Millwall’s slim Play-Off hopes appear over after they fell to a 2-0 Championship defeat against Blackburn Rovers at The Den.
The visitors took the lead through a deflected Bradley Dack effort from the edge of the box 18 minutes in after the Lions failed to get their defensive set-up right.
Tyrhys Dolan should then have made it two when a Millwall clearance was played straight at him but indecision set in while another effort of his curled wide minutes later.
The early second-half introduction of Matt Smith provided Millwall with their best chance to equalise but the forward headed wide from Scott Malone’s cross.
Blackburn continued to dominate and Millwall keeper Bart Bialkowski made an excellent diving save from Sam Gallagher before Ryan Woods was lucky not to see red and give away a penalty for an apparent foul on Dack.
However, Rovers made the game safe with fifteen minutes to play when a poor Jake Cooper pass to Shaun Hutchinson gave possession to Joe Rothwell whose initial shot was blocked by Cooper only to rebound off Gallagher and go in.
Malone hit the post and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson forced a save from Thomas Kaminski late on but Millwall deserved nothing from the game.
