Millwall roared into the Championship's automatic promotion spots with a commanding 2-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers, but manager Alex Neil believes his side left goals on the pitch. Speaking to BBC Radio London after the match, Neil praised the performance while highlighting an area for improvement.
"We made a fast start," Neil said. "We needed to get the fans behind us, we needed to play on the front foot, try and create chances and pressure." That aggressive approach paid immediate dividends, setting the tone for a dominant display at The Den.
The early goals provided a perfect platform, yet Neil's comments suggest a relentless mindset crucial for a promotion chase. "To score so early and to back that up with a few chances and another goal set us up really nicely for the remainder of the game," he noted, before adding a telling reflection: "We should have scored more."
Despite the missed opportunities, the manager's overall sentiment was clear. "[I'm] delighted with the lads' performance," Neil stated, as his team sent a strong message to their rivals in the fiercely competitive Championship promotion race.
