They seemed to make plenty of noise from where I was sat in upper west .
I thought the atmosphere was good and noisy right through .
I think they might need more songs tbf

They definitely made a fair bit of noise in the ground, even it was the same pointless annoying noise most the game
I think Sky kept the mikes away from the two main sets of 'singers' - especially the bit about Sky TV being ****
They were loud when the players came out and then nothing for the first 30 minutes. I commented on it at the half hour mark that they had finally started chanting/making noise.
Both sets of fans made plenty of noise after that and was nice to see the South-East corner and the West Upper starting chants too
I could hear our songs quite loudly, but the Milwall chant only came through briefly late in the game.
Did the Miiilllllllllll thing, tried no one likes us which City drowned out from both sides of them, City fans determined to do it well done everyone, did some cockney roll out the barrel sh!t about dirty northern bast@rds and we pay your benefits, nowt new, they love a hostile trip up norf really and they'll be louder at the Den.
The policing after the match has been ridiculous for a lot of this season, and I said last night that the rozzers flying around with blues and twos on before the match was just upping adrenaline levels unnecessarily. Does anyone know why they blocked off argyle street at the end and by the walkway before the match? A lot of very irate drivers stuck.
Plod can’t help the design of the stadium or the public access, but they can do a much better job of segregating fans if they feel that that’s what they must do. Shepherding everyone towards the pinchpoint of the top of the steps is just nuts. The obvious thing would be to make home fans walk through West Park to Anlaby Road, and use the walkway/argyle street route for away fans.
That would make my walk a hell of a lot longer so I’d only be in favour when there’s a large aways support with aggro tendencies. Most of the time the two sets of fans mix on the way back with no issues whatsoever. In fact you can have some quite civilised conversations with “the enemy” and end up wishing each other luck for the rest of the season.

It sounds like the start of 'old faithful' when they do thst droning noise. I kept thinking i was at a Hull FC game!
This is kind of my point, I think it's a position that will struggle due to how we play regardless of who plays there
I had a chat with two groups of Millwall fans pregame, who were great. I also had a brief chat with two guys after the game who were trying to get a taxi and didn't know the road names so I told them " junction of Walton St and Spring Bank West, by the level crossing" and they were very grateful. Walked back up Spring Bank West and so loads of cop cars with lights flashing but no agro.
I think Crooks has worked very well in the 10 as I said earlier. The only reason he isn't persisted with there is simply not having the personnel to sit deep in midfield (Amir and Collyer both injured) coupled with trying to fit all three of Millar, Belloumi and Gelhardt into the line up.
He has, but it's a pretty small sample size, how many times has he played there for a whole game? 2 or 3? so hard to know for sure
Thankfully I have no idea what Old Faithful sounds like. Never heard it in my life
At a glance he played a stretch of five in six games there early season from Leicester to QPR, picking up 2 assists. You could argue their categorisation of a couple of appearances as CF/SS as being the same 10 role (he got a goal and assists against Sheff Weds in this role), then more recently Cov and Sheff Utd, then Charlton. They also had him there for Milwall away and Boro at home (probably the one bad team performance when he was in that role).
