Swansea v Millwall

Swansea v Millwall, Sat 27 Sept, 12:30
Another early kick off, this time it is the Lions of Millwall who are the visitors. They come off the back of a 1-0 home win against Watford on Tuesday night. Our record against them is not too clever and they are a bit of a bogey side. In the corresponding fixture last October they scored a 90th minute winner for their first away win of the season. The reverse fixture last April was both teams last but one match of the season and it was another 1-0 win for the Dockers. We had won our previous five matches and it was our first defeat in seven matches.
Millwall subsequently missed out on the play-offs by two points, losing their final game at Burnley 3-1.
Their head-coach is the wiley and much travelled Alex Neil, previously of Norwich, Preston, Sunderland, Stoke and now Millwall.
For the Swans, they need to kick the habit of conceding late goals if they have any ambitions for this season.

A crucial week in my mind of three games coming up before the International break.
Millwall at home, early kick-off today, Blackburn away on Tuesday and Leicester at home next Saturday.
Conceding late goals needs sorting, is it a lack of concentration or is it fatigue. Birmingham 94’ goal conceded, 1 point dropped,
Hull 97’ goal conceded 2 points dropped.
Eight points from six games has been an average start and with the amount of investment that has gone into new players this season expectations are that we should be doing much better.
At the end of next week let us see where we are.

Hi guys, welcome to the sleepy board where only three of us post, ha ha!
I’ll be there for the early kick-off at 12:30, just going to milk the cows and get my horse and cart ready!
Really hoping we can sort out this Millwall side after four 1-0 defeats to them.
That we can finally click as a team and the new players can show their true form and why they were brought here.
C’mon the Swans!!

Swansea 1 (Vipotnik 12?) - Millwall 1 (Coburn 46?)
Another home draw and more points dropped as we give away a soft goal in first-half injury time. What is it with Swansea and late goals? The soft goal, set-piece cross back headed across goal to the far post where Coburn, surrounded by three Swansea players managed to head the ball in.
Vipotnik scored again for his sixth goal of the season.
Late on sub Idah goal is disallowed, Benda saves from Vipotnik but could not hold the ball, Idah dispossesses and scores but ref rules foul.

We are all frustrated:

Cursing the officials again. Allowed Millwall to get away with murder, they fouled us at every opportunity. Vipotnik pulled back in the box, penalty, Burgess fouled in the box, penalty, Benda lost the ball, Idah scored, ruled out for foul on Benda. Where is the referee assessor, is he watching these biased match officials or not. It’s happening in most games now and has to stop.
