In a candid post-match reflection, Bristol City's manager Gerhard Struber didn't mince his words following a disappointing defeat at Millwall. The encounter, which ended unfavorably for the Robins, was a stark reminder of the high standards required in the Championship.

Struber highlighted defensive lapses as the primary concern, emphasizing the need for critical self-analysis by the team. He described the loss as not being up to the mark, accentuating the necessity to maintain defensive rigor, which he felt was lacking during crucial moments against Millwall.

Despite controlling the game for significant periods and having promising transitions and possession, Bristol City failed to capitalize on these moments. Struber’s frustration was palpable as he termed the defeat a "cheap win" for Millwall, signaling that the outcomes could have been different had his team tightened up their play.
