But we weren't negative though. We had 21 shots to their 9. Just undone by a couple of bits of poor defending. Nothing more, nothing less.
Most of those shots were once 3 1 down

Anyway StatWanker says it's down to the top 9 now with Sunderland and West Brom both gone as they would need better than 2 points per game.

Did you actually watch the match?
Beat me to that comment....some of ours amaze me with their lack of football know how, and would ask who we replace these 'unfit' players with our squad. We've had a fantastic few weeks, nearly pulled it off today. Close the book and move on next week

Undone by 2 smart corners and dopey defending of them
QPR defeat also exposed our corner defending
If we could vary our corners I think we could score more.
Today was the first time I’ve attended Millwall with my 3 grandsons. Special moment for me, great infectious atmosphere and, despite the result, they’ll be back
MOTM: Lenny. Superb performance, especially when you consider how long he has been out

Just two well worked corners that we didn’t defend well as not all teams whack the ball in the box like us, Long pulled off a great save tipping over the bar and one around the post, we cased them problems but no end product, Saville and Evans attempts on the half volley summed that up. Have to regroup and move on to create another good run, no mid week game so time for players to go again next week with a break.
Cannot win them all and what a run and results we have had just goes to show how far we have come against the so called bigger clubs with money.

I would put the few defensive errors down to tiredness today. I think the boys showed as much fight and resilience as they could, all things considered.
Saying that, those webbed feet fuckers weren't all that spectacular.
Here's hoping Delia gets her butt plug wedged up her sphincter tonight, and ends up in A&E with a split ring.

A game to far for us. Looked jaded and second best to most things, two games a week has taken it's toll on our small squad. They are a decent and capable side with premiership quality players in some positions. No shame in losing, we dust ourselves down an go again.
Because there's two teams on the pitch, the other was better than us and looked much fitter and hadn't played in midweek.
You don't go out of sight in this division and certainly not against teams like Norwich. Did you go today?

I just hope the management see we have a weakness defending short corners and make changes. If an opposition player goes short for a corner, you have to send two defenders over to mark the corner taker and the player who has gone short. I was taught this as an 11 year old playing Sunday football and it does my nut to see professional footballers not knowing the basics.

Norwich looked capable, but I think we made them look better because we looked tired and fair play to get a goal back and Bradshaw was unlucky near the end with the Norwich player blocking off the line.
A much needed rest must on the cards.

Thought Lenners done very well. Worked very hard and made some great challenge.
