Match Day Thread Millwall v Hull City

Terry needs to turn this around and quick. 3 losses on the spin. Is he going to be Phil Parkinson or Phil Brown ? Well thought if young coach with all the knowledge but can't see he has to adapt his teams tactics and formation. 8goals conceded, 5 scored in 5 games.
Sort that defence and midfield out or we're going to be in trouble!!

Hull City had not expected captain Eric Lichaj to return from injury until after the international break

Millwall winger Jiri Skalak will miss his side's Championship game with Hull City after injuring his ankle and heel in last week's loss at Fulham.

Jed Wallace is likely to replace the Czech Republic international after completing a three-match ban.

Hull midfielder Dan Batty will not travel after injuring his ankle in their Carabao Cup defeat by Preston.

Manager Grant McCann does have captain Eric Lichaj back, with the USA defender recovering from a hamstring injury.

Match facts

• Millwall are winless in three home league games against Hull (W0 D2 L1), though they won an FA Cup tie at the Den last season against the Tigers.
• Hull have only lost one of their last six league games against Millwall (W3 D2 L1), a 1-2 defeat in March 2018 at the KC Stadium.
• Millwall have not scored more than once in any of their last 12 league games, netting seven goals in the process.
• Hull City have won just once in their last 10 league matches, losing on six occasions (D3).
• Millwall have completed fewer passes (693) and averaged less possession (29%) than any other Championship team this term.
• Hull's Kamil Grosicki (30) has had a hand in the most shots in the Championship this season, attempting 19 and setting up 11.

It's doable if he tightens us up at the back.

Tell Bowen to play as a right midfield not a right winger!! Give kamil a free role.

City 2-1

 

need to go back to 442 formation we played last year

 

The system isn't working
We will get beat tomorrow and again next week.
Defensively we are not strong enough and we don't have the quality across midfield.

 

That's the spirit.

Singing we all follow the Dennis

 

It's ok though we will both be at the game tomorrow supporting the lads like always hey Balkan.

 

Don't forget to feed all the details into the database.


To end this right here before it goes right off track (got to keep Chazz's excellent match day threads on topic) It was a joke, some time back Dennisboothstash said he always expected the worse then whatever the result it would be ok and many times much better than expected. A number of posters saw how it could be a good philosophy to follow.

 

This was a struggle. They haven't played in Millwall since 1910.

Millwall was named after some windmills on a 'wall' which was a mud embankment to keep the river off the swamp. The other notable landmark seems to be a Black wall. It's now yuppieville.

Formed by tinsmiths at J.T. Morton’s Canning and Preserve Factory and prophetically called Millwall Rovers, with a HQ in The Islander pub. They then became Millwall Athletic, but dropped the suffix, presumably for trade description reasons.

The blue and white kit and Lion motif is a nod the the jockanese roots of Mr Morton.

Erm..the SS Great Britain was built and launched there.

I guess that's why the emigrated to Bermondsey, whose name means "dry bit in a swamp" and is the setting for Fagin and Bill Sykes in Oliver Twist.

Wee Willie Harris, known as "Britain's wild man of rock 'n' roll", came from Bermondsey and had worked as a pudding mixer at Peek Freans. He is usually credited as the first British rock and roll player.

The schoolkids in Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick in the Wall' are from a Bermondsey School.

82% of the residents live in flats or maisonettes and over 30% of the kids are obese.

Given this, it's no surprise to read The Sunday Times named Bermondsey 'the best place to live in London in 2018'.

 

They're team is ****, they’re fans are ****, they’re club is ****. They’re one big pile of **** slaver. **** ‘em.

Watch out for the gramma police Ben

 

I thought we looked stronger defensively last week with Stewart at LB in second half. Put Lichaj at RB. Burke and De Wijs in the middle. Keep Magennis on the left, Kamil free role in the middle, Eaves on left. Go 4-3-3 with Bowen, Irvine, and Lopes in mid-field.

Lichaj, Burke, De Wijs, Stewart

Nothing wrong with the grammar, just the spelling. Seems it is catching.

 

Millions will be glued to their radios in Africa and Asia as the Lions take on the Tigers. Unlimited sponsorship opportunities.

 

Watching Cardiff v Fulham
I’ll be worried how we’ll do against either of them!!

 

Apologies if I seem pedantic, but the first sentence in your last post lacks a verb.

 

The Wall millions wearing surgical masks and flat caps.

 

Hopefully none of ours will be wearing tiger suits.

 

It is a sentence fragment. It is spelt correctly and finished with a full stop.

 

But lacks a verb, so it's not a sentence.

 

Look it up.
