They’re going to take a bit of time to heal. They look deep, that’s the problem with modern stud shapes. It wouldn’t have happened if the Millwall player was wearing Copas.
It’s wasn’t meant to be an admission of Walter’s hard fortune. Difference is now we don’t give up easy chances through suicidal play so we will get more smash and grabs
If we'd conceded a dodgy OG today instead of scoring one I wonder what the assessment of the performance would have been.
I think you hit the nail on the head when you said skillful. Millwall fans like **** footballers that can lump it and kick crap out of the oppsition
Selles said that Coyle twisted his ankle in addition to the cut. The way he is I doubt he'll let the cut make him miss a game, bad as it is. Hopefully the twist hasn't caused any lasting damage because that's what could put him out for weeks.
That's what I would call a good away performance, hardly gave them a sniff, and got the bit of luck you need sometimes with the goal. Though, Pedro presences certainly created the error. Slater had a good game, he certainly carries the ball well and at pace, and both Alzate & Puerta are turning into an influential pair in midfield. Add Crooks to that when he is up to speed and that will look a very good midfield trio. Jones/Burns/McLaughlin as well as Drameh operated the back line really well, Jones is getting back to his best and Burns didn't look out of place. Both Burstow and Kamara didn't effect the game as much as I would have hoped, but Pedro works his socks off and generally has a great touch. Gelhardt look lively when he came on, Crooks just didn't have enough time to get into the game, but I thought Amrabat saw the game out well, drew one or two fouls which slowed the game down and stifled their momentum. That bit of experience can be helpful when seeing a game to a positive conclusion. Well, 3 points and a clean sheet, what's not to like, and the 1600 supporters certainly got behind the team and went away happy.
Alzate was playing a different game to everyone else. Most players around 60% pass completion rate. Alzate 82%
Looking back to yesterday getting three points was massive. It’s so close now at the bottom and looking at the table and form for me anyone from 24th Plymouth right up to 17th Millwall is in danger of going down. We really need to drag some of these further into it. Long way to go still but games soon come and go, QPR won last three so another tough very important home game coming up. We really need to get something out of it to and having some consistency at this stage of the season is vital.
I managed to back Millwall to go down last night at 20. Their next games are Cardiff, Luton, Portsmouth, QPR and Plymouth. Like us they'll playing for their lives and can definitely see them getting dragged deeper. Plus they just sold their goalscorer Esse to Palace and replaced him with Connoly.
What shinnies is he wearing? Maybe players should go back to wearing proper ones, strapped on and with ankle protection instead of these things that are the size of an old shriveled bar of soap. Annoys me. Do they think it makes the look hard cos it's usually the players rolling around and screaming like fannies that wear them. Not a dig at Coyle.
