v Millwall (a) - 21/12/2024

[booth]

Look who was defending the initial cross, Hedges and Weimann. Really poor.

[neophox]

Dolans been incredible poor....think we should had kept the same side until 75 mins .....then made two changes...

[BigBar]

Really poor defending from Hedges Weimann and Gueye combined. Undone all the good work. Onto the next.

Welp was gonna last forever

A bad clearance by Weimann led to that. Him and Dolan have been shit since they came on.

Expand  

Dolan really poor.

We didn’t expect 6 wins from the last 6 before today either to be fair

1 nil Millwall and its what's deserved we've been incredibly poor today. We move onto the next one, but I fear this could be the start of our normal festive spiral 

Expand  

They didn't deserve anything - a draw was a fair result. Under absolutely no pressure until we went down to 10 men. 

ACD and Weimann should have taken their chances - you always leave yourself open to a soft goal if you don't. 

[Forever Blue]

Got to hope Travis isn’t out for long. What was the injury?

[roverandout]

Lack of quality off the bench. Need reinforcements desperately in January.  A midfielder who can pass forward.  A decent fucking striker. Not yuki or ghueye and someone who can do what that useless twat dolan can't do

[Cherry Blue]

Trav injury will be costly now.

Yeah that was coming - 20 minutes with 10 men was too much. No idea where the ref got 8 minutes from, he's the main character today.

Rinse and repeat Exiled Rover comment every time Rovers don’t win - kinda got used to not seeing it for a while 

[rovers11]

Sickener but we didn't stand a chance with 10 men. Still, 6 wins in a row before today so we can't complain too much. It's a miracle we are where we are at this stage with a bang average squad so I'm very happy overall with our season so far.

What did Gueye do wrong?!

[simongarnerisgod]

at least the annual trips to deepdale and the den are over,both of them hazardous to your players and both sides not interested in playing football

I'm flattered you pay so much attention to my posts. 

If you could explain where the ref got 8 minutes from today I'd be much obliged. Or why he refused to book any of their players that'd be lovely.

Ref was fine mate - Rovers weren’t 

[smiller14]

Negative, desperate for a point crap. Lucky to score 0. If promotion is the aim as they've talked about all week - think again. Reality check. Depressed.

How do you know?

[neophox]

Dolan was shocking when he came on ..... is he on another planet at the moment or what.... we need to regroup....Sunderland beat an 10 man Norwich side today 2-1 and is there for the taking if we just perform. Hopefully Cantwell and Super Mario can have a stormer!

Pace out wide please.

The other option is a Premier League quality #9 with pace to do it all on their own, but I doubt anyone is going to sell / loan us one of those.

Gueye and Ohashi get no service at all.

We started the game with Ohashi, Gueye, ACD and Cantwell on the pitch.

Short of throwing Hedges / Dolan / Leonard on for one of the two CMs we literally can't get more attacking than that with this squad.

It was a soft tissue injury (thigh? hamstring?) that they had no interest in risking despite the fact it'd send us down to ten men.

He'll be out for most of (if not all) of this festive period. We have five games in a fortnight.
