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

As always with RLB our opinion means very little …

… we may not always agree with him but what he’s doing with this squad is beyond anything but reasonable criticism.

 

Absolutely. To be where we are at this stage of the season is amazing, in some ways this game is a free hit and one we are well capable of taking advantage of, its intriguing to say the least. Cant wait . OaU

 

Can’t see more than 1 goal in this game.

 

Browne broken bone in leg 6-8 weeks
Mundle hamstring 6-8 weeks

Patterson is back

Sounds like Aouchiche and Ba might be involved (he didn't mention them by name, but suggested there are players who haven't played yet this season but know the system and have played before etc)

Aouchiche and Ba are in the 1st team group. Ready for selection. Confirmed by RLB

Won't give away formation hints.

Barnes wibbling on about Ted Lasso now FFS

 

big test of our squad over next couple of months then. I'll be honest, I'm not confident.

 

**** me Barnes is abysmal

 

Gutted about mundle great chance for Watson though

 

Roberts, Jobe and Hume back for WBA game. Alese and Patterson back too.
Some tough games ahead of course but I'm confident we'll still be in the mix

 

It's in the chance creation I think we will fall down. I'm just not convinced in the likes of Ba, Aouchiche, Isidor (on wing) or Watson (yet) in creating what we need. Hope I'm wrong obviously

 

Agree there

I think we’ll be 5th or 6th come January but I’d be content with that.

 

I don't understand why nobody is asking about Samed. Last update we had was "after the next international break". And that's where we are now. I'm not expecting him to suddenly be available on Saturday as will take time, but would be nice to get an update.

 

Me too. I just hope that morale is still high amongst players and fans as we shouldn't be going into panic stations if we start slipping down to where we were expecting to be anyway.

 

December wasn’t it? Hopefully early December because we definitely need him

 

Not wanting to derail RTBs thread but those 3 will be like coiled springs for the WBA game, Jobe will have been missing for over 3 weeks, he will be fresh as paint and ready for a big 2 games in West Brom & Sheff Utd

 

Is it right that we play almost quarter of a season's worth of games in the next couple of months?

 

9 league games in the next 5 weeks. So yes I'd expect its right.

 

Yep. We play 14 league games before the end of January. An FA Cup fixture too, we’ll be stretched

 

He said "after the next international break" and then everyone assumed that means December as will need time to get up to speed.

Now its after the international break and Barnes has asked about Aji Alese, Antony Patterson and ****ing Ted Lasso, but not a player that plays in a position we desperately need filling.
