    It's like we snached a draw from a win.

    Well we almost lost !

    Didn’t play too badly really but not sure subs actually had a good impact until Louza and Rajovic combined .

    Defending was poor for both goals though.

    Kayembe was probably our best player

    7 points out of nine in a week is not bad going.

    10 out of 12 this time next week will be better. VI may have to tinker with the defence a bit though - needs tightening up. Porteous back in instead of Sierralta I think.

    We have been conceding goals at the back post all season, no matter who plays in our defence. You could question if Bachmann is assertive enough.

    Ismael: That was typical Championship. We were good for an hour, lost our spark after the triple sub. Gave away a silly corner, defended it badly and then our fans showed belief in us and lifted us back into it at the end.

    Following the commentary it seemed a good game and we could have had a hatful. Need to stop conceding goals from corners eh.

    This was a typical game for us this season we should have won comfortably but could easily have lost

    Far more enjoyable than most this season but we need to be more clinical and not concede soft goals

    Last season we would have lost this by 2 or 3 goals so an improvement, the three subs lost us impetus but we managed to regain it in time to equalise

    Some polar opposite views expressed in the responses. Makes me sometimes wonder if people are watching the same game as me.

    This comment particularly shows a lack of awareness or knowledge.

    “Atrocious in both boxes. The best of a very bad bunch in his position in between the boxes”

    He has been a defensive midfielder all career so isn’t expected to be scoring goals or making last ditch tackles in the area on a regular basis like an attacker or central defender

    Maybe we do have a lack of options there but then how many do you really need ?

    The last four games show all we need to know, he is in the last part of his career BUT he is exactly what we need, more so than looser

    Tommy Mooney was saying how the Millwall team was full of experienced players who are used to playing in England. Some of our team are, and others still learning. It should improve over time.

    The triple sub did disrupt the flow. I think, in general, three subs at once is too disruptive on a team, and should really be a last resort to try to turn things around. When you're on top and pushing for a winner, it seems rather unnecessary.
