Honeymoon period?
“Work harder” is definitely something needs to be drummed into these players heads as too many are playing below the levels we are accustomed to see them play at. Cutting out mistakes is another thing that needs to be instilled. My heart skips a beat whenever we try to thread a pass between 2 opposing players in our defensive third.
Robins never struck me as a very lucky guy. Came within a penalty kick of both the Prem and FA Cup final. Everything he achieved was through hard work, blood sweat and tears. However, the poor play and results of the team and ruthlessness of DK did him in. Don’t they say sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. I’ll take whatever good luck comes out way.
Honking take
Notts County goal wrongly disallowed then biamou scores a 3rd that's miles offside? Also, it was never a pen in the first leg. Yeah, he got a bit of luck.
Absolutely pathetic take but not surprised given the poster concerned
Apart from the Notts C semi-final you mean? They had a legitimate goal ruled out and at least one of ours was offside.
That Jonathan Forte offside was one of the most important offside calls in the clubs history I think.
They were in the ascendancy and would have gone on to win, IMO. I dread to think where we’d be now if we hadn’t gone up. Agree, it’s still my best game overall, the atmosphere afterwards was something else.
I agree he wasn’t a lucky manager because I don’t think such a thing exists.
I think we deserved it given the overwhelming possession of the ball we had
In the league 2 season he had to build a side from scratch.
Could’ve been given on field but no way VAR would’ve overturned either
Fair point. I was going by recent memory, but agree we rode our luck in that semi-final and that really started our rise up the leagues.
Most teams play a high press and Millwall certainly did. Think we dealt with it very well especially as our movement (as a team) seems to be a focus from the new coaching set up. Those passes look risky, but less so with fluid movement (difficult to predict pass intention). Previously to LF though, that movement wasn't there making those passes a massive risk with us forcing predicatable passes whilst under pressure. As much as I respect MR, it's one of the issues he didn't address and once we got found out, all teams knew to press our backline.
Tbh, I don't think it is that bad of a take
I'm the first leg of that Notts County semi final game we were giving a pen when their defender made a perfectly good tackle on Shipley. As mentioned the 2 nd leg they had a perfectly good goal disallowed for off side ( he wasn't offside ) we had two goals given that we're offside. Just watched Ref Watch ,there conclusion Collins was not fouled for the Millwall goal that was ruled out early on.
I have come back to this one, because the downplaying of Robins' achievement in getting us out of League 2 I find really irritating.
Disagree. They were well on top after they scored.
Apart from them then making it 2-2 but the goal being wrongly ruled out, you mean?
