Match Day Thread Millwall Away

Aaargh.... Not again

 

Need our subs to have a similar impact.

According to Sky we've hit the woodwork twice today. Just need to stroke of luck from somewhere.

Another set piece conceded from via a header it seems

 

Half right in my prediction

• Two goals from us to get me the rest of the points

 

Looks like we're starting to get on top on terms of possession again but still nothing on target.

 

So unlucky then pathetic defending - we’re unable to defend balls in. Dare I say it we miss the likes of Morrison Flint etc

 

Makes you start to wonder if we will offer Morrison a contract when he's fit?

Could definitely do with that bit of height and just sheer determination.

Kipre and Ng have been decent but it's getting slightly concerning how many headers we are conceding from.

 

Ralls and Whyte on for Sawyers and Philogene.

That's my prediction stuffed.

 

WE GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!

A shot on target

 

We just don’t get players into the opposing final third. And when we do it never falls for us

 

Well, that's fecked it....

 

Anyone worried

 

Nahhhh. We'll turn it around.

Seems like we are playing ok, just need to be more ruthless.

 

So, another disappointing day at the office.

Still confident we'll click soon and go on a bit of a run but there are a couple of concerning stats again today.

Shots on target yet again. You'd normally expect 1 in 3 on target.

Ariel duels are really poor. Are we really so much weaker in the air now??

It did sound like we were a tad unlucky today but hopefully we turn things around in the next few games.

 

From what I saw on my link here abroad was a performance lacking a plan going forward and defensively poor in the air.

Insufficient pressure in the opposing half rather just a few forays and yes we hit the post twice and had a few nearly moments - more than MFC did - but we are just not doing that enough for prolonged periods.

And our defending high balls in is now a serious issue to be competently addressed.

Obviously the players to a man have the ability but I’m seriously beginning to question the coaching and player management.

Another point - have we too many players for the same position meaning SM just doesn’t know his best team/formation?

So yes I am worried. The table never usually lies after 10 games and Coventry possibly are in a false position.

 

I know they have some games in hand, but Coventry’s position isn’t that false, 1 win and 4 defeats is a very poor start. Even if they win 2 of their games in hand they remain in the bottom 3. A long season ahead for them on this early season form, same for Huddersfield.

 

4th bottom. Bite your hands off now. We are terrible.

 

I was so confident from the start but the fast counter attacks have slowed and to play the ball in the air is suicide. Ng and Kipre have done well but losing 3 games 2-0 is a big worry in defence. Morrison is paying the price for playing Watters to start every game, failing to stop playing balls in the air and failing to make sure the players play at pace forward. It is hard to believe this group of players cannot win a game. Is there no end to this nightmare.

 

You make your own luck.

We don't.

I've seen enough in 60 years of football to be worried.

After another soft defeat confidence in the team will be at a low ebb and we know where that takes us.
