pongo88 Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 I haven’t got the confidence of others that Millwall and Sheffield Utd are an easy route to the quarter finals. Matches such as Luton were, on paper, easy matches but it didn’t work out that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see us getting by Millwall either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Luton away was never a particularly easy game, who thought it would have been likely to be? In recent weeks they had beaten Norwich, Preston and drawn with Bournemouth. Millwall however have a ropey home record- I say ropey, more quite meh. Skimread the Championship table when I heard the draw and: P11 Won- 1 Drew- 7 Lost- 3 Scored- 9 Conceded- 12 Don't expect a thriller but clearly the lack of fans has hit them quite hard. They're comfortably better away from home- but then sides with a relatively reactive gameplan and a raucous fanbase, it's not maybe a great surprise. We also have a rather strong recent record vs Sheffield United- 4 League games they've been under Wilder, we won 3 and lost one- including twice up there.

Prinny Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 A truly miserable draw with no exciting incentive is what I'd say if we could go. An excellent chance to progress however. But do we even want the extra games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side our staff know all about them and it could also give game time to one or two players returning from injury or loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinmans Love Child Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Surprised anyone cares about the draw to be honest, even if we got a big team, nobody can go and watch anyway, our best option is getting perceived easier draws so we stay in the cup for longer with a chance that fans might be able to be allowed back in later in the season, although I’m doubtful that will happen again this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 It's a dull unexciting draw and a tough game but with no glamour but nonetheless the draw sent a bit of a tingle down my spine, simply because Millwall v Bristol City is the last game I attended in person pre-lockdown...

We went for the simplest game plan I have used in ages and I picked a team to implement it. Bristol City have struggled against physical sides and our aim was to get the ball forward early and win the second balls. "I took a gamble after our defeat at Middlesbrough and highlighted what I saw as a lack of honesty in the performance. That was totally unlike us and the players responded perfectly. "When we work as hard as we did, we are a very tough team to beat. Of course, there is massive relief after so long without a win, but they weren't all poor performances."

It seems to me that, rather than criticising City or, especially, Dean Holden and his tactics, Rowett was just simply recognising that City are not a strong, physical side (no secret to us) and instructing Millwall to go long and make sure they win the second ball. If Mawson, Kalas and Bakinson are all fit and available, I don't think a win is beyond our capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta Yeah it started out as a freebie with BT Broadband, then went up to a fiver a month which was still reasonable but then the cost shot up. We stuck with it for a while but found we were never watching it so got rid. At least I`ll be able to get radio commentary on this one as it`s a cup game.

I’d like to see some of our benchwarmers like Riley Towler a defender who scores goals , given a go. As Millwall won’t have seen him play they won’t know what to expect, and we can see if their ‘simplest game plan’ works this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
