followed on and off via flashscore app. we had so much more possession - it was 66-34 for a lot of the game - but the goal attempts tilted far more the other way. the crucial decision was obviously
taking honeyman off, so hurray for that stroke of genius.
 
What I will say about ebiowei, and pelkas to an extent, is that whoever doesn't start in that front 4 for us comes off looking better than those who did start, last few game sbeen the same, longman starts and he's ****, comes on and he's played well.

sorry, have to disagree there, Ebiowe doesnt look good starting or coming off he bench, he is a bit of a show pony, does some fancy tricks but when it comes to producing an actual final pass or cross he is woeful, and i dont think anyone has actually told him he does need to work a bit off the ball. Grosicki used to frustrate the fk out of me, but he at least did the goods when going forward so we forgave him for his defensive frailties. Ebiowie came with such a big reputation added to by Rosie but has failed in every department for me.

Weird isn’t it? I think the last winger who played well from the start might have been KLP. I wonder if he’d come back?
 
5 points from 3 with no strikers. 2 outta the 3 in playoff contention and 5 months ago we had the worst defensive record in the top 6 divisions.

Yet some people have to focus on the negatives.
Doesn’t matter if we have 5 strikers on the pitch if we don’t create chances!! But yes let’s bury our heads in the sand cause one of our few good players scored a worldie and our loanee goalie from the Prem saved us from yet another crap performance.

Agreed 100%. Ebiowei for me is League 1 standard if that. He’s had enough time to prove himself.

Why would we have 5 strikers on the pitch? No one is burying heads either. We didn't play that well but we won.

Btw Milwall are in the playoffs for a reason they are a good side.

Only person with a buried head is the one who refuses to acknowledge the progress.
 
Darlow was absolutely superb today and the strike by Traore was excellent, but with Ebiowel playing it is like playing with ten men, he did'nt help a very poor Greaves at all when playing on the left and was just as poor when playing down the right in front of Coyle.I am not a big fan of Coyle but one of the commentators said he had come into the game carrying a knock I have to admire his commitment, bravery and willingness to run himself into the ground for the team.

That’s my point….we haven’t been playing well but today we got away with it due to a worldie goal and worldie saves. Anyway a win is a win, just not confident with the direction we’re going in at the moment.
 
I don't understand why some people think we should be sweeping other sides away week after week.

Millwall are 5th for a reason. They are a good solid team. We have been inconsistent with line ups and form all season, a win despite a poor performance is a good win.

Rosenior is showing he has ability, but he's still learning. I'm looking forward to next season.

A win despite a poor performance is not sustainable.

Maybe I’m missing something and you’re seeing something in our play that makes you confident about next season.

I’m going to predict that next season will be more boring defensive football with not many chances or goals.
