Match Day Thread Millwall FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 23rd November 2024 - KO 15:00

Sorry mate, comma missing or not but you called out 1 player as costing us 3 points.

The doom and gloom was aimed at all social media not just your post

 

Whatever mate you can’t appreciate that I’m obviously not singly blaming o9 for the goal but his part in it was very poor.

mepham was too high

as was alese.

 

Neither is Chris Rigg. Far far from it.

 

But you did in the original post I called out, you didn't mention Mepham or Alese at all.

Am I missing something in your original post?

 

I highlighted how poor his part in the goal was which is what I’ve now replied to you multiple times. His part was undoubtedly the worst imo but he’s not sole to blame

 

No he’s not but we didn’t have one. And he was the best option to do it at that time. The lad coming on for his debut under the cosh was not

 

He would be better playing in his actual position other than a second striker no?

 

Alese and Mepham were on the same wavelength playing the same line, so I’m not sure they were too high?

 

He was playing riggs usual role which is a 10. Off the ball sitting in the bank of 2

he was in his natural position. He’s not a centre midfielder

 

Well either they’re high or Ballard is deep the point more is the entire back line was a bit wobbly at that point and out of shape

Frustrating but a good point

 

5 first teamers missing away to the leagues form side could have been much worse, lesson to be learnt move on.

 

But that's not where Rigg plays for us or occupies his pace for us. He has very much played as a CM. The serb is also an 8 who plays more centrally. Definitely not as high as today.

 

Rigg plays high. He operates in the half space between the 10 and the RW. He doesn’t play an 8

 

That was my 1st thought when I saw the bench. Not a lot of experience at all. Weakest we've had this season and hardly any games of note between them. Can't see what else he could have done. I'm pleased with the point tbh.

 

Another option would've been Harrison Jones, if he's on the bench? He's very reliable, even if not at the level.

 

He was out of depth against Preston in the cup with the game done.

would’ve been bullied today

 

The serb played higher than them all and he normally doesn't. Rigg isn't a CM. We have had to use him there.

Either way it was a mistake to leave Rigg on and use the serb so high. Evidence of the game shows this.

 

For 10 minutes we are talking mate, you could have played Ba there for 10 mins and said graft ya nuts off and that's it...

But anyway, we didn't deserve to win, so we can't cry too much

 

Once again ‘the Serb’ is an advanced midfielder he didn’t play too high

 

I don’t think we deserved to not get any points. We defended perfectly until the last minute
