Millwall finished 9th in the Champ, and only just missed out on the play-off's. And are probably the most physical sides in the league. Tough, championship hardened side, who are one of the better sides of the division. No outstanding player, just a solid unit, who all know their jobs. We matched them today, in an even game, and it was a great barometer for how the season will go. We stood toe to toe physically, and caused them lots of problems second half. Dack unlucky in the first half, which they controlled and played well. For the first 25 mins we showed them too much respect. Once we got in the game, we bossed it. But I only went, and saw the game. The best way of having an opinion, is by not going, taking all the facts, and going ultra negative. Definately a balanced view.
Auks, I thought today was decent. A good start. Once Palmer clicks, he will be great. He'll give the ball away, but that one time he tries something different, that comes off, it will be worth it. It's going to be good watch him, Dack & Armstrong link up. The one who impressed me most was Rothwell when he came on. He looks a very balanced footballer. Classy, fast running with the ball. Had a great shot well saved. He looks very promising. But it's only one game. Evans started poorly, but got better.
Smallwood worries me. I'm not even 100% on Mulgrew at this level, week in week out. I believe we are even looking at a loan deal,for Bauer. Bennett is great, but limited. The keeper is the same with stopping shots, his distribution is poor, as his is confidence on crosses. I'm all for this team spirit thing. And Mowbray will give chances to all the lads who got us promoted. Some are going to kick on at this level, Dack & Lenihan. Who will produce while they remain with us. But some aren't good enough for this level, week in week out. I can see now, that of the side playing today, about 6 will remain mainstays. We will definately enter the loan market, and we will kick on.
Where I get a little confused, what have either of you seen to be so sure we will struggle, but every single other side will all have good seasons? I can try to understand having a default negative, setting. But I'm just wondering what you have seen in these sides (every other league club in this division) analysed their transfers, to know for sure we will be one of the worst?
Fair enough, Auks says 14th which realistic.
But also, this posting style Saxo. Like its factual .....Milwall are one of the poorer sides in this league .....fact .....Rovers will be the 4the worst side in this division, ....fact
Call me Mr Positve. But this is where I just can't let you carry on without pulling you up. It's not a fact. Don't post it as one. I've explained my reasoning, I try to discuss it, and you either make fun of the length of my post. Or just ignore me. It's so frustrating, and I just think why am I bothering. And after a while it just descends into name calling, and winding up. I've done my best to try and get an understanding, I guess I'll get no answer as always.
