Millwall manager Gary Rowett believes Bristol City were as good as any of the 12 teams the Lions have faced at The Den this season as Nigel Pearson’s Robins emerged from south east London with a hard-fought point.
Pearson went into the contest under some pressure after just one win in their previous eight games and supporter frustration over tactics, selection and the last two performances at Ashton Gate, but City certainly didn’t lack commitment, discipline and a collective team ethic against Millwall, delivering a strong defensive display when they needed it the most.
The Lions boast the fourth-best home record in the Championship, but Rowett was impressed by what he saw from City in the way they were organised and restricted his team and is confident they’ll soon start to climb the Championship standings once again.
