Hold up play from Billy again was tip top for the 2nd

 

[Sheffsteel]

Got to say......Sharp has not only worked hard today but he’s also shown moments of class.
If anyone was writing him off....today he’s shown he’s still (at least) a top end Championship player.....he’s been impressive today.

 

[DerbyStar]

Should have been 3. Oh Billy. That IS a sitter.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Sharp tried to place it...should have leathered into the roof of the net. Still had a good game

 

[Iceybabey]

Billy's been quality today, deserved a goal.

 

[DerbyStar]

Billy's been quality today, deserved a goal.

Should have had one. Golden opportunity. But he’ll have to cope with the 2 assists

 

[MorettiBlade]

Should have been 3. Oh Billy. That IS a sitter.

I thought keeper did quite well there to be honest, in respects to making himself quite big on the angle. He didn't give Billy much space, but.... That said, you would have put your house on Billy slotting it home when 1 on 1 like that.

 

[YES Blade]

Great performance in the end, I’m more confident we could cope with the odd injury or suspension with the players we’ve got to bring in.

 

[S6 Blade]

Job done.
Not great first half. Fully in control second

I’ll have anyone in the next round apart from the grunters over the road!

 

[robbiez666]

Good win. Mixed performance, but we were the better team overall.

I thought our best players were K Freeman, C Robinson and B Sharp (although he missed two one-on-ones!)

I'm really not convinced Osborn is a left wingback. He looks much better in midfield. Would rather see him in that Fleck role than Freeman tbh.

 

[S40BLADE]

Sharp, Basham, Norwood and Besic outstanding today in a tough game.

 

[Ranmoorblade]

We’re going to win as Benjamin Bloom is going. ⚔

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Such a solid and professional performance.

Second half was excellent. No criticism at all, I'm just gutted Billy didn't get a deserved goal, missed an absolute sitter last 5mins. Billy was immense.

 

[ThatJa]

Bash motm for me.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Great performance in the end, I’m more confident we could cope with the odd injury or suspension with the players we’ve got to bring in.

I agree. I think the backup players are starting to slot into Wilder’s style of play now.
Probably due to a few extra month’s training.
Helped keeping Bash and JOC in the team today. Premiership class those boys.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Bash motm for me.

Tough call between him and Sharp.

 

[SUFCinks]

Besic was absolutely dire, norwood started poor but had a decent second half.

Keiran freeman impressed considering how shocking he was agianst flyde, jack robinson also made some really strong interceptions and challenges when he came on.

Sharp was brilliant, just missing a goal. Basham as always was solid - he always looks uncomfortable on the ball but 9/10 times pulls it off.

Overal shocking 1st half and we did a job in the 2nd

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Really good second half from us i thought - punctuated by 2 quality strikes. We looked like we did last year and the fewer changes meant the style was still evident.

Sharp was quality i thought and shows why we should keep him here - he still has plenty to offer. Thought Luke freeman and Besic did ok and shows we have CM options and Kieron Freeman also played well for someone who hasn't had very much football recently.

Basham was everywhere as always too.

 

[BritishSteel]

If "Millwall Holdings PLC" are the parent company of Millwall FC. Does that mean ?...

PLC stands for Pub League Cunts.

When's the draw for the next round?

[ScottishBlade93]

Job done into the last 16 that’s all that matters. Millwall is always a tough place to go they don’t let you play much football. Still got the likes of Northampton/Derby, Sheff wed, Coventry/Birmingham, Reading/Cardiff, Portsmouth, West Brom in the draw. Get a favourable draw and who knows. I’m excited that’s for sure.

Does Norwood ever play well in your opinion?

 

[bromtom]

MOTM Billy - outstanding

Couple of good goals, shame Billy couldn't score one, but I think lack of chances in front of goal in the Prem has put a bit of rust on him, but his hold up and link up was fantastic.

Pitch was shocking, didn't help us at all, got used to it more in the second half.

K. Freeman looks a load better when he's not in the Kean Bryan XI.

New Robinson looked alright with what he did.

L. Freeman either really tidy or pretty cack, amplitude on that is probably what's keeping him away from the 18.

 

[SUFCinks]

Does Norwood ever play well in your opinion?

Honestly i think he is a tad over-hyped by our fans but equally such an important player for us. He shows moments of absolute quality then will lose the ball from a sloppy touch or punt an aimless ball long. I always seem to notice him having bad touches and giving possesion away more than other players.

We are better with him in the team for sure. I just get frustrated when some people make out hes some kind of Erikson or KDB, hes decent but prone to many mistakes!

Just needs some more first team football.
