Millwall (A) - Match Thread

The problem I have is, this game all started to go wrong when we got desperate. Exactly what most posters in this thread would have us do in this game. Quick, quick, commit, commit. 

 

We were actually playing some decent football up to that point, but Millwall were putting in a monumental defensive effort and an all round good (be it shithousing) performance.

 

Is it possible that sometimes the opposition might play well?

 

I'll say it again. This went wrong because we became impatient. This went wrong the moment we started doing what most of our fans wanted from the first whistle.

 

Birmingham second half is the blueprint. You probe. You build pressure. What you don't do is commit everyone forward and present the opposition with the only possible way for them to score.

 

Moments before their goal they had a free man down our right who they should have found. 

Nonsense, sorry mate I normally like your level headed posts but that’s so far off the mark.

 

We could play all night and not trouble their keeper.

 

Playing KDH/Ndidi on the wrong side of CM, Faes continuing to play when we have a leader on the bench in Coady again giving the ball away and being hit on the transition.

 

This is on Enzo.

Players pulling out of 50/50’s because they don’t want to jeapordise their summer moves 

And Rudkin will be amazed by that even though it happened last season and was a factor in our relegation.

Nah this is a load of shite

So Faes didn't lose it deep in their half before they went and scored their goal then? 

 

We didn't start hoofing it aimlessly at our wingers hoping for the best?

 

Ok.

No. We’ve been poor from minute one because from minute one we’ve moved the ball too slowly and had no movement off the ball.

 

Millwall have got in our faces and we have been asking each individual player to do something special with the ball under that sort of pressure.

 

It’s basic stuff. Good management is giving the player on the ball more options by pulling defenders around with good movement off the ball and moving the ball quickly so defenders cannot get set and mark everyone easily.

 

We’d be better off being like Millwall - aggressive. There is no substitute for aggression and tempo, regardless of individual quality.

Be honest - both teams have been shocking. One moment of quality from Millwall won it.

 

Once again, we simply didn't do enough.

This happens against us a lot! Have a crap load of ball but they break away and score a long shot.

 

Were way too weak in transition

We weren’t doing anything.
