A message from my Millwall supporting friend (he's actually a nice guy):
"Honestly mate, I can’t describe how bad these reserves are that will come in. The two centre backs starting next week have played a combined total of 7mins this season. We’re totally fucked as they have no pace...
I would say that Sakamoto, Milan, Wright, Eccles, BTA, JDS are examples of players who come across well. Others like Simms, Sheaf, Kitching seem a bot more serious but that doesn't mean they are horrible people.
I like a lot of these players. Lots of the same people last season saying 'I love this team' when we beat Wolves and went to Wembley, as well as other results. This idea that players are unlikeable because the team underperforms is weird to me. Putting the 3 players who used to play for Barnsley...
I just checked and Tavares has been with us for over 4 seasons and has made 21 league appearances, nearly off the bench I think. Strange to keep him if he never plays, seems a waste of a career, he turns 24 in Jan.
I wouldn't mind seeing Tavares play sometimes, has he had any games in the league this season? He isn't the best player but has done ok for us, he's quick so you'd think 20 minutes at the end of a game would be worth it sometimes. Did he fall out with Robins I wonder?
I wonder if Dovin has some kind of psychological issue, or homesick or something like that. I though he was ok and it seemed odd to drop him having spent money on him. Or maybe he was brought in for development. Either way I don't think there's much difference between Collins and Wilson, both...
I agree that we've played quite well. But we have clearly set up to simply clear the ball whenever we can and not worry too much about where it goes. It just looks like a team playig against a team way ahead of them and play for 0-0. I hope we hold them off until 65 mins and then make 3 chages...
It'll be a tough one but on the back of 4/5 good results surely confidence will be building. I think we should aim to win but a draw would be a decent result. We are ticking off a lot of the difficult fixtures, we need to make sure we start winning the 'easier' ones. I would definitely start...
Why is everyone so weird about clapping ex-players. These two were superb players for us and both seemed to genuinely love the club and fans. Just because a player leaves that stuff doesn't cease to have happened. Give them a good welcome, be nice people
Football is one line of work where location is not really considered. I suppose it applies to film and tv etc also. People assume that living in temporary accommodation is fine if you’re a manager. See your family every other week and maybe only when you get to fly home. It’s weird. I wouldn’t...
