'Determined mentality a key part of Neil's ethos'

Millwall's victory over Bristol City sees the Lions sit third in the table, with Mihailo Ivanovic striking the goal to secure a third victory in a row.

The game was certainly marred by controversial refereeing decisions for both sides, with Bristol City having a goal ruled out for being offside despite being onside and a contentious booking for Millwall left-back Zak Sturge in the 80th minute.

This absolutely reflects the larger problem within this league when looking at the quality of refereeing and how such decisions can have long-term consequences for teams - such as Jake Cooper's suspension recently, following a disputable fifth yellow card.

Following last weekend's intense victory over Southampton, this win further emphasised how important it is for Millwall to continue to capitalise on attacking moments and goalscoring opportunities as the season continues.

In his post-match interview, Alex Neil said: "If you want to try and be at the top end of the table, can you win games when not at your best?"

The ability within the squad to have a determined and fighting mentality while capitalising on such moments is clearly an important part of Neil's ethos.

Finally, I think it is important to note the importance of the support to this team.

Midfielder Daniel Kelly said: "The crowd were excellent, they pulled us through and got us there in the end."

I can only hope Millwall fans will continue to fill The Den and show such support as the season continues, as they are certainly the 12th man.
