  7. Millwall at home match day thread

    in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive

    Posted · Edited by MelksRed

    This is beginning to feel dire. We have no formal mid-field and just keep getting pulled from pillar to post. 

    I genuinely cannot see where our opportunities are going to come from....Millwall will come out and park the bus, frustrate us and then hope to capitalise on a quick counter. 

    AS is not a striker.....he's often behind COD and AW......can't score if you're not in contention. Equally should have done better on the clear cut opportunity he had....that would ha e made the game an entirely different prospect. 

    In short one step forward (despite the loss to QPR) and two back. 

    Going to be a long second half. 

  10. Are we not taken seriously?

    For weeks I have watched teams come to AG with a good pedigree noting that some are still dining out on history rather than current form. 

    As such I am left wondering if we are genuinely not taken seriously by other clubs and (more importantly) match officials. I wholeheartedly appreciate that the referees verdict is final but genuinely believe we would benefit from VAR in this league. Be seemingly have had a run of decisions at key moments of a number of games that have resulted in losses or draws. 

    I appreciate that we have to be inward looking and appreciate that we are responsible for the losses etc......I don't see these types of contentious decisions when watching other Championship games on the TV.

     

    Not a ref beating nor a feeling sorry for ourselves post.....just wonder if others share my (probably off the mark) viewpoint.  

  11. Huddersfield Town at home match day thread

    At risk of getting abuse:

    1. I thought that we had a few spells of positive forward play - nice one touch football.

     

    2. Still have an over reliance on going down the right. (Try the bloody left every so often).

    3. Mid-field is often in absentia as Massengo tends to follow the ball a little.

    4. We break positively but do so quickly - resulting in running out of both steam and ideas once we get on the edge of the box. 

    5. Clearly SL doesn't pay goal bonuses and fines players for having a crack from outside the Box.....

    6. Still a little over reliant on route one (over the top). We rarely win the first ball let alone the second.....better to play out from the back. 

    7. Still have to many defensive minded players.....tend to play backwards when there is a forward option.....maybe down to lack of confidence in case of error.

    8. Bents pen save was good - not sure he could have done anything about the goals.....

    9. We are unlikely to watch the team again this year / early next  due to COVID.

    10. The Jan transfer window will send people on here into a spin as we won't have much (if any activity). 

    11. All in all....a disappointing result, lacklustre performance but some emerging football....glimpses......not yet consolidated

  23. Vyner: no longer interested?

    in Football Chat

    Watching the game yesterday there were a couple of times that Vyner stepped away from his man to enable them to attack. That (and the fact that he seemingly watched as much of the game as I did at times) suggests that he no longer has any interest in being here.....thoughts?
