v Millwall (a) - 21/12/2024

[booth]

And a dodgy foul given against us when Cozier Duberry took the ball off a Millwall player by their corner flag.

[BankEnd Rover]

With how other results currently are, and how we are playing, I'd take a draw now.

ACD probably gets a red for that in the prem. Over the ball and studs to shin.

Nah, have faith

Really poor half. No clear chances for us and a lot of scrambling in front of our goal. Neither side looks great but could easily be down 1 or 2

How’s Gueye doing?

Barely heard his name mentioned.

Need Dolan running at Wallace 

[neophox]

We can and should win this..... Pickering a liability at the back.

I thought so at first but the reply looked worse. Studs on the lads leg

That was a tough half.  Low quality from both sides - especially Rovers. The Millwall threat is definitely out wide. 

We can't put 3 passes together today.  Hyam especially just seems to be lumping the ball aimlessly.

Their defender got a freekick after foolishly losing the ball to ACD because he screamed loudly.

Ridiculous. 

He stood on his foot that’s why. 

[neophox]

Gueyes done well harassing the defenders winning some balls...

[neophox]

Could well be good putting some fresh legs in both Dolan, Beck, Hedges and Weimann at some point in the second half.

They haven't had a clear cut chance - how could we easily be 1 or 2 down?

We're losing the midfield battle, need an extra man in there.

Ohashi off for Beck / Dolan and slot Cantwell in to #10 should resolve it. We're essentially playing 4-2-4 at the moment.

Those two on the right hand side were decent chances.

[rovers11]

Not the type of game for Cantwell or JRC. Hedges and Brittain need to come on and we need to hope one of those long balls falls to Ohashi to run onto. 

[Forever Blue]

According to the BBC stats:

Millwall have had 7 shots, with 1 on target.

We’ve had 3 shots, with none on target

And JRC...just keeps punting it forward to no one and has been poor defensively, for the record I like JRC but needs replacing in this game.

All over us like a shoddy Xmas jumper

I knew that, so I've no idea why I didn't think to bet on under 2.5 goals and also on Travis being booked, which was an inevitability in this game!

Ditto, everything said scrappy low scoring game but did nothing about it 😄

[BigBar]

In a world obsessed with "philosophy" and "playing the right way" Millwall really have stuck to their blood and thunder and getting stuck in way of play. Have to admire it in a way but didn't get them far.

[BigBar]

Just saw Duncan Watmore warming up, hope he doesn't get on, always liked him, he is always dangerous.

Were Blackburn Rovers, were on our way back
