MillersMad Matchthread - Miwwwaww v THE MILLERS

[frogmiller]

I suppose that if your expectations were high in Saturday then tonight they'll be decidedly lower. Form a team that looked so good a fortnight before to the team that played Huddersfield didn't look like it had ever played together. I blame the international break!

I suppose that we can say that the players have something to proove tonight but we know it rarely works that way! I'm not expecting anything tonight regarding the result but I want to see a bit of character.

The pressure will be mounting in the management team if the money that they've spent doesn't lead to reusult. I know that it's early and against the teams that we've played we've don ok points wise. But winning is a big part of the game and Tony Stewart will want us in the Championship next season at all costs. This may sound drastic and I'm not for one minute wanting Taylor to lose his job but it is what it is and Neil Warnock is available after tonight.

I hope you're feeling happier than I XD

Enjoy the match fellow Millers.

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!

Ps. lets play our away matches in red when there's no clash!

[Heliosphan]

I think the line-up will be interesting tonight. MT has to decide whether to let the same players redeem themselves or whether to make some changes. Personally, I would go with the latter.

Bramall seems to have had a knee problem so perhaps now is the time to try out young Seb at left back, assuming he's ready of course. I'd also like to see Nombe replace Hugill from the off. I'd even consider giving Clucas a starting role, his experience could be the difference tonight.

Have to perform better than Saturday whatever the team is. No Bramhall, Cafu plus the others still in the treatment room. UTM!!

[fc_miller]

If we dont play in Red, can we have a different chant for corners.
the commentator for hudders was having a laugh about it when we had a corner and shouting reds even tough we are clearly playing on black.

Miiiiilllllerrrrrrs, Miiiillllerrrrrs, Millllerrs, Millers will do

[fc_miller]

Clucas to play maybe, need someone a bit calmer on the ball

[MagyarMiller]

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!

Ps. lets play our away matches in red when there's no clash!

And pretend we're at home 😆

I came close to a last minute decision to booking train and going to this, but the £10 ifollow marginally won out over the £200+ day out and it was a bit tight to get back to Euston for 2330 from deepest sarf landan

[Back of the net]

1-1 tonight from me.
3-0 defeat according to YAK and 2 others.
Pocket 2-1 win 🤦🏻*♂️.
Come on you whatever colour we play in.
It’s cold here.

I’d take a draw but I’ve always liked pockets predicting better so three points it is ;D

TEAM vs
@MillwallFC
| Johansson, Lembikisa, Blackett, Clucas, Hugill, Onyedinma, Rathbone, Humphreys, Tiehi, Revan, Nombe.

SUBS | Phillips, Eaves, Green, Kelly, Odoffin, Appiah, McGuckin, Douglas

[PerigordMiller]

Evenin chaps & chapesses.

No expectations whatsoever tonight. If we concede first then may as well have an early night.

To look at the bigger picture, just over 5 years ago we beat S****horpe in the play-off semifinal. Last night they went out of the cup in the qualifying preliminary dogschance round to Brackley.

[millertop]

Bramall got **** abuse for faking injury last game. hmm

[pip_y]

Johansson, Lembikisa, Blackett, Clucas, Hugill, Onyedinma, Rathbone, Humphreys, Tiehi, Revan, Nombe.

SUBS | Phillips, Eaves, Green, Kelly, Odoffin, Appiah, McGuckin, Douglas.

[PerigordMiller]

1 light on the bench, can't work out who? ___ ah Bramall not playing

Good to see a front partnership

[pip_y]

Norton Cuffey starts, Wes on the bench

[gru]

Great minds work alike! Like I said Save Odoffin to cover midfield & centre back. Fred or Geen making front 3 up. Best side we could have put out. Bring it on!

That’s 3 changes for us

[pip_y]

Looks like the strongest we have at the moment.

[mygiddypant]

Off-tangent, but here we go.

Watched piggies last night hoping to see a thrashing. Terrible game; Boro were awful. How bad has Dan the Man been to not play in that team?

Wonder if he has any regrets?

[mygiddypant]

Dodgy conditions tonight increases the prospects of a cock-up leading to a lucky score.

Their forum offers some hope. There's talk of the possibility of relegation and their dodgy defence. Can we take advantage?

[PerigordMiller]

Looking forward to see what Nombe offers up front. Hopefully an eye for goal

[redhouse]

Great minds work alike! Like I said Save Odoffin to cover midfield & centre back. Fred or Geen making front 3 up. Best side we could have put out. Bring it on!

