I don't usually moan about the ref, but this one was a homer. Our 3 yellow cards were wrong, and when he paced out the 10 yards for their wall he took tiny paces, and their wall was only about 7 or 8 yards out. Their RB got away with so many fouls before eventually getting booked.
Apologies to HRH, but I have just got back from the game via a kebab house in Lewisham. The usual treat as the end of being kept in for 40 mins to allow the Millwall fans to take their positions up. A 5.5 out of 10 performance today. Solid at the back. Tidy in the middle. Lots of side ways passes. No real movement. No goal threat whatsoever. Great support throughout from our end. Still think it is 50/50 us staying up unless we get a couple of attacking players in on loan.
I had to do my sons homework so missed the game , but I am delighted with a point. I would have bit your knackers off a week ago for that result.
Agreed, but there is no "next" unless we get someone else in on loan, and you know our success record with doing that. Well, there is Parzyszek, but that is looking increasingly fishy. Nothing has been said about an injury, and in the middle of his non-appearances for Charlton (not even on the bench), he managed to play 80 minutes of a match for Poland u-21s. I wonder if he has deeper-seated health problems (and that could be a euphemism) which scotched his proposed transfer to Benfica? (That could be the explanation of the mysterious transfer of Alnwick, too). If not that, perhaps the whole thing is some financial/fiscal/contractual fiddle?
Shame the ref today was Phil Dowd so being in the Premier League usually he probably thought it was all about him
True, but Millwall were a better side last season. LOL. Some of us cannot "move on" after losing Kermorgant. Only you cannot "move on" after losing Smith. Or did you mean Sho-Silva?
One of the very rare occasions when I agreed with anything Vol posted was when he derided Powell for excusing one defeat by saying it was "a game too far" when we were barely half-way through the season. My thinking is that you should never give your players an excuse to lose. Now we get this from Riga: ""My thought is that we physically were still feeling the effects of the game that we had at home on Wednesday ... Certainly for me our game in the week had an effect." Is this guy aware of our fixture list? Two games a week for the rest of the season. If we cannot handle it now, what will it be like a few games down the line when we are facing opponents who have had a full week's rest and our already thin squad has suffered further depletions? How will we fare when we have to start games with the likes of Nego, Thuram, Fox, Green and Cook? That day is not far off.
Polish Pete has played in the last two U21 games, so he is not injured. He is poor and I think that Michael Smith is better than him. Anil KOC also is no better than what we have in our academy.
Smith's a big strong boy. Without him or Kermit all our attacking players are easily brushed off the ball.
