Millwall (H) Saturday 8th May, 12:30pm (3 Viewers)

Alkhen · May 4, 2021

Little bit early for a match thread but I just realised the KIck-off is scheduled for 12:30, does anyone know why?

I know all final fixtures need to kick off at the same time but why so early? thought maybe it was for TV coverage but there is a fairly big Prem match on at the same time. League 1 have it worse starting at noon on Sunday. Then for some reason League 2 are starting at 3pm Saturday. Really odd scheduling

Hasn’t last day of the season been like that for a while, with each leagues kick off times staggered? Or have I made that up?!

1ccfc · May 4, 2021

I wouldn't worry. We'll start when we want to start. Just ask the Sunderland fans.

Correct.

SlowerThanPlatt · May 4, 2021

Yeah I remember watching Barnsley beat Brentford to stay up last season, all Championship games were evening kick offs.

L2 are Saturday 3pm and L1 Sunday 12pm

Play the fans.

Ah Fair enough just seems mad to give the bigger league a lunch time kick off :/ id have thought TV audiences would be bigger later

Not a problem. Just as the kids if they want to watch an elephant and the lions

Play Tavares, Eccles, Burroughs, Reid, Bilson etc...He won't though

He wants to win and finish as high as we can. I agree with him.

I'd expect the first 3 to get some minutes.

Is Jordan Young fit? Would like to see him on the bench

Not sure about that
Millwall are known as a team who like to dish out a bit of intimidation
A team of kids wouldn't be the best way to counter it

Jagmannn · May 4, 2021

Is there any financial reasons for finishing higher in this league..?

Another red eye for me. Bacon eggs and a guinness

cov donkey kick · May 4, 2021

Bilson would be a good shout to start I think as not a lot of ability in our keepers it seems.

No Biamou, or is he too busy filming with Jasmine Hardman and Laura Hamilton?

Deleted member 5849 · May 4, 2021

I've never seen Billson (can we give him his extra l back please?). Does he have potential to ever be a first teamer, or is he just cheap squad filler?

From the reports I’ve read of the 23s this season he’s been their best player. Played against Gillingham in the cup then got a new contract until 2023 a few months later so must have impressed someone. Think he will get loaned out next season

Well that's encouraging... maybe he's the rough diamond then, if we went for an old guy for a season or two while he grows up.

SBchimp · May 4, 2021

personally I think Billson is the best shot stopper at the club and has a real presence in goal. Only question mark is around his kicking and distribution - which is not ideal when we play out from the back..

Frostie · May 4, 2021

Yes, potential is there but definitely too soon for the first team. He signed a new deal at Christmas but was kept with the U23s rather than loaned out this season to try & work on his distribution & our style of play as this is definitely his weakness.
As STP says I'd expect him to have a loan somewhere for a year before hopefully coming back & challenging.

I wouldn't go with that team.
You know how Millwall react when you take the Nee

Too young ?? Peter Shelton was 19 when he replaced the current England goalkeeper Gordon Banks at Leicester.

Les Sealey same age when he came into our team for the last six games of a relegation battle.
I’d play him against Millwall.

I’d play him Saturday.

Crazy comparison.

Oh dear Rupert. Shilton the record appearance holder for his country? Glad you’re not setting the bar too high

Bonkers but where did I actually say too young anyway?

Well robins could tell him to play it long also Burroughs could be in front of him and a shortage of CBs it maybe mcFadz and hyam the only ones fit so it might suit the personnel.

We've not done it quite so much since Wilson came in, who will put his foot through it more and getting us higher up the pitch.

Maybe give him this game to get the nerves of the debut over with and a big incentive to work on it over the summer. Then next season look at a loan.

Robins sort of gave up playing it out from the back with all the cock ups that cost goals over the season and that decision coincided with an upturn in form so prove the correct decision,and also stopped the argument that robins was stubborn about changing tactics.