Fred will be playing right of midfield and Clucas left with 2 up front one of which will drop deeper when defending

[CTMilller]

Morning (just) Frog'n'all.

Looks like it's tipping it down on my i-follow screen

Don't think we'll see a repeat of August 10 2002 but we live in hope...

[PerigordMiller]

Be a test for Revan against BNC tonight.

[Heliosphan]

Great minds work alike! Like I said Save Odoffin to cover midfield & centre back. Fred or Geen making front 3 up. Best side we could have put out. Bring it on!

So you predicted dropping Odoffin for Clucas and playing Nombe instead of Green OR Fred?

Are you some kind of genius?

[mellowmiller]

Both teams wearing white shorts.
Surprised that's allowed by the referee.

[frogmiller]

This ref already

[frogmiller]

This ref already

Their 3 on Hugill can be classed a asaul

[wrinkly]

Perhaps Hugill and Wallace can go and have a scrap in the carpark - winner allowed back in

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Would love to see us put our foot on the ball and show a bit of composure, at the moment it’s all kick and rush and giving the ball away.

[frogmiller]

Solid start really

[Edinburghmiller]

Would love to see us put our foot on the ball and show a bit of composure, at the moment it’s all kick and rush and giving the ball away.Yep and while we’re doing that they are passing the ball around nicely!

[frogmiller]

Hey Perigordmiller

I’ve just found a bottle of Old Peculier than may have been left by you!

Thank you ❤️

[avondalemiller]

....this is worse than at Huddersfield.....nothing in their half.

[Beaufighter]

Conditions are atrocious, and we are worse. This is dire.

[avondalemiller]

........and now all red button matches have gone off..................

[Beaufighter]

26% possession. Surprised it’s double figures tbh.

[frogmiller]

What was fred Dimner doing there?

[Beaufighter]

Yup

[Edinburghmiller]

What was Fred doing there? Straight to them. We are so lucky they can’t shoot on target. Oh!!!

[frogmiller]

That’s some strike!

[mellowmiller]

This is awful.
What do they do in training?
1-0 😡

[ragingpup]

Not good. Just pressure on us with no release until the inevitable goal

[avondalemiller]

...just back on and we're 1-0 down

[kevthemaltbymiller]

And seconds later 1 down, good strike though.

[Edinburghmiller]

That’s some strike!Indeed it was.

[fc_miller]

Zero pressing from Fred

[Edinburghmiller]

Shock news! We have a corner!

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Several players don’t seem to have touched the ball yet!

[Heliosphan]

........and now all red button matches have gone off..................

Yes. I missed the goal.

Usual garbage from Sky.

[avondalemiller]

Several players don’t seem to have touched the ball yet!

...and the others have given it away...............

[Beaufighter]

The away attendance should be counted with +11 as they are just ****ing spectators in this. Worst performance I can remember so far.

[frogmiller]

At least Teihi isn’t neshing challengeesy

[avondalemiller]

....Hugil fouling everyone has usual......

[redhouse]

Playing 2 up front away from home is not working we are just getting overrun in midfield

[frogmiller]

Great challenge on Dred 😮

[Edinburghmiller]

Perhaps if we kick the ball harder to each other the ball might reach a red shirt?

[mellowmiller]

Perhaps if we kick the ball harder to each other the ball might reach a red shirt?

Well we are passing to players in white shorts 🤔

[PerigordMiller]

Hey Perigordmiller

I’ve just found a bottle of Old Peculier than may have been left by you!

Thank you ❤️

:star:

[avondalemiller]

1-0 and playing like that is a result, we just have to step it up now with the wind behind us...............

[millersrus]

Awful
Shockingly poor.
Is this the same tame who were playing so well a few weeks ago.

[frogmiller]

Can’t believe that we’re still in this to be honest.

But in it we are. It’s a tale of two halves maybe


COME ON ROTHERHAM

[mellowmiller]

1-0 and playing like that is a result, we just have to step it up now with the wind behind us...............

And maybe bring Merlin on as a sub.

[Edinburghmiller]

Think we’re lucky to be only one down. They are strolling round us. Trying to stay positive!

[welovebooth]

What a load off crap

Nor 1 shot on target..

It's a practise game for millwall practising there shooting and passing.

Taylor needs to change tactics

[PerigordMiller]

One team playing with confidence, one team not believing at all.

[ragingpup]

Pretty much attack v defence for the half. They'd come at us for long periods, we'd soak up the pressure until they had an effort at goal. We'd struggle up the pitch, get into their half, lose it and then repeat. Poor stuff.

