Match Day Thread Hull City v Millwall

[Howdentiger2]

You can tell we aren't playing with a proper striker on the pitch. Two midfielders up front isn't doing much for us.

Look how wide apart their cb's are playing....it's easy for them

 

[Howdentiger2]

And the bar, it was one of those where you ask how didn't it cross the line? But somehow it didn't.

Hawk eye doing its job ( I'm sure we have that in the champ haha )

 

[Charon]

Greaves poor and Malcom E and Pelkas just dont do tackling or 50 50s - hopefully we get better fayre in the second half because this is turgid stuff

All subbed

Putting Ebiowei on the pitch full stop today has been mental, he's offering nothing, there's zero effort and zero desire. I know young players are soft these days but Jesus he's scared of fresh air.

Darlow keeping us in this. Big change needed in the second half.

Got to say I've seen very little of what Ebiowie brings tk the team, he has had one half decent game but has no end product, doesn't do the dirty work and sulks if it isn't to his feet, poor tbh, ha ing said that Longman, Traore and Elder all on, good

Everyone knows hes quality
But starting today was a bit out of scope with the quick turnaround

 

[bradymk2]

I can see why millwall dont concede many nor score too many

Very tough to break down and fantastic at containing us where they want
Really frustrate and slow the tempo down

 

[Tigerboy98]

Really? Doubt it as you can get a stream easily enough and relatively few have SKY Sports that is unlikely it will make any difference.

Just repeating what the commentator on iFollow said

 

[bradymk2]

I want to see longman do that more
Be more selfish
Get the ball in the area

 

[Cityzen]

Just repeating what the commentator on iFollow said

Seems a strange thing to do as it will have made no difference.

Very strange, we’re the only champ game that isn’t on sky today

 

[Grumpyoldtiger]

Traore a bit of class!

 

[bradymk2]

YESSSSS GET IN

 

[Sumatran_Tiger]

There's only one Adama Traore...
Oh, wait a minute

 

[Blaknamberblood]

Gtf in ... quality

 

[bradymk2]

[Plum]

Precision finish from Traore.

How many on here where at Boothferry Park, Christmas 1965 when we beat Millwall 1-0 with over 40,000 there? Not a bad crowd for a 3rd division game. Biggest crowd in the country on the day if I remember correctly. It was even commented on the main BBC tv sports news that night. Both teams were battling it out at the top of the division, with City eventually finishing as champions.
Remember the only goal at the North stand end, an own goal at that, but not many realised it on the day, Harry Cripps? Bit of a goal mouth scramble, I was stood right up against the barriers in the North Stand and just remember an enormous cheer as the ball nestled in the back of the net, players shaking hands then trotting back to the centre circle. Sure Tom Wilson who we signed three years later was Millwalls number five that day.
It was a quick turn around in those days and we were at The (old) Den the following day. City enquired before setting off as to the state of the pitch and were told it was perfectably playable. When they got there it was frozen solid, and unfortunatly our kit man, if we had one, hadn't packed the right boots/studs for the state of the pitch and City spent 90 mins slipping and sliding all over the place and losing 3-0.
I never dreamt at the time that the crowd would be the biggest home crowd I would ever see City play in front of. It wasn't even that much of a surprise at the time, it was almost expected and it was pay at the turnstile on the day.

I was there. My Dad handed me over the railings at Bunkers so I sat on the grass not far away from where the OG went in. Alex Stepney was in goal for Millwall.
