Neil Harris expressed dissatisfaction with Luton Town’s winning goal in a 1-0 defeat for Millwall at The Den. Teden Mengi executed a superb first-time strike from long range past Lukas Jensen after Millwall had initially tested the Danish goalkeeper. Despite late chances falling to Macaulay Langstaff and Shaun Hutchinson, the Lions couldn’t equalize.
While Harris praised aspects of his team’s performance, he highlighted defensive lapses for the deciding goal. He pointed out the team’s positive aspects like their dominance and pressing play but lamented the lack of a clinical edge in the final third. Harris particularly bemoaned the conceding of an early goal, emphasizing the need for a stronger defensive mindset.
Expressing disappointment with the team’s inconsistency in defending, Harris questioned their mentality and aggressive nature. He compared their performances against different opponents and urged his players to show more hunger and determination in protecting their goal. The coach made it clear that these issues would be addressed rigorously in the upcoming week of training.
