Collins needs a cap

For England?

Shove that in your pipe and smoke it @Blind-Faith you utterly clueless clown.

He's already been smoking something else in there

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Simms made a hell of a lot of difference when he came on. we ended with our best front 4.

The notion that he doesn’t work hard either is just utter rubbish.

 

[Grendel]

Are you happy now?

Radio again today?

 

[Martin180]

Can't be arsed to read through the usual drivel while we were losing from our out of work professional managers on here

Started slowly but improved and totally bossed the game from the half hour mark . Didn't think anyone played particularly badly , Torp and Wright standouts for me and a mention for Latibeaudaire who battled hard in the middle after being switched

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Because they made zero attempt to attack him - defensively he’s a huge liability

I think it’s fair to say he looks better going forward.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Referee was just terrible again today I'm sorry. How many times has Saka got to get chopped for him to be given a foul?

We were poor in the first half. Millwall did deserve what they got as they went further back but the two subs made a huge difference - we didn’t look at the races prior to that

Dasilva was fine today, didn’t do much wrong

He’s the battering ram, was the same in the Leicester game when we struggled to break them down. Ellis came on and bullied them and added another dimension to the attack.

Him and Haji are musts together in these physical battles, especially if teams are gonna go 5+ at the back.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Not kept a clean sheet in 2024 yet. Really would make our lives a lot easier if we stopped giving away soft goals whoever the back line is.

Disagree , we finished the first half well on top.

 

[Astute]

You'd think I would learn. But up to the point of writing that post, he had got it wrong. Should have been 2 or 3 down inside the first 20 minutes and the first half was very dubious.

Move Wright out to the left and a lot changes

It looked so obvious to me.

If they hadn't scored in the first half and we did it would have been a decent 1st half. You could see them tiring. But they had the lead so we were shite....

Wright is excellent running in on the left. We all agree there. What I don't agree with is he is shite because he plays better running in on the left.

He needs to learn the offside rules though.

He worked very hard today tbf, as he did on Tuesday, but that hasn't always been the case.

Hopefully he has started to understand what's required here, and can get more goals.

If he starts scoring regularly we will be an excellent team, as CF has been our weakest position for much of the season imo.

 

[shmmeee]

Thought for their numbers while they were ahead Millwall were pretty loud. Fair play.

 

[PVA]

Dasilva was fine today, didn’t do much wrong

Got caught out by a diagonal ball early on but improved from there and was good in the second half.

 

[Astute]

Any idea what the gate was?

A big metal thing where the scanners don't work properly.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Waste of money Wright is on for 22 Goals+Assists this season.

Thought he was decent today, he's not as.good defensively as Bidwell but he is better technically

I suppose they won't know until all the people still queueing outside get in...

24000 plus

We arguably should have been behind even before that chance, just couldn't live with the long balls going forward and it looked very slow and ponderous going forward. The criticism of Wright was made to look stupid in short order anyway, and maybe people really will learn from that today.

Scored at least 2 goals a game except for once since well into last year. You won't keep many clean sheets if you play attacking football.

They aren't mutually exclusive!

They aren't but it's a valid point.

Less of a problem if you score 2 most games

 

[Travs]

Its small margins....

We could've been a goal down, or a goal up, before they even took the lead.

Although we were well on top 2nd half, i was starting to worry about our ability to break them down, until we got the pen.... 3minutes later we're winning.

Millwall are a tough side to play against.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They aren't but it's a valid point.

Not sure it is judging by the types of goals we're conceding. They're pretty avoidable for the most part.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Only 1 home loss all season so far

Delighted with the win, as much as we weren't brilliant it must be remembered that we couldn't beat Millwall at home last season with the two players who shall not be named.

We've come on a great deal because we always score.

Yup. That's pretty much the way I saw it too.

Think I heard he’s now got nine goals in his last 14 starts. Plus any assists

Yes he has mate, he’s mustard. Looks so dangerous attacking the defender 1on1 coming in from the left.
