Bramall can't even take a corner along with Eaves both terrible signings. To keep picking points up while January window feel we've got to go 4-5-1. Harding Hall Wood or Peltier McCart back 4 Norton-Cuffy Wiles Barlaser Rathbone or Odoffin Chieo across middle Chieo or Norton-Cuffy wide left. Kelly up front.
Of course he selected that side, but did you seriously expect it to be any different for his first game? It's going to take some time for him to properly assess what he's got to work with and we have to be patient.

Positives...
That's as bad as we've played all season. Rudderless, lacking up front etc. etc, all of which lays bare what the main problems are. On the face of it, MT is a canny manager and will get onto it. He needed to see that.
Wiles looked more up for it. He didn't have a good game but he didn't hide.
Effort generally was there, but it was all disjointed and lacking in confidence. Hopefully MT is a good motivator, if he is, he'll get them back on track.
Millwall should have waltzed it 3-1 but they didn't. From what I've seen so far, this league isn't as good as previous seasons. We don't look massively out of our league.
It's still the best squad of players we've ever had. They've not suddenly become crap overnight.
Poor performance, but we ground out a point.
MT had the sense to sit in the "away" dug-out so that he could get in the lino's ear. Pretty much like Warne did.
