A bit of a rubbish result and a bit of a rubbish performance but it doesn't mean it's all down the drain. It just means we need to do better at Posh. I think he means in terms of effort and teamwork not the actual result. Quote Link to comment

Bris Red Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Some very poor individual performances. Obviously Bakinson had a shocker, he can be great going forward but he is complete liability when asked to track back and defend - it will cost you points over a season as I’m Pearson is well aware. I’m most angry/annoyed at O’dowda though, chance after chance has been given to him and he has shown time and time again he is not good enough. Has to be shipped out at the soonest opportunity IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment

Sums up our strikeforce for me. Nige said it will take time and until we get some quality in up front we'll carry on being frustrating to watch. We’ve got a quality centre forward - Nahki Wells ... 2 Quote Link to comment

As for being very good at this level, well it's a no for me. He’s a bit like Palmer, can be creative, but needs players behind him for when he invariably loses the ball. Forget about him tackling back or doing a full on defensive shift. Tonight he was really poor, needs a dressing room bollocking. 1 Quote Link to comment

Shame Conway injured, yes he’s raw but his energy would have offered so much more than anything else up front. Front players need service but the movement was statue like at times. Christ Britton is not fit enough but surely he could do half an hour in a game when Martin is dead on his feet? We were in no real danger against a poor Millwall side, but it was like last season after the pen and when Williams went off. We just lost any shape and drive. Lets hope we can get our act together for Peterborough on Saturday! of course he could, and he wouldn't pass up any good chances to score either. Quote Link to comment
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 3 minutes ago, Malago said: The highlight for me was Chris Martin, clean through on goal, doing a more than decent impression of the Harry Brown, the old sand dredger that use to chug up and down the Docks. The only good thing about tonight is you mentioning The Harry Brown- I truly loved that ship usually moored up in the Cumberland Basin. It did its job very well for many many years so I'm not quite sure of the Chris Martin reference. 1 Quote Link to comment
ollywhyte Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Didn’t mind the 3-5-2, it has potential. Pring in a back three looked natural. Would like to see Williams, James and Massengo as a midfield three. Give HNM that creative freedom. Wells now deserves his chance if fit. 3 Quote Link to comment
The Journalist Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I thought we were OK from the start of the second half until they scored. Completely lost our way after the goal, though, and played into their hands from that point onwards. I think we’ve won/drawn with the same level of performance so far this season. 1 Quote Link to comment

Bakinson average at best tonight but why O’Dowda got in the team is baffling, him yet again proving his perennial mediocrity. Hopefully the first choice players will be back soon. 2 Quote Link to comment

Nige isn't stupid and won't have the wool pulled over his eyes. Certain players will be digging their own graves. As others have said we are stuck with them for now and inconsistency and lack of quality costing us what should be relatively easy points will continue for a while yet. 3 Quote Link to comment

We needed a proven striker at the start of the season desperately and we didn’t get one. We lack any cutting edge up front. Absolutely hilarious comment. How many "proven" strikers were available in the last window and how many of them were in our price bracket? 2 1 Quote Link to comment
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 It was a game we should of got something out of as Millwall were no great shakes but the enforced subs did us no favours, or the mystery as why Wells was not on the bench. Still, not the end of the world and we move on the Peterborough Quote Link to comment

I don’t care if it goes high and wide, at least have a dig and give yourself a chance or scoring a goal. They both played well tonight. I don’t think Williams looked injured. Hopefully that’s just a bit of cramp or wrapping him up in cotton wool. Hope you are correct Quote Link to comment

CiderHeadDan Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 17 minutes ago, Engvall’s Splinter said: Patience very much the key here. Pearson knows it. Left with the likes of Palmer, O’Dowda, Bakinson to name but a few - these won’t have many takers if any at all. These are coasters. He needs a few windows for sure. Can't agree more. We have a lot of players who you want to shift as a manager but at the same time there are no takers. All i can say is I'm happy to give the fairly young (Bakinsons and Palmers) a chance for this year but would expect an upgrade next season if consistency doesn't improve. Quote Link to comment

Bodiesaffer Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Didn’t deserve that really. Guilty of not scoring when on top of the game tonight. When Joe is 100% with HMN back will be ok. Much improved from last season already. Final ball and not being clinical in front of goal was the problem tonight. 4 Quote Link to comment

AshtonRobin21 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Positives within that performance again. However, also a couple of discussion points. - Weimann and Martin look tired. - O'Dowda looks miles off the Pace, and his decision making is woeful. - Afobe looks like the profile of striker we are missing. Physical yet mobile, can come short or look for the through ball. - I felt Bakinson had the opportunity to bring down Saville on the half way line in the build up to the goal. - Jed Wallace joins the likes of Barry Bannan, Callum Robinson and Daniel Johnson by impacting the game each time he plays against us. Overall, I feel a draw would have been a fair result. 1 Quote Link to comment
David Brent Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Defended Martin all season, I can see what he brings to the team, but that was one of his worst games this season. Looked very different when Williams went off. Think we need a bit more in midfield than Bakinson/James. Disappointed but no point sulking about it. 3 Quote Link to comment
