It was a knock on from smith that put him through for the sending off. All strikers want to play facing the oppositions goal. Easiest way to achieve that especially with less skilled players is by getting wingers to get to the by line and cut it back across the 6 yard/penalty spot. Thats why Rowett’s shite formation does not work for us and 442 does.

Maybe we should take a shot at goal on the refs first whistle while the keeper is on his knee ,wonder what the ruling would be if we scored.

Benik should wear a BLM T-shirt stating Be Like Me. Well done to him.

Indeed. His attitude is so refreshing; a consummate professional who obviously loves the game and relishes playing in front of our fans who've quickly taken him to heart. This article is well worth a read:

Fantastic attitude. You can see it in his play.
And underlines that us fans are so racist, a black player returned to us.

Funny thing is haven’t seen any footage anywhere of this charade . Not even on extended highlights , which they always show the kick off.Top man!
Wonder if Sly will show that later on tonight?
Benny has embarrassed em I reckon, good lad.

Kinda shows the club are trying to stop the booing with made up bullshit, when we sign a black player like Benik who’s loving it here.
Don’t trust the narrative from the club at all, although there is an element of truth, I think they are stretching the truth to breaking point to try and guilt the fan base into not booing the knee.

Having such an attitude, despite losing his daughter, injuries, and limited playing time, is phenomenal. His reaction to the ref on Saturday, has surely won him the title of being one of our own.
I hope he plays like a superstar for as long as he's with us. Don't know his terms, but i suppose getting him for good - hopefully after getting 20 goals for us this season - would be a pipe dream?

Fantastic attitude. Lots of players seem to take what they have for granted but not this player. Now I have two reasons for wanting him to do well. I obviously want him to do well for Millwall but I want him to do well for himself too. I like the line where he says that he wants to succeed not to prove people wrong but to prove people right.Indeed.