[millersrus]

Yep, still in it. Hopefully something will change.

[Citizen Erased]

If we get to 10 games and he's playing like this........

[mellowmiller]

And people wonder why we get the "teams like Rotherham" tag.
Let's hope we can improve dramatically in the second half.

[millersrus]

We had one minute where we got hold and kept the ball.
They aren’t good but we are making them look good,

[Back of the net]

Need an extra man in midfield. We’re getting overrun.
Have to say though our lack of intensity is frightening.
Worst 45 mins I can remember

[mygiddypant]

We look to be playing for wet conditions - hit it over the top, and hope. They are playing football.

[PerigordMiller]

What a load off crap

Nor 1 shot on target..

Agree with the sentiment WLB, what would you do?

Peronally I'd put on Kelly for Hugill for a start. Maybe McGuckin for Fred

[fc_miller]

Fred is not a wing back, wasted being pushed back like cheio last year.

Lembikisa is not a RCB, keeps moving out of position. We either need to move him to RWB and use another CB, or swap to 4 at the back, with Fred and Green on the wings pushing their wing backs into defending.

No point having 2 upfront either neither csn hold the ball to bring others into play.

Watchin with Millwall commentary, they talk about us more than their own team with pity in their voice. They feel sorry for us, and you can see why.

[millersrus]

About the worst performance since ,, well the last trip here

[Heliosphan]

This formation isn't for me at all. Lembikisa as part of a back 3? Wtf is going on?

Get Hugill off, Green on and revert to a 433 and let's stop this nonsense.

[Derbymiller]

Absolute garbage, no passion, no desire, no belief and we cannot pass a ball and it is like an attack v defence training session, how we are 3 or 4 down is beyond belief.
Hugil is crap, all this get him support and he will be ok is a joke the bloke is a waste of a shirt and wage
1.2m for Nombe haa haaa the guy looks like he has just come from a ver poor non-league team
The formation, the tactics are none existing, do we have a coach at Rotherham because whoever he is needs sacking. They have had 3 free headers in the box do we have a CB at Rotherham.
We have spent a lot of money and this team and squad is worse than last seasons.
I thought saturday was bad but this is worse, MT is looking like a man way out of his depth. How many more away performamnces like this do we have to endure, i feel for the millers that travel I hope the players give you something in the 2nd half.

[Back of the net]

Can’t remember a worse performance than this.

[Derbymiller]

Anyone got Neil Warnocks phone number.............

[wrinkly]

I had very little enthusiasm for this game. I didn't expect the players to have even less.

[GlennMiller]

God this is bloody awful. Where's the composure gone? Millwall can pick a pass with ease, we look lost in the headlights. You always hope for a lucky break, but we get nowhere near their goal for luck to have any impact!!! Dismal. Sort it MT!!!

[MILLERSTALE]

Why are we playing without strikers ?

Lack of proper recruitment has never been more obvious, nobody to play right back and no cover at centre back, Fred looked brilliant up front when he arrived, now he is wing back not getting forward, Nombe and Hugill would struggle to get a game at Parkgate ! We now have the complete set of strikers who equal the worst we have ever had ?

[PerigordMiller]

I had very little enthusiasm for this game. I didn't expect the players to have even less.

I'm agreeing with you Wrinks. I had no Expectations, but even they were Greater than this.

I'm thinking of going rutting with the stags, sounds like they're enjoying themselves.

[wrinkly]

Come on now ffs.

[fc_miller]

Back to 451 / 433, now lets have a go

[sawmiller]

FT score? Repeat of last visit and 0-3? - unless there is a quantum difference second half. Feel for the poor souls who've travelled to watch this live

Nombe and Clucas off?

[avondalemiller]

Nombe and Clucas off, Odoffin and Green on.....

[wrinkly]

I'm agreeing with you Wrinks. I had no Expectations, but even they were Greater than this.

I'm thinking of going rutting with the stags, sounds like they're enjoying themselves.

They would be XD

[frogmiller]

Bit better

[wrinkly]

Got me off my seat then - bugger!

[millersrus]

Looked a goal goal to me

[Edinburghmiller]

We’ve scored!! Oh!

[frogmiller]

Rathbone getting frustrated 😂

[avondalemiller]

............very poor.

[frogmiller]

What the ****

[millersrus]

Can see where this is going

[Edinburghmiller]

Well that’s their 2nd! How poor was that defending!

