Millwall obviously have a reputation for an agricultural approach to football, but they almost set a new level of it today. There’s an A road that runs through New Cross, but they should consider scrapping that for a full-blown bypass and just demolish the stadium, club and community, for all the good it brings the world. Horrible place and people, in my experience (and I’ve a fair amount of it).
Having said the above, we didn’t help ourselves. Such is the mentality of a club like Millwall, the ACD chance would’ve collapsed them, had it been put away. Trav getting a booking so early put him on the backfoot for the rest of the game, which opened up the middle of the park more for them. We allowed ourselves to be bullied and didn’t have much scrap in us to get even, while a poor referee didn’t fancy arbitrating. Lots of us didn’t seem up for it today, although Danny Batth did.
In isolation - a poor showing. Contextually - 6 wins in 7 is an excellent run. Sunderland a tough ask, but at home on Boxing Day is a good thing and we ought to be targeting another clean sheet against them.
