I can see Harris' reason for fielding a team of second rate players and preserving his 'best' team for the clash with Cardiff, BUT , A a lot of people paid good money to travel away and see their team play and, possibly, win. They didn't get that chance did they? If I were in the UK and had paid to see this game I would seriously give a lot of thought to asking the club for a refund. Millwall aren't in a position to challenge for promotion and one loss wouldn't make a lot of difference to our position on the league ladder. By the same token we aren't going to win the FA Cup either, but if we had won yesterday, a home game against Spurs would have been a bonus, plus the travelling fans would not have wasted their money. Please remember, Mr Harris, Millwall is a FOOTBALL CLUB first and a business second. Now, onwards and upwards!!
ROCHDALE SEASON OVER IN FEB SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTING IT,SEASON ALWAYS FINISHES AFTER YOUR CUP FINAL
Correct Paul as we played Reading last, you're low on our list of concerns. As for seasons finishing early new year, Leeds from Jan 1st every year but you started earlier this season even by your standards.
How can our have finished before yours,we are well above you Or do you mean your relegation battle is still alive
When i got there on tuesday night after crawling along the M62 for a hour and a half I was relieved the game was still on more than anything, met a few mates in the Radcliffe Arms next to the ground and then saw the team come up on sky sports news, pretty much the same team that nearly lost it in the first game, i made the comment that the subs bench was stronger but you can only use three of them!! A lot has been made about the pitch and yes it was bad but for the last two seasons we've been in league 1 where there are many other terrible pitches, so we should be used to it. The first half was no more than a scrap with one particular Rochdale player eager to take Elliott's shirt of his back, obviously holding and shirt pulling in the goal area is acceptable now. The second half was slightly better but we still only had one tame effort on target and got what we deserved ....nothing. I'm used to defeats but this hurt due fielding a weakened team, a lack of ideas and no passion, it would had been a lot easier to take had we peppered the Rochdale goal with shots that saw the keeper have the game of his life, the post and bar being struck and a few efforts cleared of the line by their defenders, at least we would of had a go. I suggest the next time the team has a break in the sun when there is a free week they go somewhere that caters for beach football just in case we play someone from the lower leagues with a **** pitch.
Now, now Paul as you always crash and burn new years and history is a weed subject after all. By well above us, 6 points is hardly steaming clear lol but nice to know your only ambition is to finish above a pub team. Oh you're relying on a new manager bounce, good luck with that as you've had enough new managers in recent times lol.
Of the top of my head 1987/88,1988/89 but I don't want to go on about the good old days or i'll start sounding like a Leeds fan
Big win? They bottled it after their first, and only, goal. I think Harris could have brought Cahill on a bit earlier, 90 minutes and injury time was asking a bit much for him to show what he could do.
