    Well done to NP for correcting his mistakes at half time, a sign of a good manager ;)

    Tbf Supcon Millwall brought most on themselves 2nd half sitting back and content to waste time.
    As I said earlier fair play to Massengo who certainly livened up our performance. The commentator said he hasn't scored in 78 appearances, it's a funny old game.

    Although it would be nice, it's not his job......and if he did, we wouldn't be able to afford him..

    Sign of a good manager, is starting with his best available team, especially with the results we've had at late and how low we are in the championship..

    Because the performance was pretty dreadful throughout most of the game, wasn't even close to the QPR game.IMO, which was down to setup and team selection...Our first goal was a mistake by their keeper to give us the lead..... But it slightly improved with the changes and out of nothing, Massengo's cross that created Weimann's 2nd goal turned the game around.

    I said at half time Towler and Benarous needed to come off.
    Got the subs spot on-changed the dynamics of the game :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Don’t you blame those players mind-give it to NP
    Who got the subs spot on today-completely changed the dynamics off the game.
    Chatting to Millwall fan after the game he said the NO 42 is some player we could not deal with him.

    If we were dire, Millwall were worse, the stats show we were ahead in virtually every single stat, I would say at this moment in time points are more important than performances and you are right the 2nd goal did turn the game, but it looked as though if we got that goal we were the more likely to go on and win, the cross for that goal was probably the first cross and only cross that never hit the first defender all game. We deserved to win the game and we did and had 7 academy products given a chance for a change.

    And now it’s getting better playing less of the regulars from 2 years ago, there’s a surprise.

    I don’t see the love, what I see is 2 performances one very good ruined by a shocking referee and although not a great performance today certainly a committed performance by 11 players who gave a ****.

    I think it would most midfielders would have scored after 78 appearances but at least he has broken his assist duck.
    Scott has scored 3 + an assist in 21 games. How much must he be worth?

    The difference between me and most fans who display man love for a manager is, in all my years of support I cannot recall a single manager who did not deserve the sack when it happened at BCFC and that would include the present manager if it happened now.
    My question would be what/who next when (as I truly believe) they to fail with many of our present squad?

    You think Scott is a better player than Massengo?

    Where did I say that? I am saying that he is younger than Massengo and has already scored 3 goals and has an assist to his name, that is a fact and you like facts.
    You believe that Massengo should be given a free role, I believe that Scott would be more productive in a free role, I see Massengo as a defensive midfielder, because of his power of recovery and ability to win the ball back especially when chasing back + his unique engine perfect for a defensive midfielder ala Kanteesque.

    I never said you did....You made a comment of Scott's worth, when the subject was about Massengo..So I asked the question.....
    I would pick Massengo in front of Scott all day long...I believe most decent mangers would do the same!!

    I would pick them both but in the roles I believe suits their skill sets best and I believe most decent managers would do the same.

    Especially one being played in his best position at last.
    I like the fact that ODowda is not hiding and puts in a shift especially defensively, but today he offered zero threat and was never really in the game offensively, he could do with somebody to challenge his place.

    The last 2 performances were a long way from good, they were just better than the $hite that we had served up before.

    Better than when 7 regulars from 2 years ago were being selected?
    Rejoice we are back in in heady heights of 14th place.
