LCFC 3-2 Milll Post Match

[DerbyshireFox]

Felt 3-2 flattered them. Came out second half and looked set to blow them away again. Fast second half goals turned the game. Fatawu getting better each game, thought he should’ve had a pen first half.
 

Enzo’s tactical nouse made the difference at the break. Like that we don’t panic when we go behind, but we have to cut out these sloppy moments. Overall a great result and nearly halfway through the season, we’ve done astoundingly well. Amazing that Ipswich are pretty much level with us, massive credit to them. Two very winnable games before we go there on Boxing Day, fingers crossed we keep the goals flowing!

I thought first 30 minutes he did a very good job of punishing some reckless challenges. Then after that it was like he realised he'd have to send someone off and stopped. 

Have you seen how short he is. Most of those challenges went straight over his head .

[The Guvnor]

For most of the game Millwall were well organised and kept their shape well . They looked dangerous with set pieces and their first goal was a sweet cross and banging header.

Abdul had the beating of his marker every time but a lot of our play went wide to Stephy and unfortunately he wasn’t having the same success ,actually the kid marking him looked a tidy player.

Great result despite the lack of concentration in added on time.

Always nice to wake up to a win!  

 

How is Cannon looking?  Decent prospect for the 2nd half of the season?

Quite wondering what his strengths are. It's early days, and he does show some good movement at times but not convinced yet, but willing I give him time 

[Phenom]

**** Millwall. That is all.

Not convinced yet from two 20 minute cameos?

He had a role in the third goal. Took a decent shot, blocked by a defender, then Ricardo got the rebound.

 

On current form Daka is our best striker and deserves to start. In particular he works well with Fatawu.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Over the previous 2 seasons we would have gone 1-0 down early on, absolutely shit it and lost the game, this season we have a manager and a group of players who always give 110%, never stop pushing and genuinely seem to care and want to be here, regardless of whether you would like to see the ball moved a forward more quickly or are frustrated by our style, we have dropped points only 4 times in 21 games, conceded 2 goals in a league game for the first time yesterday and sit 11 points ahead of 3rd, now call me whatever you want, but if you can’t get behind that after last seasons shit show then you might be better taking up another hobby. 
 

last night was another example of the tactical set ups we are encountering week in week out, teams know if they come at us we will literally blow them away and it’s game over, every team are pretty much sitting back and only committing 2/3 players to press our back 5/6 their only hope is to try and stay in the game and then nick a goal.  Our ability to break down these defensive blocks is fantastic and the mentality is so ruthless. it was literally a defence vs attack training drill and the scoreline massively flattered them. A stronger ref and we would have had a 1st half penalty and they would be down to 10 men. 

Only slight negative was the 2nd goal which took a slight shine off the win but other than that another dominant performance and great result.

Just saying…

In domestic football, Spurs have won two league titles, eight FA Cups, four League Cups, and seven FA Community Shields. In European football, they have won one European Cup Winners' Cup and two UEFA Cups. Plus qualified for Europe more than most,just in the last 15 years,and not been near relegation…

So even being fanatical foxes fan, taking liberties,even amusingly putting them in the bottlers camp…They are as way off and in front of us in player potential Cache,and financial means, than they behind Other mixed /various top 6 clubs,plus I would throw in the should be Midland might Aston.Villa..

Have also fair bragging rights….The club, founded in 1874, competes in the Premier League, the top tier of the English football league system. The team have played at their home ground Villa Park since 1897. Aston Villa is one of the oldest and most successful clubs in England, having won the Football League First Division seven times, the FA Cup seven times, the League Cup five times, and the European Cupand European Super Cup once…

No matter if in the past, we can’t  seriously cook the books,and put in short periods of our own in the last, 10 years and claim any high ground…We alone could fill an off-sale backyard with bottles….

My School,my house,my boat,my family…strange measuring tools to kick ass with…Especially if suburbia is your

only highest neighbourhood…

 

But these or this is not why I am a LCFC foxes fan,and each season hope we plant our foot,and compete for the high ground.  It’s poor form trying to turn history or tradition on its head,when we can hold some nice flowers in the air…Give credit where it’s due,don’t initiate fables,but still stand proud what & where you mix your own shit,at anyone time..Life is living for your own experience,not trying to make failures and twist the truth of your successfull neighbours..

One thing about Cannon, he’s bigger than I thought he’d be! Tallish but looks like he has a bit of a physical presence about him. Early days and clearly not match sharp but looks like he’s decent at most things (pace, touch, pressing, shooting, movement) without having any immediately obvious standout qualities.

[Raj]

When we play that face paced attacking football no one could live with us in this league im sure.

then re revert to a borefest and nearly let a sh1te team like Millwall back into it.

 

Just go for it, fast tempo, kill the game so the early leavers can feck off at 70 minutes when its 3-0!!!

[Md9]

Another win on the board and a step closer back to the prem decent week with Leeds losing at Southampton drawing. Ipswich are here to stay I think by the looks of it which is fine rather them than Leeds go up. It’s not going to be perfect still not even half way through a season with a new manager. Even still top of the league on a ridiculous amount of points . Get to the prem get some new players in that possibly fit his system more and we could be a very good side.  
 

[Light66999]

I dont know if it was my ears playing up but one of our commentators really needs to learn to speak. Its Flemming, with a G not Flemmink. 

 

Anyone else hear that or am I losing it? Dunno why that wound me up so much 😫

How is that third goal not Ndidi?

Just saw the replay for the first time and wondering that myself

A couple of times in the last 5/10 minutes he went up for balls and when he didn't win them he sort of gave up the ghost. At least twice the second ball ended up dropping 5/6 feet away and there was no urgency to go after them, almost like he'd lost the aerial duel so gave up on it. Assuming (and hoping) that it was just down to fitness as I thought he'd be hungrier to win balls and impress.

A number of people booing them off at half time is laughable. Unless they were booing the ref, which seems pathetic.

 

I think it was the Ref they were Booing, Who was awful all game. 

[Clever Fox]

Another win, that's all that matters. NDiddi  and Winks I thought were both brilliant last night.

Delighted to see Winks step forward into the advanced role picking out lovely passes and keeping the attacks going.

I know the Opposition were poor but our passing has improved immensely, aside from Vesty's failed long pass.

We move on to Saturday and go again.

 

Onwards and Upwards we go.
