Millwall (A) - FA Cup - Match Thread

[bovril]

Really hope if we go up we keep Albrighton. Brilliant player to bring in in games like this

[Noahfence]

Really enjoy cup games like this when you get to see different players. Nelson doing well. Yunus & Casadei growing in confidence you feel

Depends if Albrighton still has it in the tank to see it out. Love Albrighton, but more important to try out maswanhise for a bit surely?

I'd say Albrighton needs match fitness as much as anyone and it would almost seem disrespectful to take a Premier League winner off whilst he's one of the best performers on the pitch. Unless he starts flagging early I'd prefer Maswanhise for Akgun.

Great to see Nelson getting good reviews

[justfoxes]

Nice lead lads but sometimes bit sloppy with passing need to feed the Cannon ball, those lads doing well but need to really hit millwall a bit harder in the 2nd half gave them too much time and space on the ball first half !

COME ON YOU FABULOUS FOXES LETS BURY TJEM 2nd HALF 🦊🦊

Millwall had a fantastic half, peppered our goal with shots, but are 2-0 down.

 

Football, it's a funny old game

 

Not a surprise to see a disjointed performance with so many changes, but also a testament to Enzo and his team's coaching that we can score goals like the second one.

Millwall were always going to have a go.

 

Home cup game, newish manager - this isn’t a park the bus, try to Nick a point scenario.

 

They’ll have another go after the break, so we’ll need to be on it from the start of the second half - and hopefully grab a third to really kill the game as a contest.

Catching up on the goals at half time - the state of this Millwall loving commentator. Honeyman's "great ball" intercepted and Millwall end up 2-0 down. I don't think it's that great if your pass is quickly followed by it ending up in your own net

Hope we bring Ricky off.

 

Doesn't need to be risked.   

I agree but he’s the only one with a quality pass in him to get us out of Milwall’s high press at the minute 

[MGLCFC]

Not often we are 2 up at half time. Hopefully an early goal in the second half would kill the game off.

Yea I'd prefer him for akgun but he's more of a winger and I'd prefer to play him where he's comfortable.  That being said, Enzo will do what he sees is right and no doubt, he'll get it right

Yep we’re not even deserving of being on the same pitch as Millwall apparently

This is so valuable getting other players in the squad some game time. Like you say it's impressive that the second goal looks like one from the first string

Mystifying he's barely been used yet. We don't need a new centre half this window.

after his showing today, think he'll prove we need another number 8 type midfielder more

[Harry96]

Yunus and casadei have been lively pleasing

to see

They have played well to be fair. 

[MancFox24]

Weird half. None of our players have played badly on the ball but we've still been far too open. Goes to show the importance of the work rate of Mavididi, Fatawu, KDH and Ndidi to this system. Casedei has looked alot better going forward but needs to be more aggressive off the ball

[Langston]

You can see the swagger go up a notch with Casadei once he’s in a game, looked really confident after his goal. 

[kingfox]

Good to see Casadei playing like a player who knows he needs to step up, especially with Wilf’s absence. 
 

Big month for him I feel.

[Countryfox]

Keeper looks good to me so no worries shifting the other two ..  and if Yunus beefed up a bit he would be a good addition  ..  overall quite pleased with what I’m seeing  .. .. 

[Dr The Singh]

Doyle just needs to sit back abit, they are exploiting the space he leaves

[Dahnsouff]

Would like Cannon to get one, then take him off for ..... someone

Keeper looked very good with hands and feet so far 👍🏻
