    I don't think we attempted a single cross.

    Scrappy game that, doesn't suit our lads. Seems to suit them as they look like dirty bastards.

    I know its effective but I’d hate it if we played like they do. Never going to get promoted doing that every game

    We're still in the game. The longer we can keep them out the more opportunities we'll get on the counter. The young lads have done really well dealing with the physicality and haven't been overawed by the noise and hostility from the home end. Hopefully the ref doesn't give in to them claiming for everything too.

    To be clear...I think the ref asked the linesman if the Millwall player blocking Patterson's view was offside. He was clearly then told yes he was so ref disallowed it. Fantastic refereeing imo. Brave too!

    Great character building for the youngens, this. Thought we’ve managed to hold our own in what them lot are trying to turn in to a big scrap. We’ll get chances.

    Disagree. He was offside, stood in front of the keeper and moved out of the way. Had to be. Strange but it’s a very good decision

    We used to watch that style every week tho lol. But tbf I think they (Millwall) mix it up quite well. We are just a bit spoiled recently the way we play...

    Think so. We need to hold the ball or fight fire with fire. Getting rolled over at the moment and screams of a 1-0 defeat unless we make the adjustments. JG neede to do better up to top.

    That’s his second sub appearance against us in two games for two different clubs.
