Millwall v Scunthorpe

[Strawberry_Jam]

Millwall fans giving it to the Scunthorpe players getting ready to take a corner. Scunthorpe then scored. Brilliant

'Yeah lets throw a few hands signs. That'll make 'em lose confidence.'

I wonder if people look back on their behaviour and think what a childish twat they were.

I don't think people like that think too much about anything.

 

[Jockney]

I do hand signs. I don't care.

Good commitment and energy again. Need to show the quality for the goal a bit more often. It's anyone's game now.

Strike! 3-2...

 

[Jockney]

Get in! Well deserved. Our energy was exceptional. Unlucky Scunthorpe. Very nearly took it ET at the end.

 

[Etienne Vermeer]

Well then.

 

[Bottega Don]

Devastated to lose but Alexander's negativity cost us yet again. Can't be setting up a team like that at home in the Play-Offs, we played right into Millwalls hands. Why he keeps playing a 31 year old slow CM with very little technical ability on the wing when we have one on the bench and one who can't get into the squad I will never know. We should've gone for it today and it cost us that we didn't.

Congrats to Millwall, enjoy your trip to Wembley.

Well done Millwall, Scunny imploded in Feb and March.

Plenty of energy as in the first leg, Jockney. Just more focused this time. I predicted a tight game, with one goal separating the teams, either team to go through. It was that, except it was more open than I expected. Better side won and should a big crowd at Wembley now, ought to be a sell-out with Millwall and Bradford's support bases. We couldn't really deal with Morison after he settled down. Gregory did the running as I expected and proved that these two are quality for L1. We thought down at our end that Millwall's opening goal came from a push on our left back, but obviously the ref didn't.

Agree with Bott Don above. Alexander cost us the game. Most of the fans would have picked the side that beat Coventry, but the manager started as he did at Millwall. Seems nonsensical to me. He eventually came around after we were 1-3 down and then we started to look dangerous. But only up top. Midfield was awful and has been for a long time. No service to the front men. That's the reason Madden has not featured in anything really. If the Chairman is thinking about changing the manager out, then now is the time. I think Alexander missed a trick on Sunday and if I had the purse strings he would be gone.

You looked dangerous at 3-2, esp with that winger you brought on. I said to my dad that if the tie had gone on five or ten minutes longer you'd have levelled and probably have gone on to win. I don't know how much of that was us defending so deep and you finding desperate urgency from somewhere, but the difference in threat was a marked contrast from the previous 170 odd minutes.

I expect, given their poor second halves to the season, that Morris, van Veen, Madden and co will not be garnering the sort of interest that will force Scunny to sell, so I expect to see you challenging strongly again next season.

Revenge of sorts for the play-off final game I suppose. Though we won't be even in my book unless we beat Bradford.

 

[Vic Rattlehead]

Well that was shame.

Come on Bradford.

The winger is the American lad named Holmes. He is the pace I was talking about. Van Veen is the craft. If we had started with these two and gone for it, I would have fancied us. Even at half time, it was obvious that we had not got in front with the same team as down in London. Holmes and Van Veen should have come on then. Too late and Alexander bottled it. Out the door with the negativity.

Agree that it would be evens (3-2) if you beat Bradford, but they are no mugs. If you don't, then see you next season.

You had won your last 5 before the play offs with that team basically, indeed lost only 2 of your last 9 games (both v Millwall) so I can see why the manager went with the same attack / wingers.
