Horrendous stuff

Buckley has got a pretty hard job tonight finding a gap, they’re playing a deep back line and there’s little space. 

I have a hard job. I still make sure I do a decent job of it. 
 

A honking half of football all round 

As bad as Eustace’s stupid fucking cap

0-0 half time

Can someone poke my eyes out please?

[yankfan]

Our once fluid attack has had all dynamic creativity sucked out of it. At least millwall look less like scoring than we do 

[moerpho]

How hard is it? A little bit of Jon and a little bit of John. FFS. It’s black or white at the moment isn’t it?

You think Millwall look threatening?

2 poor teams. Where are our 2 goals coming from? 

[Bethnal]

So uncertain on the ball, which is why there’s nothing happening up top. Too much dawdling, Scott Wharton having to try and force it.

Szmodics coming too deep for the ball, but will struggle with speculative crosses against a deep line.

Again, I watch that first half performance and can truly only wonder what Eustace has actually told them to go out and do. I have to assume that whatever he’s told them to do, they’re not doing, but still no semblance of a plan.

Hopeful that he can get across in 15 mins what they didn’t pick up in the past couple of days.

[G Somerset Rover]

Awful.

Will this lot ever back up their talk off the pitch? I highly doubt it.

Turgid. Millwall are absolutely dreadful but we've got nowhere near even having a shot let alone scoring.

They will probably score from a corner and win one nil. Sleepwalking to a 1-0 loss here. We can all see it coming.

Dolan is a frustrating player. 
He looks like he should be fast but he’s extremely slow with the ball and he looks like he’d be a good dribbler but I’ve never seen him beat the first defender. 
Add in the poor decision making and he doesn’t really offer much more than work rate. 

I was going to post similar. His passing this evening is poor too. Do is Buckley's.

[joey_big_nose]

Gallaghers advantages are pressing and running, his weaknesses are his touch and link up play...

If the opposition are going to sit deep on their box his advantages are negated and his weaknesses accentuated.

Feels like maybe its a game that will suit Sigurdsson, lots of room and needs something clever to unlock the defence.

Our only hope is Szmodics, next up I’ve probably got Scott Wharton, that’s what it says about our other attacking players. 

[TonyM]

Dreadful .... can the 2nd half possibly be as bad ?

Sadly, it probably can

 

[Bbrovers2288]

We have been down this path before, really am starting to accept relegation 

[alcd]

Sky red button commentary is as drab as the match . 

[jim mk2]

Millwall’s boss will have had a look at us that half and be telling his team now that there is nothing to beat

Just 5 minutes of pressure and one goal should be enough

Get Ayari and Markandy on. Can't be any worse than this.

No thank you. I will switch over at that point and assume Millwall will go on to win.

[den]

Aimless crap.

[OJRovers]

So basically all week on the training ground they've been working on hoofing it long to Pickering who is up against someone a foot taller than him. Brilliant.

[Torgeir]

Poor half that. Wasted a good 45 mins. Get Dolan off, not a team player.

Their goal will come from a set piece. Defending was atrocious from the one corner they've had so far. Went right across the 6 yard box , fortunately no attacker got on the end of it. Won't get away with that very often.

[GaryC]

Poor game, both teams guilty of sloppy passes, needs a spark, Sammie the man to provide, Dolan needs another 10 then bring on Dilian

Awful this. Summed up by Pickering's shit corner.  

Oh for some Mulgrew quality from set pieces.

Could be doing with prime Mulgrew again in L1 next year
