Millwall away match thread

[P'head Red]

Much more positive performance. How weimann didn't manage to convert I'll never know! Hopefully we can show the same fight and style of play going forward 

[Rossi the Robin]

Another great performance from Matty James that probably goes under the radar. Vyner outstanding

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.  

Hopefully @Davefevs won't mind me speaking on his behalf - but I think the point was that the first half was all about getting a foothold in the game, feeling our way in, building confidence. That second half performance doesn't happen without the fight put in during the first half. In the form we've been in, you don't just turn up and play like all is rosy. I think *that* was the point.

[Barrs Court Red]

The enigma that is Bristol City at the moment - fine away performance.  

[Banjo Island]

Really enjoyed watching that thought we played some lovely football and should of come away with all 3 points a decent point in th end thou and a much improved performance

Thank you exeter

[Red Army 75]

Follow this up at Coventry. Small steps and all that 

[pongo88]

Good defensive performance which is what you get when you play defenders in defence. Best chances to City. I’m disappointed it’s only one point, but against an in form team, well done

[DaveF]

Should have won that, decent performance which gives us hope for Coventry.

Something very non league about Exeter’s 4th, a big punt down the pitch from the keeper and a header over a stranded keeper. Love it!

[Northern Red]

Good, solid point that probably should have been 3.

Whatever else might be wrong, I think it shows that the players are playing for the manager at least.

[Gimme Shelton]

And Andi actually looked like a player.. who'd have thought it..

[bcfc01]

Good result.

Interesting that Atkinson was central, worked well.

Tanner solid as expected.

Weimann back where he should be and had a couple of chances.

Much better, happy with that.

If we can play like this every week we’ll be comfortably mid table 

We've said that before and it didn't happen!

The league table isn't nice to look at atm.

Got to love a goalkeeper assist 

[Jerseybean]

According to the BBC Millwall didn’t have a shot on target 

[weepywall]

Happy with that, Happy new year reds and big shout out to the 1000 City that made the effort tonight

Missed a sitter and messed up our other two best chances by blocking the pass to Naismith and smashing a cross high and wide though.

[Johnr1986]

Disappointed not to come away with win how we played second half, but would have settled for a point before kick off couple of teams round us lost too. point gained onwards and upwards.

The one Atkinson blocked was going in.

Not true, the Atkinson block on to the cross bar being the obvious one

[1960maaan]

That must have been some header, Outside the box ???

[Kid in the Riot]

Play five defenders in their correct positions and it shows we can contain teams. Just really disappointing we didn't take one of those two golden chances. 2 pts off relegation zone, 4 off the bottom - still plenty of work to do.

Shame we couldn't win (chances not taken + the umpteenth penalty claim ignored), but we stopped the losing trend against an in-form team so...I'm quite satisfied. 

COYR!

At least 2 defeats on the bounce for the fewers. Shame eh!

[Simple Red]

I hope the Rovers fans sang the “2 nil and you fu…….” song when they went 3-2 up.

I think we should always be better with the ball than we were first half. We can get a foothold AND string some passes together. They aren’t mutually exclusive. I’m not talking about champagne football. Just a modicum of ability with the ball

[RedM]

I didn't boo the players on Boxing Day but if that was their response then let's hope they can motivate themselves to kick on without the need for the fans to show displeasure again.

A great result at the Den, not many come away from there with anything.
