Match Thread Millwall v Stoke City KO 3pm

Wouldn't say Ojo or Mitchell are playing any worse then the rest, I thought Malone and Evans are having bad games, better end to the first half, but we started the game 2 steps behind Stoke, they have been faster then us in every department, I feel sorry for Bradshaw, having to try and win the ball in the air against their CB's, and fair play to him, he has a few times, Jed is trying but looks frustrated, the whole team looks wrong playing this 5 at the back, Hutch has been the best player on the pitch for us.

Need a change in formation in the second half, GR will probably go 6 at the back.

Millwall 0 - 1 Stoke City

Just more of the same, isn’t it? Once again, no consistency and no drive or hunger to get back into the game!

Sorry, but Drawett has to go! A couple of away wins have just papered over the cracks, because the players still cannot win enough home games!

JB needs to get a new manager in now, in order for him to assess the players strengths and weaknesses over a number of games leading up to the transfer window! Then he needs to go to JB after Christmas and ask for X amount of money to buy in a couple of players who will be the ones to make this team finally tick!

Also would hope he would see through Afobe and Ojo, and send them back in January! The money saved on paying their wages could go towards players who actually could give a fuck!
 
Has anyone cleaned the pipes lately. If not, straight from the barrel, please....or maybe both barrels...
Since taking it over Ive been cleaning them behind closed doors as the opening was always coming.
Ill get the pumps ready seeing as a token of respect to Rowett as he likes the ball being pumped.
 
Never understand the stats, we have
3 shots
1 shot on target
0 clear cut chances

Surely a clear cut chance is a shot on target?

Either way we are 1-0 down and I hope JB is watching as he will see the crowd decrease if this crap carries on .
 
Combination of system and players.

Playing 3,4,2,1 which is leaving us exposed down the flanks and channels with balls being played behind Leonard and Malone.

Bradshaw may not be the World’s greatest player but he is a sacrificial lamb on his own upfront expected to contest balls he’s very little chance of winning. But doesn’t he try and put in a shift 👏

Ojo not as good as Mahoney, Evans is looking to play attacking passes but the movement is appalling.

Jed! The last 2 goals we’ve conceded at The Den have started with mistakes by him. Okay they could/should have been prevented but giving the ball away cheaply in midfield is always likely to cause problems. Towards the end of the half Jed and Ojo have a 2 v 1, Jed has the ball, does he pass? No, caught inside their box and, arguably, our best chance has gone 🤦‍♂️

Billy has probably played too many games at U23 level and is struggling to adjust to the pace of Championship football.

☹️☹️☹️

Jeds chance at the end, he took a bad touch that pushed him wide so he had to try and take on the shot, should have passed quicker to Ojo though
