Millwall v Swansea

[Estoban]

Disappointing ending after the fightback, to say the least.
We looked jaded today after three out of the four holiday games in ten days were away from home, whereas Millwall had the reverse, one away game and three at home. How ridiculous and unfair.
Matos tried to alleviate the problem by utilising squad rotation but it didn’t work and we were overrun first half.
Wide open on the wings, cross after cross came in, Samuel-Smith beaten every time and Galbraith almost as bad.
Once the ball came over the centre-backs were not winning the headers. This is Millwall’s specialty, they are well known for it with their giant players dominating in the air.
We bounced back second-half with the equaliser but couldn’t get that crucial second goal, then lost momentum with our substitutions.
Millwall then brought on their subs and started to dominate again.
In injury time we had a corner, we should have taken it short, returned the ball to the corner flag and tried to keep it there but we didn’t. We lost possession, they broke away and scored the winner.
I hope it was lesson learnt and we concentrate on game management next time.
If you can’t win make sure you don’t lose!
