daored Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Anybody else worried about this game? A team on the up, full of confidence , and generally start games quickly, with a number of early goals in games. We need to be up for a fight and if we play like we did today and Saturday could be a very comfortable home win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 To be honest, we are nowhere near good enough. Difficult to look at one game in isolation, but we were simply awful today. In some ways would rather we lose now, forget about the play offs, and just concentrate on trying to play some football again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Concede the match now and avoid the embarrassment. We've avoided relegation which was the aim this season. We've more points than last season. MA didn't want promotion this year. So all in all, its been a successful campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 By Friday I will probably have convinced myself play offs are still on. Followed by further disappointment on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing LJ is here for the long haul he can then start next season's preps. The bust up with players, if true, beautifully timed for that to happen. Meanwhile we mere mortal fans are expected to buy a season ticket at an increased price, put up and damn well shut up. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 After 50 odd years of pain with this club, Millwall is exactly the sort of game where we could stand up and surprise a lot of people. We are at a low and they are flying certain defeat for us then......well ask Man City/Utd. Whatever team the clueless one puts out they just MAY decided to stand up and fight for themselves...if not the club......then again its also possible they may decide to give up/lie down and get steam rollered; either could happen and LJ may get no say in which BC decide to turn up....if they turn up at all that is.

Difficult to look at one game in isolation, but we were simply awful today. Except it's not one game, about 3 months and 3 wins in 18 isn't it. Plus we have had 10 shots at goal with 2 on target in the last 2 games, while Barnsley and Brentford have had 50 shots at our goal, 15 on target. That is nothing short embarrassing . Millwall are a different type of side to Brentford, but where Brentford kept the ball well and passed our MF off the park, Millwall will work their socks off and stop us from getting and foothold in the game. I think it will be closer next week but we may not be as lucky as today, really the score could be anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shots against is frightening. First thing I'd do if I was LJ (apart from apologise for today which he hasn't done?!) is make sure he sorts the defence and shape out.

reddogkev Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 At the moment this looks like a certain Millwall win. Doesn't really matter though, we're not good enough to go up this season, there's not a chance now we'd win the play-offs if we somehow ended up in the top 6.

Absolutely , they seemed to be able to get into shooting positions at will today. I think a lot comes from the midfield or lack of, I'd go with a 3 moving Brownhill more central and have Pack as the anchor. I don't think LJ will do that, but something needs to be done and soon. Not so much for this season but next, if we carry this form over we could be in real trouble next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe bring in a couple of brickies and build brick up the goalmouth. Might be our only hope... I shall be attending a party next w/e and will not bother checking the score until well after the match, and even then, more out of routine than in expectation.

Give him a full pre season and I think he will start to show a bit. The choice of midfield today was odd, why LJ thought putting a young kid in CM 2 against a good footballing side made sense I'll never know.

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I would like to see LJ throw a curveball for this. Millwall are better without the ball...their results do show this, no doubt about it. This will probably get a few 'rubbish' or 'confused' reactions, but Millwall like I say...better without a majority of possession. We go there, with a 4-3-3 or similar- and we 'let' them have the ball. Give them an issue they haven't really faced at this level- we sit deeper than usual, albeit still technically good (Brownhill Smith Pack) as a 3...security and possession. We can challenge them to break us down a bit, new problem... Opening up space for us on the break. At home with the emphasis to push high too...I think it could cause them real difficulties.
