MILLWALL manager Neil Harris was angered by how few problems his side were able to pose Swindon Town after their long unbeaten run came to an end on Saturday.

The Lions travelled to the County Ground looking to make it 17 League One matches in a row without defeat – form that has carried them to the brink of the play-off places – but were well short of their best and eventually succumbed to Conor Thomas’ stoppage time winner.

In fact, so incensed was Harris by Millwall’s lacklustre performance, he labelled it as amongst the worst his side have produced during his tenure at the helm.

“We didn’t impose ourselves on the game. The front four players were about as bad as they’ve been in my two years in charge,” said Harris.

“A Millwall team should be coming here today really imposing ourselves on the game, being on the front foot and being aggressive.

“We got into good positions with the ball and didn’t use it wisely, that’s the only frustration.

“You want to reward people for playing well and being consistent. It’s been fruitful for us over the last three-and-a-half months. Today is not acceptable and if we are to force our way back into play-off contention, we certainly have to perform a lot better than that.

“We could be stood here after a 0-0 and say we’ve nicked a point away from home and been really solid and not given too many chances away.

“But the fact is, we didn’t create enough chances. The players didn’t play with enough bravery on the ball and we looked a weak team mentally and physically.”

Harris admits it was inevitable that Millwall’s long unbeaten streak would come to an end eventually but he was angered at how little resistance they put up in surrendering that record.

“We knew we were going to get beaten at some stage, we weren’t naïve enough to think we were going to win every game until the end of the season,” said Harris.

“Something was going to have to give at some stage but the disappointing thing for me was the manner of the defeat.”
