    Not even the runs for me. It's presence , nause and when to back in to create the spaces.

    Ref should have given out more cards to them, including for diving. However, he got that offside decision spot on .

    Can we ask a review on cirkin injury if the ref didn't see it ? Surely dangerous play, potential red card ? Not sure if it's worth it, as we scored anyway but their GK led with his first and didn't even get the ball

    We were in good positions at times today with men in free space but our final ball was lacking. Diallo especially. That has nothing to do with not having a 9 on the pitch.

    I get that but those Millwall CBs love playing strikers like that, where they struggle is runs in behind. We were just poor in possession and playing between the lines today and we all know thats normally our strength

    There will def be games where we will miss a traditional no9 (which i think is what you are meaning) but I also think there will be games where our smaller front 4 will rip teams

    well as i already said my iptv was rubbish today so turned it off, saw the goal online and hope cirkin is ok other than that, from the bits i saw and what was said through the game i would say we were 'off our game' and milwall were just milwall.

    well done to get back into it and i reckon a hard fought point there...there will always be games like that.

    Their keeper has the right name, every ball from him was Long, glad we don’t have to watch that sort of football every week.

    I think you are very much in the minority , already been said by the management that they had a real go at getting a number of players in with decent money offered without success . We as a club and we as the supporters have to accept that most of the clubs want to sign strikers and want to keep what they have hence the brick wall we hit . Time to move on and put it behind us , moaning and groaning about is unhelpful and most of the supporters are very very happy with the management team in the short time they have been here and I would be devastated if negativity by the supporters drove them away !!!

    Thought the front line were all off their game today, but Hume, Ballard and Batth were immense again.

    I think we were bullied in midfield, that was the issue

    Am I correct in saying its been 3 transfer windows since we actually bought a striker other than a loan?

    The image of the goal says it all really, thats what we were up against. **** them, we've taken four points off them and even today when they had the better of it they couldn't beat us.

    I watched our stream in a Scottish sports bar, Agenda in Leven, and it was absolutely rammed for the rugby. They shuffled around so I could sit next to a power point and fetched me and Mrs Smug drinks so she didn't have to fight her way to the bar ....

    ... I'll have to check my credit card later to see if I bought the entire bar a round <laugh>
