Here are our player ratings from The Den.
Starting XI
Daniel Iversen: A huge blunder for the Millwall goal. Didn’t show any nerves after it though, and a priceless save to deny Ivanovic in the second half. 5
Jordan Storey: One or two lapses of concentration in the second half but stood up tall in the second half and put his body on the line. 7
Liam Lindsay: Cleared plenty of crosses with his head and was alert to most things. Didn’t need to throw the ball to Iversen for the error but can’t have anticipated what transpired. Booked late on in the game. 6.5
Andrew Hughes: Another strong showing from one of PNE’s most consistent performers this campaign. Carried out a couple of roles on the day. 7.5
Odel Offiah: Was aggressive in his duels, both ground and aerial. More encouragement for him as he adjusts to playing right wing-back. 7.5
Jamal Lewis: Showed good athleticism to get forward for his 57 minutes. Millwall had some joy down his side but did OK on the whole. 6.5
Ben Whiteman: An important clearance on the line first half. Managed the game carefully after his booking and was steady. 7
Stefan Thordarson: Saw an early shot from the edge of the box saved. Didn’t get on the ball as much as he would’ve liked but endeavour was there. 6
Harrison Armstrong: A mature performance at a difficult away venue. He didn’t shirk the fight and grew into the contest. 7
Mads Frokjaer: Some tidy combination play in the opening exchanges and applied pressure with energy. Made way on 70 minutes. 6
Michael Smith: Put a real shift in for the team and took his goal well. Was more effective in the second half. Dragged a shot wide after bringing it down. 7.5
Substitutes
Thierry Small: Brought such intent on to the pitch. Came desperately close to scoring the winner late on. 7
Lewis Dobbin: Added spark into PNE’s attack and caused some problems. Looked destined to clinch the points at the death but was denied. 6.5
Alfie Devine: Threw himself straight into the contest and showed plenty of bite. Made a positive impact overall. 6.5
