Millwall post-match round up

[SurreyGreen]

The thing is I'm not sure we can play for the win. Just not good enough, no midfield, no firing strikers, constant rotation. Think the setup today was fine and on another day we perhaps nick a goal from a set piece or a counter.

 

[Green 1886]

That alone doesn't mean we don't deserve it.

We've been in gradual decline for months and nothing seems to be stopping that.


Other teams around us are fighting- Swansea, QPR, Stoke, Millwall, Sheffield Wednesday etc

We're in decline

It’s exactly this. All about momentum. One by one teams have picked us off. All I’ve read on here for weeks is that (there are too many teams between us and the drop zone), well, that has now evaporated. What a few of us have warned against and the masses have poo pooed has now come true. There is NOBODY now between us and the drop zone. That’s right, stoke, QPR, Wednesday, millwall, Blackburn, Swansea, all leap frogged us. Birmingham will do the same on the last game and everyone will be stood there going “drat, how did that happen, we never saw that coming”. Well some of us did and have and have spoken out about it and been shot down in flames.
Whittaker, bottle job for 2 months, no headed goals - shocking, set pieces just dreadful, can’t find a man from a throw in, Devine and Waine nowhere near championship standard - yet the majority have lived in denial. Well here we are, and realistically we’re relying on Norwich as we’re clearly not good enough to get out of this mess ourselves. Furious 😡

i've just watched the post match interview with joe.oh dear.🏳️

 

[Kernowgreen]

We're blinded by the tint but in reality we don't deserve to stay up

BUT EVERYDAY ABOVE GROUND IS A GOOD DAY Isn`t it ? For goodness sake man

Didn't we all know , even you , that survival would be a great result this season ? We are minnows in the big pool and yes mistakes have been made but if we stay up , anyhow , I will be delighted .

 

[mutley marvel]

21st place was my prediction at the start of the season
We are 21st after 45 games & have not been in the bottom 3 all season
We know the squad's limitations but we are still fighting & still above the dotted line
This is still in our hands
If we survive the final day & keep our place in the Championship it will be mission accomplished

Start of the season I looked at Rotheham, QPR, Birmingham, Wednesday and Huddersfield as the teams we needed to finish above. Until Christmas time it was mission accomplished. Since then, we’ve lost a fantastic manager (outside of our control) and Azaz (also outside of our control) but to totally fold in half since and hope that “survival” was our main goal would’ve been looked at as totally defeatist. Some even eyeing the play offs.
We’d have been on the beach weeks ago with with one of Schuey in charge Azaz in the squad. Loosing both was massive but replacing neither with anything near the same quality was criminal

 

[BramcoteGreen]

If we lose the last three games we deserve to go down.The irony is many of this team would do really well in League 1 but they are not good enough for the Championship.A conundrum.

Furious but very harsh, boys had a great first half of the season, dropped in it at Xmas big time and all the staff left too. Creative

furious and very harsh, boys done great first half of the season, dropped in the poo at Xmas and then all the staff left too, lost creative goal scoring players , confidence rocked . Dodgey manager brought in the list goes on and to call Whittaker a bottle job is insulting really. Small squad and lack of a couple more midfielders and another striker may be the real problem. Were you furious after all the great earlier games or Leicester the other week.

 

[RB00194]

We are playing on fumes
How many players are nursing niggles & still playing
Our squad depth is being severely tested
If Butch/Macca had not been moved on in January would we be in a different league position
One final push required next Saturday- being in this league is a very chastening experience

We are where we are because of poor decisions by the board and the fact we are simply not good enough. Sick of the excuses. The chairman put no money into the team and we are paying the consequences. He hired an unknown manager with no proven track record in the championship at a pivotal point of the season, it failed, we are paying the consequences.

We are where we are and its down to Hallett.

BUT EVERYDAY ABOVE GROUND IS A GOOD DAY Isn`t it ? For goodness sake man

Another happy clapper.

 

[elburtontrev]

Another tactical masterclass from Dewsnip.

Take off our tallest defender and replace him with our shortest. Then 2 minutes later, the short*ss replacement doesn't even get off the ground or make any attempt to stop their player heading the ball into the net for the winning goal.

It was the right decision, Phillips has cost us goals earlier in the season when he should have been hooked earlier. Definitely cramping up.
Pleggy didn't jump and was a brilliant header to beat coops from there

 

[Ganna Green]

That happy clapper comment is another cheap shot. It was a bit of fun in a dire moment ! Had great times in whatever league we are in so maybe I’m a happy clapper too 👏

There was an 80/20 ball in Whittakers favor with 5 mins to go and he bottles it. He’s has a great season (well 5 months) but we’ve carried him last 3 months.

He RAN off the pitch. We needed his height. It was exactly the back 3 I said we should go with in the pre match thread. He is 18 years old, he can play 9 more minutes and head balls away for us.
