General Matchday Thread

[Etienne Vermeer]

We're always such shite as favourites. Wigan, Barnsley, Luton... all come to our place and take something.

 

[meh]

That was 45 minutes of pure rubbish and little entertainment, Luton doing enough to be in front, solid at the back so far for them.

We can't be any worse than that in the second half surely?

Get Mahoney on for O'brien.

 

[Jockney]

That was worse than anything we served up towards the end of Harris’s time here.

 

[meh]

Romeo is having a terrible game, going forward and defending, bit more intent this half, would be surprised if we don't score, wouldn't be surprised if we concede on the counter attack or another set piece though.

 

[meh]

If thats not a penalty, then I don't know what is...... Nearly took Jake Coopers shirt off.

 

[oakroader]

Stonewall penalty to them

 

[meh]

What a clearance by Jake Cooper on the line!!!!

Shame it was on Lutons goal line!!!

 

[Etienne Vermeer]

That'd been coming.

 

[oakroader]

Pathetic fucking defending again!!!
New it was coming

 

[meh]

Deserved, although both teams deserve to go away with zero points from this game.

 

[oakroader]

Two defenders getting in each other’s way
This ain’t gonna end well...
Millwall on the up

I think we've played well second half

 

[meh]

I think we've played well second half

Luton haven't half made it easy for us though, they've just sat back and tried to sit on this lead for 45 minutes. If we were playing a Championship quality side we would have been out of this game ages ago.

Apart from hopeful balls into the box we haven't really created anything. It was a good cross by Wallace, but the more a side crosses the ball into the box against a set defence the less chance they have of creating goal, unless you have an elite crosser like Beckham.

It feels like a 12:30 kick off on New Years day after a run of fixtures over christmas to be fair to the players.

We have this habit of making shit teams look good...

You know if we win today we're in a playoff place right?

What a great counter attacking goal that was!

Luton have handed this second half on a plate to us, sitting deep in their penalty box for 45 minutes. Terrible game management on their part, a Championship quality team would have seen this game out.

I will be amazed if Luton don't finish bottom, any team with Tunnicliffe in the centre midfield has no business playing in the Championship.

 

[Craig]

You love to see it.

 

[Etienne Vermeer]

If?

Well, it's not in question now

 

[oakroader]

Can’t see us getting any points soon
Fuck off jones....no more excuses
Gary sweet it’s time....”you’re fired “

 

[BelizeHatter]

Couldnt be bothered to get out of bed and watch it. Glad too. Hangovers much milder than it would have been. Barring a miracle couple or six signings..... cheerio

 

[Millwall_Matt]

We were dire for 60 odd minutes, couldn’t pass water and smith looked like a donkey.

that we won 3-1 was largely down to baffling substitutions by Luton, and them sitting far too deep. Mcmanaman was doing a decent job stopping us exploiting our left, and lua lua has kept Romeo and Wallace fairly quiet. Taking both off to reinforce the middle gave us far more space out wide to exploit, along with them dropping far too deep.

based on that, I think they look nailed on bottom 3 now. Think Barnsley will get out of it, and stoke completely toss of a coin

Stoke won't go down, their underlying statistics this season actually has them performing as a mid-table side, from February to March they have a nice set of fixtures and will be a good 9/10 points clear by the end of March.

Charlton and the current bottom 3 will be the teams in the last two weeks battling it out for survival.

Bullshit

Stoke aren’t a terrible side perhaps, but though their performance at ours was wretched. Looked like a team with very little confidence or character to me. They’ll definitely beat us next week now!

 

[Millwall_Matt]

Charlton depend massively on the window. If they spend a bit they’ll prob be ok

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Think we are now bottom of the league which is absolutely where we deserve to be. We actually did ok first half but 2nd half we looked totally perplexed at actually being in the lead!

Couldn’t keep hold of the ball at all second half and Millwall were all over us and the goals were certainly coming. Not sure taking off McMamanaan and LuaLua was a good idea as we had no outlet whatsoever afterward. The equaliser off course coming from a cross - who could have foreseen such a thing!

The second - I think Bree and Tunnicliffe would have backed off to our own goal line if he hadn’t shot. Sooner those 2 are gone the better the latter is absolutely useless and I dont want to see him in the side ever again. Total waste of space. Like playing with 10. The 3rd another cross but game was essentially over at 1-1 as no way where we ever holding on.

Not sure where we go from here (except league 1 obviously!)

 

[Super_horns]

Must have been a few defences celebrating last night!

Hello mid table obscurity, we will be hanging around here for the next 5 months.
