Neil's side suffered a humbling defeat against the Pilgrims on Wednesday night - after going into the clash on the back of four straight wins in all competitions.
On Saturday they welcome a West Brom side to The Den, who themselves are gunning for an immediate response to their 2-0 defeat against Blackburn.
Neil, who has in the past been linked with taking over at Albion, believes he knows where his side went wrong and they'll be trying to address those issues immediately when the Baggies come to town on Saturday.
He said: "For me it’s certainly a lesson in terms of the Leeds game, it was more of a tactical game. Tonight was about a fight and a battle and I probably hadn’t prepped us for that as much.
“Nobody likes to ever lose in that manner.
“I think what we can do, which is really quite straightforward, is identify where we went wrong tonight. So it’s not as if it’s hard to fix.
"It really is quite easy to fix for us, certainly from my perspective and I’m sure the players will feel the same.
"So we’ve had a really disappointing and poor night and we need to just brush it aside and we need to move on and get on with the next one.”
Albion head to London with a pretty dismal record at The Den.
They have won on one of their last ten visits to Millwall - with that victory coming courtesy of a 2-0 success under Slaven Bilic back in the 2019/2020 campaign.
The overall record doesn't make for better reading, with Albion having won just once in any of their last eleven meetings with the Lions.
The last four clashes between the sides have seen the points shared, with just two goals across four games.
