Jerseybean Posted September 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 First half observations A fairly even half although Millwall bossed the opening 15 minutes and looked lively / dangerous. We then got into the game a bit more without ever really threatening We had a huge let off on 31 minutes when Afobe should have buried it and he had another decent chance on the cusp of half-time Our passing has - yet again - generally been poor Baker’s substitution on half an hour a concern They have delivered some dangerous corners Ref has had a great half, he’s let the game flow and been almost invisible Pretty vanilla half from us, with no memorable moments Jay has delivered a couple of decent crosses, hopefully the knock he picked up just before half-time isn’t serious Quote Link to comment

cityexile Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Just felt like a mid table scrap between two well matched sides. Both had spells, ours in the middle of the half, Bents having to make the better saves. Benik looking the most likely here to get one. Not much in it, crying out for a bit of quality.

Malago Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Two bang average teams playing out a mediocre game. One bit of quality, or more likely a mistake, decides it. 3 Quote Link to comment
westonred Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Mitrovic is making up for all the misses he made on Saturday he has a 1st half hat trick tonight Quote Link to comment

Engvall’s Splinter Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 That is very much a performance I’ve become accustomed too. Quote Link to comment
tin Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Not a lot in that first half. Weimann had the best chance, seizing upon a missed header which put him clean through on goal and he failed to get a shot off. Bentley made a couple of good saves to thwart Afobe. Impressive 45s for both Williams and Dasilva; Martin and Bakinson both watching the game pass by. Pring in the back three is a concern, but I’d have Wells and Palmer on pretty sharpish IMO. It’s there for the taking. Edited September 29, 2021 by tin 1 Quote Link to comment
Curr Avon Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Played well in patches with Baks delivering good passes to Weimann, Martin and DaSilva. Far too many crosses into the City box and we definitely lost concentration following Bakers substitution, ball watching to allow Afobe a one-on-one. However, good shape, and solid tackling, but need to be far better in possession. Quote Link to comment
keflav Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Wow a particularly boring first half 2 teams who just don't want to lose... Bakinson is the most frustrating player ever his languid play just infuriates me, he needs a kick up the ass... Game is calling out for wells pace up front... 3 Quote Link to comment
JamesBCFC Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Not a lot in it. Millwall bossed the opening. Williams and Tanner were slow to get up to pace. Tanner improved, and City improved as Williams grew into the game. Our best spell saw Bakinson have the ball often, possibly would do better with Palmer in his place. Quote Link to comment
RedRock Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Satisfactory. Doing well at the back, Bents superb, Atkinson very good. Need to be sharper up front. Bakinson silky smooth but for a guy of decent height and strength needs to do a lot more work on his heading (in)abilities. Quote Link to comment

Sturny Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Maybe Bakinson off for Wells? We're getting the ball in the area loads just nothing much is really coming from it. Quote Link to comment

Ivorguy Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Vast improvement on recent seasons. We look a team and not a set of individuals, plus better tempo. We all know, along with NP, that we need a striker. Let’s hope January. 3 Quote Link to comment

CiderHider Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I wonder if the players notice the workrate of Han missing today, i kept looking for him on the pitch and he wasn't there, must have been worse for the players 2 Quote Link to comment
Davefevs Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 A bit disappointed with our lack of quality at times. Millwall aren't that good, we are surrendering possession too easily at times. Would be very tempted to replace Bakinson with Wells and move Weimann into the left midfield role. We are a bit deep, and this means James is deep to screen, and therefore their midfield has a bit too much time. Can get us 5-10 yards further up and then we feel joined-up. 3 Quote Link to comment
