Millwall at home match day thread

Just now, Bas's perfect hattrick said:

Towler lucky not to get sent off there. That was really poor

Wouldn’t say it was lucky. Would be awful refereeing to ignore the laws of the game and send him off 

[dREDful]

Wasn't good enough to start for Grimsby but we'll happily chuck him in here where it matters for us. 

We are academy dumbstruck at this club.

[BasSavage88]

Jesus that challenge was beyond thick 

[bexhill reds]

Not usually one for pessimism, but I suspect that’s game over. Least we don’t need to worry about the 89th and 90th minute now, all done by the 29th

How’s the penalty not a delayed take though, has clearly stopped rather than just slowed 

Yep. Poor from ref

I wonder if that’s a training thing, both Vyner and Tanner tend to come narrow and allow crosses into the box

I know, its just looks like they're lazy and give off a half attempt at blocking the cross. Wingers really don't have to work very hard to cross the ball into the box against us. It's been the same for years. 

Even with good defenders waiting in the box for the cross there's only so much they can do before one is perfect.

It would be 2-2 if Semenyo could shoot

Actually with Martin and Wells both on the bench, I get Cotts-like tactics from Nige by showing we aren't good enough up top and need a decent striker or two.....

Started most of his games for Grimsby

Towler looks much stronger and “street wise” so far. 

So this went well. 

[old_eastender]

Benarous not in the game much. 

[cityexile]

We are getting a bit ‘Peterborough’, in that going forward we are easier on the eye than the start of the season,, but soft as crap at the back now. Going to be punished at any level with this kind of defence.

[BCFC Grim]

People getting excited about all the academy products being played. It actually emphasis what a shit show SL has overseen since promotion to this league.

Ahwell. Hopefully the kids don't get too downhearted.

People all excited seeing academy. This is what you're goina get. They are not good enough.

Why is Towler playing ahead of Dasilva?

 

We are truly ******. If we have to clear out our senior team.

Because Dasilva is not a left sided centre back, and would be largely hopeless against a  crossing and heading team like millwall

He is lucky it was in the box or we would be down to 10 men for over an hour. Would rather be 1-2 down with 11 on the pitch.

Dasilva doesn’t play centre back so that’s why

People celebrating the fact we have all these academy players in the team….when the reality is it’s going to be the reason we go down 

Towler and O’Leary way out of their depth at the minute 

Our defending is pathetic 

Yep absolutely - a championship relegation battle with a team as soft as shite as this can do more harm than good for the younger players.

Get him off the pitch FFS. He's not ready and hasn't ever shown that he is. 

Highly predictable.

[054123]

Corr, these are 2 poor teams!

I thought he'd been benched for his last month or so there following poor form?

It’s not luck that he challenged him inside the box  rather than outside the box

Maybe Nigel is making a point to the board that he needs some reinforcements.. 

ala Cotts? I can work with that 

[Lordofthebling]

Ryley was looking good, but those two goals are literally park football standard.

I just had to double check the bench. Millwall at home and we are chucking Towler in? We got Atkinson on the bench??

Started 14 of his last 16 games there

I see it as lucky. He didn’t do it on purpose obviously because he was making that challenge either way. But lucky from our point of view it was in or we would be down to 10

Surely the response to that would be why haven't you picked the player we spent 1m on in the summer then?

[Eddie Notgetinya]

Out of interest did Afobe celebrate?

Maybe he should try another way rather then costing us games.

 

We have senior players sat on their arse.
