Matchday Thread: Millwall v Derby

[QUOTE=swaledale;40588578 Wonder why he is slumming it in the championship?[/QUOTE]

He's barely good enough for Parks footie but remains 'one of the boys', might as well stick the whistle up his 'arris'!
A points a point so no complaints but we need a few wins away to avoid putting too much pressure on the home form.

On the balance of play, more than we could reasonably expect, IMO. They had more shots on target than we had shots. We scored with our only one on target. That's football.

Having looked, long and hard, at the offside decision that meant we didn't get the penalty, the Assistant Referee got it wrong. I understand why. It's because he's forward of the last outfield defender and that distorts his view making CBT look as if he's offside when he's actually not. I can't blame Attwell for it as he merely acted on the "advice" of his assistant. I can blame him for not giving us a free kick when CBT was wrestled to the floor to start the move that led to their first shot. IMO, he had a poor game but was consistent in his poorness.

Please for Yates for breaking his duck. The keeper got a hand to it when it appeared to already be over the line, he pushed the ball forwards into the back of the post which sealed it for me and the ref's watch should have signalled it (if goalline tech was in use).

Felt for Nels on their equaliser. A poor bounce saw him only able to play the ball onto their player and the rest is history.

On the negative side, for some reason we, yet again, made way too many poor passes that failed to find a teammate, even over short distances. That is a problem that needs sorting, pronto.

PW said post game it was more 2 points lost than one gained. IMO, Millwall have far more right to that thought. On another day it might have been 4 had it not been for some average shooting from them and good saves from JWZ.

Come Tuesday, Oxford are a bettetr footballing side and, based on yesterday's performance, we'll have to up our game, significantly, to get anything from the game.

Yes your 1st point on the road with your only shot on target so well done but as a Lions fan it was disappointing but I was pleased our new signing had the composure to run from the halfway line to score our goal. Great atmosphere at the game though.

We know we're well behind the eight ball at present Claw and glad for every point we can get so a draw at your place is more than acceptable.
Sounds like you enjoyed the match if not the result, all the best for the rest of the season (except at our place of course).

Has anyone ever seen Atwell have anything other than a poor game?
As above…pleased that Yates got some reward. Unlike above…I fancy us against Oxford.
