Millwall 'rolled dice early' in play-off defeat - Neil

Millwall head coach Alex Neil spoke to BBC Radio London after his side were beaten 2-0 by Hull City in the Championship play-off semi-finals: "[The feeling is] disappointment as much as anything else and I think frustration. I didn't think there was a lot in the game, I thought the first goal was always going to be a deciding factor in the game. "We're the home team and we wanted to really force the issue.

We rolled the dice a little bit early with putting on our striker [Mihailo Ivanovic] up front. "But I still think we lacked quality in the game, I didn't think there was enough quality shown in terms of getting into good areas and crosses in the box. "I put the two guys [Alfie Doughty and Barry Bannan] who you would probably say have got the quality in our squad onto the pitch to try to influence that and give us a bit of momentum, but unfortunately within 30 seconds or a minute of them coming on, the ball ends up in the back of the net.

"After that we start chasing our tail a little bit and from there it becomes difficult for us. The second goal - we try to keep the ball in play so we can sustain an attack and it costs us the second goal - they break and then they manage to score. "At that stage, the game gets taken away from us.