[mellowmiller]

Embarrassing

[ronniesboots]

Absolutely. Bloody. Awful

[frogmiller]

What a ball from Rathbone

[Edinburghmiller]

Bad luck Green. Great pass. Cmon!

[ragingpup]

Poor clearance from Blackett. Straight back out to the central part of the area to tee their fella up.

[gru]

No point boring long posts. Give ball away you get punished. End of.

[PerigordMiller]

Must be desperate, Eaves coming on

[Edinburghmiller]

Oh no!! Eaves is coming on. Not sure I can watch that.

[frogmiller]

Eaves coming on to give fouls away 😂

[wrinkly]

Cometh the hour
Cometh
Oh forget it

[mellowmiller]

Millwall haven't even broken sweat!

[Edinburghmiller]

Hugill/Eaves not a lot of difference

[PerigordMiller]

Oh no!! Eaves is coming on. Not sure I can watch that.

See you behind the sofa Eds XD

[avondalemiller]

Eaves coming on to give fouls away ��

......if he gets near enough to someone.............

[sawmiller]

Watch Eaves grab a hat trick...

I'd like some humble pie please

[PerigordMiller]

Need a bit of mustard on me sausage

[Beaufighter]

Can’t see anything good happening now we’ve got 21st Century Bos on.

[sawmiller]

Need a bit of mustard on me sausage


oooh errr...

[sawmiller]

Can’t see anything good happening now we’ve got 21st Century Bos on.


at least Bos could trap a ball - our current lot seem more suited to trapping nerves

[GlennMiller]

Is our manager thick or just deluded. Eaves ahead of Kelly is madness. Totally disillusioned!

[gru]

Swith Green to left more effective there.

[frogmiller]

Need a bit of mustard on me sausage

Home alone? Use the French stuff 😂

[PerigordMiller]

Home alone? Use the French stuff ��

Dee John ?

[frogmiller]

Dee John ?

Oui John

[PerigordMiller]

Oui John

Better than David Colman's

[frogmiller]

Norton cuffy played well

[sawmiller]

sadly we look like a team that's out of it's depth on a damp pavement

[avondalemiller]

Why did he stop the game for their player down with cramp???

[wrinkly]

Norton cuffy played well

Yes - certainly better than any of ours (damning with faint praise)

[PerigordMiller]

sadly we look like a team that's out of it's depth on a damp pavement


We don't look the least threatening Saw.

How can we be so different at home?

[frogmiller]

Different date same Shyte!

It looks like unless we can keep Cafu fit we’re down 🤬

[Lolmorgan]

I wonder what T/S is thinking.

[Lolmorgan]

We don't look the least threatening Saw.

How can we be so different at home?

Because M/T try’s to play a different game.

[Edinburghmiller]

I’ve had enough! In fact I’d had enough at HT

[frogmiller]

Not seeing what Apiah brings to the party

[wrinkly]

We don't look the least threatening Saw.

How can we be so different at home?

I fear that, on Saturday, we won't be so different at home.

[Edinburghmiller]

Chance for Eaves which Kelly would have made a better job of

[avondalemiller]

wtf has Blackett been doing the last 30 mins............ffs

[Citizen Erased]

Not seeing what Apiah brings to the party

Panic signing.

Glad I get free train travel. Shocking.

[Edinburghmiller]

Great strike from a proper striker!

[GlennMiller]

Inept crap!!

[PerigordMiller]

Evenin chaps & chapesses.

No expectations whatsoever tonight. If we concede first then may as well have an early night.

To look at the bigger picture, just over 5 years ago we beat S****horpe in the play-off semifinal. Last night they went out of the cup in the qualifying preliminary dogschance round to Brackley.

I feel I have wasted some time of my life tonight.

But at least we are not S****horpe.

[PerigordMiller]

Not seeing what Apiah brings to the party

Is it a party?

[kevthemaltbymiller]

My worry is does these type of so-called better footballers we have signed have it them come mid January when we are in the thick of a relegation scrap.

[PerigordMiller]

Anyone heard of our new signing, Glen Grant?

[avondalemiller]

Can it get any worse? Eaves...wtf, he's so slow it's a crime. We look a beaten side once they score.......

We have shown nothing tonight, can't imagine what TS is thinking.................

If we play like that on Sat, Preston will get an hat full..........

[avondalemiller]

My worry is does these type of so-called better footballers we have signed have it them come mid January when we are in the thick of a relegation scrap.

....we're in it now, we could be cast adrift in Jan.

[wrinkly]

Anyone heard of our new signing, Glen Grant?

Plenty of spirit
