How many times did Ayala try to handball it in that match!! Unbelievable how he got away with it. 

He was certainly better with his hands than he was his feet. Awful performance. 

[SamTheShrew]

Poor performance but a win. Well I never.

tough on millwall as I think they should have had at least 1 pen for Ayala handball.

next 3 games could be defining 

[DE.]

Can't say it was a pleasing performance, but at the end of the day 3 points are all that will be recorded in the history books. 

We don't want to make a habit of playing this badly - we will eventually get punished for it. Some work for Mowbray and his team to do, but it's rare for us to get away with something like this once, let alone twice - so we might as well enjoy our good fortune.

We got away with three handballs in the box tonight.

We did. Thought the ref was poor for us at times. But he totally missed multiple handballs in the area by our defenders. Absolutely got away with one tonight. Thought we played better second half though until Mowbrays inexplicable subs. No idea what that formation was. Either way. 3 points feel amazing 

[Gaz85]

I always say judge after 15/20 games. Well 15 games in and we’re 4 points off the top!! Felt brilliant that win.

[Butty]

Well that was a really poor performance, yet we’ve won so I’m buzzing! 4 potential hand balls from us not given class to see how fuming they are ?.. I’d get Trybull and Rothwell back in the midfield on Saturday, hopefully Ayala strips fitter for getting 90 minutes under his belt because he looked off the pace and hopefully Douglas is back. Think a better team would have slaughtered us tonight, we were so open from midfield to defence. Can’t complain with 3 points though, delighted to see us win two games on the spin where we’ve not played well. 

[1864roverite]

Out of sorts, defensive formation was chaotic, midfield overrun at times and little service to the front men.

Win ugly will do all day long.

3 points bagged we move on, rest up and concentrate on the next game.

Can’t complain we won again!

Thank #### that there is no VAR ?

Indeed. Still remember the media creaming themseves when the bald snake had us top after a handful of games through sheer luck.

Millwall lot better side than I expected.  Dix points when we probably have deserved one tops.  What's that they say about top teams not playing well.  Holtby off the boil again, seems as Lewis Holtby goes so do we.  If Wharton is ready Sat he has to play, sit Ayala he's not ready.  He won't though will he.

You could say they are a touch upset. Rowett is a massive cant, Mowbray an ugly cant and we are northern cants.

And the rest.....

[Bigdoggsteel]

Ideal re-introduction now for Dack would be  scoring after being brought on, to win a game like tonight
