London: "I thought we were good in the first half and I was quite happy. The mistake is disappointing and it gives Preston a leg up. From there they are a hard team to break down.

"Defensively we didn't want any silly mistakes and we gave ourselves a mountain to climb, but in the main, I thought we were by far the better side in the first half.

"We had a few opportunities, got in good spaces and areas and we were hoping something would drop for us - and then they made a mistake.

"We started the second half well but the game flipped in their favour when their subs came on. They had more energy and impetus and we had to defend well and Max made a good save.

"We certainly didn't deserve to lose and over the 90 minutes we probably edged it but when it finishes like it did in the last 10-15 minutes we'll take the point.

"We had good moments but we missed the clinical edge, that moment of quality. We obviously want to get more of that."
