Match Thread Millwall v Stoke City KO 3pm

Wasn't going to bother this week after last Saturdays dire performance
It really is a chore going there at the moment. Awful football, terrible atmosphere and stasi like stewarding is driving bods away. Will go tomorrow but not looking forward to it one bit.
 
This is the paradox. The style of football is drab but we are in a relatively purple patch in terms of sitting fairly comfortably in the 2nd tier and not too far from playoff contention.
 
If the players give it their all, as they did against Sheffield Utd., then we should be more than a match for Stoke (regardless of their current league position!)

Unfortunately, this is Millwall and this is Drawett! Professionally, no two games are the same for either. For the players, they’re either brilliant one game, or shit the next! For Drawett, he’s either spot on with his team selection and formation/tactics one game, or it’s a shit team selection and formation/tactics the next! The one word that links them together, and which they both lack, is consistency!

Millwall 2 - 0 Stoke City (if both players and manager come together!

Millwall 0 - 2 Stoke City (if both players and manager have a ‘mare!

If both teams play shit, and both managers fuck it up completely, it’ll probably be a dull, boring, scoreless draw! 🤣
 
Team is..

Millwall: 5-2-3: Bialkowski; Leonard, Ballard, Hutchinson, Cooper, Malone; Evans, Mitchell; J Wallace, Bradshaw, Ojo.

Subs: Long, McNamara, M Wallace, Kieftenbeld, Smith, Pearce, Mahoney.
