What a treat this morning - Millwall vs. Bristol City live on US cable TV. First time this season that I have had the opportunity to watch us play and it was a good game.
Here's my thoughts on how we played:
The defence was a bit shaky at times to be honest. Nyatanga had a poor game - his distribution and general play were not up to par. Fontaine was generally solid but I have to fault him for the Millwall goal - too worried about turning around to the ref appealing for handball and absolutely no effort to block the cross that allowed the goal. It was almost a carbon copy of Carey against Stoke at the Autowindshield Trophy all those years back...Other than that one incident, he was okay. McGivern looked a good propsect and was tenacious in setting up the second goal. Skuse had a solid game.
Midfield played well. Elliott was fabulous in the work effort and Kilkenny had a great game. Cisse was solid all match. Pearson looks to be a good player - industrious and unlucky not to score. Would be a good signing from what I saw.
Adomah was immense apart from the ******ed booking he picked up. I hope Del berates him for that as it was ridiculous. Everyrtime he got the ball and ran with it I was on the edge of my seat. Maynard - great first goal and saw some good tracking back when we need it.
Overall it made for a very happy start to the day out here. Pity the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could not also oblige...
Happy Days may just be around the corner. I hope that Fox Sports Canada took the game so Mike could see it as well?
