Why have we improved?

['ArryBoy]

1. Key players back to best form, esp. Coops and Saville
2. Great defensive cover by Billy and Saville, stopping easy access towards goal
3. Two up front , not one.

Any more ?

 

[Millwall-84]

Because Marks Nan is doing our training.

 

[High Life Street 2.0]

Jed Wallace and teh fact the fact although Mark's Nan is pretty much a bench player, she is a positive character in the dressing room.

 

[Lionchel]

5 clean sheets in a row

 

[Kryan Bing]

5 clean sheets in a row

Great stuff...Nan's incontinence is under control.

Jed came back next question.

 

[SEL]

Ballard, Cooper and Wallace as a solid back 3.

 

[Gaeilge Millwall]

The peanut seller is back .................

 

[CrawLion]

By doing the basic stuff well. Not giving the ball away cheaply, moving the ball forward quickly and closing our opponents down pronto when they have it.

We are now playing with confidence, and that doesn't half matter.

 

[HappyLion]

Several players coming into good form and front 3 formatio

Great stuff...Nan's incontinence is under control.

Why have we improved?
We were toothless up front ................ and then Bennet came along

 

[High Life Street 2.0]

Great stuff...Nan's incontinence is under control.

 

[Ulster Lion]

It's the "Millwall Way".
Although it may have something to do with me promising the squad that I'll provide them all with brasses if they finish in the playoffs......or the threat from GR that if they don't get into the top 6, he's going to let me share the team bath with them after the Peterborough game.

 

[PurleyLion]

Jed came back next question.

And has done what?

 

[Peckham Lion]

I think Rowett has let them be more attack minded/ adventurous since we've had enough points on the board for a comfortable finish. A month ago we was talking about a possible battle for safety. His first job is to secure us another season at this level, so being cagey and defence minded with our smallish squad kind of makes sense. As frustrating as that is it's the reality for a club our size and with limited funds.

I understand what you mean, and looking back on it, it makes perfect sense for Rowett to have been cautious, based as you say on our smallish squad and limited funds. The only problem I can see with Rowett’s plan is, can we expect the same thing again next season?

JB has already said there will be funds available to improve the squad for next season, and chances are we will still be in the Championship, but whatever money he gives to Rowett, if it isn’t enough to allow the manager to buy the types of player(s) he wants that are gonna fire us to an automatic promotion spot next season, won’t Rowett be cautious yet again, only releasing the shackles from the players once he’s certain that relegation has been avoided? If he does that, chances are we might miss out on the play offs yet again!

I guess so, firstly because of the money other clubs have to spend and second, he's a cautious manager by nature it seems. Perhaps we will see the same who knows!

I doubt any team that hasn't recently dropped from the money league will get an automatic place. There is a pattern forming in this league now where yoyo clubs like Fulham. Watford and Norwich helped by ridiculous parachute payments dominate the automatic places in the championship. I won't grumble to much if we can maintain our place and be competitive each season.

Did he tell you why?
'Cos he told me and it was quite incredible.
