Millwall away match thread

[Rossi the Robin]

They are all playing for the shirt no doubt - good shift against an in form at home millwall team. Well done

Looks like Millwall's big screen is showing the game.

Why don't we do that at Ashton Gate?

We used to when the redevelopment first happened- now it just seems to be goals and or key incidents. 

[Malago]

Defended well.  Vyner MotM.  Could have nicked it.

Good point.

[One Team]

Much improved, solid at the back and created enough chances to nick a win as well. I was watching Millwall TV and they thought we should've won. 

[And Its Smith]

See @Davefevs I’m very happy with the second half. We did everything we did in the first half BUT we passed it better and created some very good chances.  Different expectations I guess but there you go. Opinions and expectations.  

[bexhill reds]

Good solid performance given the pressure and the style of team we were playing. Another night and Wiemann with his shooting boots on then we have a couple. Found a line up that works I think, start with Wells instead of TC, very pleasing all things considered 

[spudski]

Good battling performance. Defended well...just needed quality finish or decision making when given opportunity to score.

 

[Lew-T]

Hopefully this proves a point to Nige to play your best eleven available, in their best positions.

Should have been 3 points but that was better.

[The Swan and Cemetery]

Back 8 played well to a man, thought Vyner and James in particular. Front 3 (/4 with Wells) frustrating with a lack of composure letting them down. But a very decent performance at a place we’ve often struggled. 

[Fammyfan]

would have took a point at the start of the game, good result, clean sheet and point gained

[ralphindevon]

Decent at the back, I think I can trust Rob Atkinson……..

[AppyDAZE]

YESSSSSS  EXETER

[Jerseybean]

Well deserved point, although on the chances created we certainly won it - AS and AW both had great opportunities. Overall we were decent, solid and worked very hard to deny them anything. 
Especially well played the 1,000 or so traveling fans. 

[BCFCGav]

Heartbreaking not to win that. Final 3rd decision making and shooting was frankly a bit dreadful.

Defence was a breath of fresh air though. Overall a very good performance, but one we’ve not turned into points  

[Unan]

Gas go 4-3 down

[milo1111]

If they apply themselves like that every week we will stay up. Quite clearly they are playing for the manager, effort levels were excellent. 
 

very good reaction to Boxing Day 

[Curr Avon]

Expected Jim Bowen to pop up at the end. 'This is what you could have won,,,' A great defensive performance from City to shut out a team with a superb home record. Brilliant block from Atkinson in the first half and Vyner was assured.

Shame about the miss from Andi, but we'll take a point.

Moment of the game? Heard on Robins TV on 64 minutes after City won a corner. "'Urry up you 'orrible ****!"

 

[tin]

A committed performance that warranted more. Tanner was superb on the right, giving us more balance and cover for Vyner. Semenyo didn’t look interested to me and I suspect someone’s been blowing smoke up his arse. Semenyo and Weimann both should’ve scored in the second half, but it’s a good point at one of the toughest places to go. There’s no way in hell they’re not playing for the manager IMO.

We look so much better with Semenyo in the team. Yes a bit rusty but is everything as a defender you don't want to play against and defends from the front really well.

[Midlands Robin]

I'd call that a ship steadying performance. We looked tough to break down in a physical game and were only threatened on a couple of occasions. 

At the other end, Andi had a decent game but Semenyo needs to find his sharpness in front of goal. 

Definitely not going to complain about a point and think it was probably the right result. 

[Mr Popodopolous]

Decent point- battled first half, passed it better and opened up a bit 2nd half.

Semenyo hard working but finishing touch not really there.

As a team though, much more like it, hopefully a bit of a benchmark again? For the commitment, the energy- the compactness.

[Spoonbed]

Good performance, and we’ll worthy of at least a point. Round pegs in round holes?

 

Vyner mom. Would still like to see more from our midfield

[EHarvey]

Oh Exeter you’ve made my night 

[Sleepy1968]

Pleased with that Second half display. Lot more composed. Better movement. Pity about the finishing, but AW at least will improve the more he plays upfront.

Well doen Exeter 4-3 up in added ...

[cityexile]

Wigan, Rotherham and Blackpool all look like they will lose, so not a bad night. Think we will have to be better than three of those plus Hull. Is a worry that we are misfiring in front of goal, but the better side at a hard place to go. Just need a forward to find a bit of form, but lots of sides will say that. Shape wise so much better, created chances and really restricted theirs.

[AppyDAZE]

Hard to compete with clubs the size of Exeter, in fairness

[AshtonRobin21]

Those are the tricky encounters we often struggle with. Not an easy opposition at all, but we did well.

Really committed performance tonight, we looked a team willing to battle for each other.

Lets hope that’s something to build on!

Amazing difference playing people in their best positions.
