Boro v Wall- Match thread

Nice touch having JB initials on the shirts

I don’t mind the new kit apart from the gold bit at the bottom looks like they have a shirt underneath which needs tucking in

Thought Flemming wasn’t at the races (again) today!

If he’s not careful and doesn’t buck his ideas up, it could be Esse starting games as our No. 10!

Merson on Sky reckons we will be a handful this season and was a real statement by Millwall today.

 

[Eamon Dunphys tackle]

Completely disagree. He was excellent at times.

Merson said the same.

Can’t criticise Rowett’s substitution abilities today.

'Just a talented, talented player' - Millwall boss leads the praise for Romain Esse after his Middlesbrough winner - Southwark News

GARY Rowett sung the praises of Romain Esse and Aidomo Emakhu after the pair combined for Millwall and grabbed the winning goal at Middlesbrough. The Lions bossed most of the game but could not find a way through at the Riverside Stadium, a ground where they had been winless since…

Got to say, away at ‘boro with the game on an edge, brave move by GR to bring the young lads on. Could have easily brought the likes of Evens on to hold on for the draw (as seen before) but he clearly has faith in them. Credit where it’s due for that, a match winning decision.

Credit where it’s due for that, a match winning decision.

Few things are indisputable in football, but that is undeniable today.

Very impressive the coolness shown when Emakhu looked across and played the perfect ball to Esse for the goal, he looks very composed for a youngster, they both need to brush up on their defensive work if they are going to become great players.

That little glance spoke volumes. Lots of young players would have lost their heads there and just whacked the ball in. Credit for Esse for staying put and remaining in space rather than being drawn into the goal.

Esse's finish...you literally cannot improve on it. Nothing he could have done better.

The goal looks even better from this angle.

If that was a premier league goal the media would be wetting themselves over that it.

He certainly recognises it’s teamwork that counts

 

[ackers87]

Isn't it great to sit and watch a match not panicking about the keeper every time the ball went near our box?

Yessss!!

 

[ackers87]

Completely disagree. He was excellent at times.

Excellent? He was the worst player on the pitch by a country mile. Also missed a few sitters.

 

[Stowwall]

Esse's finish...you literally cannot improve on it. Nothing he could have done better.

Very calm finish.
Superb.

 

[E18 wall]

Very calm finish.
Superb.

I think the cross was as good as the finish, kept a cool head and drilled it low giving the strikers a perfect connection, could have so easy sent in a high ball as we normally see.

Fitting performance, as the Berylson family were there.

Didn’t know the Berylson family was there, thought they were only going to be at our home match against Bristol City?

Glad they were, though. I’m sure James was very proud when he heard our supporters calling out his father’s name!

Thought this line was interesting from Rowett: “We’re going down a slightly different route now in terms of how the club is run by John’s son James.”

Wonder if that means more year on year investment from James, compared to the year on year amount his father gave us before (which was and has been considerable?)
