    Don't be daft. It's O'Nien's fault. It's his fault we're **** up front too. And I think he probably is at fault for the failure to establish peace in the middle east

    As soon as Ballard commits, O’Nien moves across. Hume stands where he wants. O’Nien covers the space vacated, striker is behind him so he can’t see him, Hume can yet still makes no effort

    Terrible half. Tone has 45 mins to save his job.

    Getting best by one of the worst teams in the league

    Seems to be that in games that look like can go either way we most often concede first.

    All over the place tactically. Ignoring basics and trying to play with a “style” we aren’t equipped to. Been sussed out.

    You don't cover space when the only threat is right behind you

    Cue the fickle club. Thought there was a second half in this game or is it new rules that if you go in at half time then the game has ended ffs

    Ballard made a mess for that goal. He got himself caught out of position, made a rash lunge, risked an injury, got himself booked and left a gap at the back. The rest of the defence didn't cover themselves in glory.

    Ballard chased a ball, lost the tackle. Huggins let the cross in, 09 under the ball, Hume not back helping.

    A bad goal all round. However I believe the correct answer is 09 is ****e, mowbray is ****e, we are doomed

    Then turn it off. Guess you missed three raking fantastic passes he’s played, oh no, that’s right, you ignore those and focus on him covering a vacated space.

    What exactly was Hume doing? Hume can see the striker and the run, O’Nien has to move to cover Ballard space. If Ballard hadn’t over committed, O’Nien stays and doesn’t have to do much, all on Hume that one

    Burstow has ONE touch in the Millwall box. Not even close to an acceptable amount of service. Feel sorry for the lads who have been brought in to score goals having to play in this tragic system but then are the ones who seem to get the abuse. Shambles.

    His switches has been great. But I don't give a toss. It's the defensive work he is weak at and that goal is a prime example.
