    I’m not sure the manager has it in him personally

    ‘really going for teams’ just isn’t RLB

    Expecting more of the same tbh. Slow predictable build up and scared to change things

    We shall see…

    Feels like bloody ages since we last played, but that’s a good thing as we needed a reset.

    just hope we come out firing and blow this lot away, irrespective of who plays / the line up

    get em fired up Reggie and cut the head off the snake early doors

    RLB:
    Cirkin, Hjelde & le Fee not available.
    Like the supporters we were tired & angry after the Coventry game
    It wasn't a great feeling, we were angry and disappointed.
    We have shown good reactions after defeats, we have had more ups than downs, we have the resources to react
    We built strong foundations with our 433 structure, we can change the dynamic of the team
    Millwall are a strong team and well organised, we have to play our best football
    Aleksic has good qualities, it is important to play for his national team, he will have opportunities here
    We will be punished if we are not at our best, we have to take a view of the whole season not just the last few games
    Our performances have been below our best level but we need to go again
    Automatics are still possible but we would need mistakes from our opponents
    It will be high tempo, high intensity on Saturday
    Rigg is well connected with Sunderland, no official contact from other clubs regarding players
    We have to focus on our pillars to get ready and face new challenges
    Game plan - after every game we have a full analysis to improve our play, we have to focus on the direct play from Millwall and using the low block

    Disappointing but it means opportunities for others. Seelt for definite.

    Seelt at CB and O'Nien at LB. Disappointing that we are back to a threadbare squad, desperate for Le Fee, Ballard and Hjelde to be back.

    Cirkin only being out for 3 more weeks is a positive. Looked a lot more serious than that.

    I keep forgetting Samed. Might he make his next appearance in the play off final? A last 10 sub to see us over the line 1-0 against Leeds? He will make 25 tackles, 15 intercerption and a last minute red card for slide tackling Farke. Cult hero :1980_boogie_down:

    In fairness I have started liking it a bit more now that we have so many players called up, really enjoyed tuning in to some of the england u19/u20/u21 games and some of the foreign lads too.

    Bollocks with it, lets go with a back 3 and all out attack. Hume had a slight knock anyway so why risk him from the start.

    That's the only positive, but being selfish, I would prefer to watch them playing for SAFC any day of the week.<ok>.

    Browne Neil Jobe Mundle
    Rigg
    Mayenda Isidor

    I know this probably won't happen but I think i'd go with something like that. Browne has played a decent amount at right wing back for both Preston and Ireland, Hume often plays as a CB in a 3 for Northern Ireland and has played there for us. Mundle gets up and down enough for me to think he could do a job there for a game.
