Philogene Morton Tufan. We looked unplayable for the first 20 minutes so don't know what happened after that. Hanging on a bit at the end when we should have been out of sight by halftime but that's the Championship. Absolute deadlock getting off the South Stand car park after the game and Walton Street looked the same. Total gridlock for an hour. Police cars and ambulances all over the place. Heard someone was attacked outside the Dugout Bar after the game, and heard of trouble outside St Stephens. Which is ridiculous when the police on duty virtually outnumbered the away fans. That aside, three points is three points.
His fast lay offs and dummies are some of the best traits in his game, turn us to defense to attack on a six pence then on top of thag for a supposed soft lad who doesn’t like the niggles he was very physical and quick today with a hostile press. Quality gritty false 9 performance.
1 ... Tufan never stopped hassling 2 ... Philogene goal normal service resumed 3 ... Coyle mr dependable. Strange game we ripped em to bits at times and then we had to dig in. Another 3 points in the bank.
Someone was being treated on the floor there straight after the game, but I doubt it was related to away fans. There weren't any there at the time, they were all penned in outside the away end still.
A few of those fast layoffs are when he gives it away in tight spaces. In terms of physicality and effort, he does run a lot these days and he is quite aggressive out of possession (he particularly likes a big shoulder barge when he can get a run up and smash the guy) but when he's got the ball himself he is very easily dispossessed, it happens a lot.
Philo Tuffers Morton! I wish Liam had brought on Doc about 20 minutes before he did. I will say it again, I DO get what LR is trying to do but with the passing back stuff, we actually snuff ourselves out and become passive. We allowed them back in after having 65% possession in the first half.
Tufan - Worked so hard Philogene - needs to improve end product Greaves- Solid Giles - new boy, he is going to become a favourite as is Zaroury. Not sure why Slater is getting so much grief. I watched a game where he picked bits up all over the pitch to keep things going. Funny how we see a game differently.
Tufan for his work rate Philogene Giles Frustrating 2nd half as with all this talent we reverted to passing it about across the back again. Early days and no doubt it will get better.
Anyone tho k Fabio seemed to dwell a bit and play simple balls a little slowly when we were trying to attack - might be unfair but a few times he slowed it .
Tufan - Duracell Bunny Philogene - Strong performance for his first game back. Morton - another solid game but the same could be said for the rest, no one had a bad game. I think people tend to forget that the other team do have a say in how a game pans out and Millwall had to change their system to try and stay in the game because we were looking like we were going to tear them a new one. What we have to do is figure out ways to break down teams that want to stop us from playing. Hopefully, once the new boys have settled in and with a much stronger and more versatile bench, we can find the way to do that.
Philogene Giles Tufan Honourables for Zaroury, Coyle, Jones, Greaves, Morton and the subs. Felt Slater was a little off it for him and Alsopp didn't have much to do but he kept them out when needed.
Five points for first choice, three for second, one for third. Tufan 152 Philogene 124 Greaves 31 Carvalho 19 Morton 19 Zaroury 14 Coyle 12 Allsop 12 Giles 5 Jones 4 Slater 4 The entire starting Eleven picked up points. Which is nice. Hard work and flair are wot won it though.
