[Cheeky Blade]

Tom Davies gone for another 3 months?

Just popped out to get the Sunday papers didn’t he?

 

[10p]

Brookes MOM. McGuiness played well.

 

[71Blade]

Some indifferent performances for me
Seriki poor crossing at key moments Arblaster 2nd touch a tackle Ohare jesus 50p head .. otherwise decent point

 

[Working Class Hero]

Actually enjoyed that game. It was a good performance and under normal circumstances that's also a good point.

 

[Davalon]

Something been thrown or said by Millwall fans at the end there? Stewards talking to Brooks and Peck about something.

Yeah saw that

 

[espoo blade]

Cooper was strong again. One big save in the first half and generally good coming for crosses and kicking. Didn't have much chance on their goal. Seems to be getting back to his best.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Jake Cooper must be losing his touch

 

[pollster]

HT obesrvations
McCallum chance yet again shows to all but the brainsdead why he is a full back and Brooks is the attacker who SHOULD be finishing from there
(Middleboro last kick chance)
ANYWHERE else onb the pitch that is a foul and a booking
GUESSING achilles snapped re boot - weakened by that challenge?
to be continued

Well they were absolute shite, just height
But were not beaten yet again because
our manager is third rate brain dead shite cancelling us out.
All I want to say for now is all the best to McCallum
Has had a top class season where last he was mediocre and I said get rid he is not good enough.
May recover later. (Me not him)
ps OHares finishing could not be any worse if he played with a blindfold
as well as a hair band and a head band.

 

[Champagneblade]

Not great on the day in terms of dropping two points, but in the bigger picture when you say that you win your home games and draw your away games that gets you in the play offs from before Ipswich.

We’ve chalked off probably the hardest home game and hardest away game and have stuck to that ratio.

We now need to put to bed Oxford and go on a run at home, including beating Wrexham.

Then you’d hope up having an imbalance of home games would have an impact.

Wrexham have Millwall, Bristol City and Ipswich soon for instance where they’ll do well not to drop points and also they have I think more away than home games for instance.

A win would have been really welcome but I don’t think it changes things.

I reckon Boro Coventry even Hull will be just as hard

Very very good point. Millwall are not shite - they are very difficult to get anything at all at their place. WE more than matched them and could so easily have won.

Every single player was 7 or above, Seriki and Brooks 9's.

Wilder and team deserve pats on back for that anything else is just not fair.

 

[Davalon]

Looking at the table, not a single team averaging 2 points a game!

Only 8 points off the POs if we beat Oxford.

Strange season in some ways.

Please please stop this with the Playoffs - we have zero chance

 

[Lupa The Noa]

Sam getting what seems a serious injury is a huge blow for the lad and us.

That said, it's bizarre how many on here are obsessed about everyone being against us.

Absolutely paranoid about everyone playing against us and every referee we have.

 

[SB_90]

that was a very good performance. which is normally more important long term. but both teams will be claim they could & shouldve won it. as it was quite a open game

wilder & players are impressing me with the results he is getting from a thin squad. but im looking forward to all this being forgotten & wilder out brigade restarting if we lose to Middlesbrough

 

[Cuypers]

I agree Bell4, but it’s the hope that kills you, isn’t it?

Shurup twat

 

[Grey Blade]

"Que sera,sera whatever will be, will be, you're going to A& E etc,etc."
Disgraceful chant from fans who could see exactly what happened.
Ref's attention was drawn to something after the final whistle from the same section - presumably abuse.
Scum - a few of them!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Thought, especially second half, we were the better side.

The if only we didn't... Thought constantly nagging at me as I do believe we are a play off side now but unfortunately we weren't at the start of the season

 

[Corkblade]

Bamford playing today and we win that game, thought we were outstanding, a couple of the young lad's will have learned so much today in that atmosphere.
The standard of referring is still so poor, the late challenge on McCallum after he had the shot before his injury was late and deliberate, l was under the impression that any player has a duty of care when making a challenge on an opponent, that was a red card and a penalty, he didn't even give a yellow, O’Hare was bundled over in the box clumsily and again nothing.
All in all a great effort from the team and with a cluster of home games coming it keeps the season interesting

Win loose or draw I'll always moan for more?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Cracking game today. Happy with the draw but gutted for Sam, hope it's not as bad as it seemed.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

I reyt enjoyed that. What a fantastic day. It was a proper muck or nettles stuff. The only thing that marred it was the Millwall fans who showed themselves to be utter scumbags when McCallum was stretchered off.

 

[reedy63]

Ohare is our top scorer and had a bad cut to his head against Ipswich last week.
Pollister, you are talking shite. Give you head a wobble.

 

[finlaytheblade]

It's a long shot i agree but the opportunity is there ! Do you want the players to knock off when we are not totally safe from relegation..
As been said a strange season in many ways than one.
Our owners will be kicking themselves now,realising they are the main reason we arnt up there scrapping with the rest.
Yesterday another case of the gods being against us! We dominated the second half even getting over two injuries in the 2nd half! As Wilder said that stifled his chance of bringinging subs on when would have wanted to.3tranches of subs per half meant we could only change it as we wanted once ! Yes he could have put on three subs when he brought on Campbell ! Would that have been wise with match finely balanced.
The frustrating thing as well for me
Is ! Cannon moving into a position to play the Millwall striker on from the free kick! He surely shouldn't have been there or have I got it wrong?

Agree with everything you’ve said , a well thought out and delivered post .

My point is that I don’t think we have any chance of the playoffs due to the complete screw up by the inept owners following Wembley . Their intentions might have been well meaning , their execution , shocking .

This now means that we , imo , have to deliver almost perfection between now and the end of the season - we have no wriggle room , and that doesn’t (or very rarely) happen.

Also , because of there being no wriggle room , January has seen us flip flop in our focus and ambition (it would appear ) to bring in three / four additional players that might give us a chance to ride some injuries and give us a boost to realise our slim chance of making the top 6 .

Wilder would have got us up if he had been backed and not sacked . Theres too much to make up - too many teams to leapfrog .

We won’t go down either

Missed opportunity- terrible leadership

 

[themaninblack]

it always seems to be a good day out when we play Millwall, though of course the injury to Sam McCallum took some of the gloss off what I thought was a really good performance. The poor lad looked in absolute agony when they stretchered him off.
Brooks and Seriki had their LB on toast but I thought Hamer was also outstanding; he’s had a slump in form/fitness recently but he was great yesterday, looked really sharp. I keep hearing that Cooper is injured as well but he looked on good form to me, came for the high balls when he could and that one-on-one save was excellent. We would have been taking all three points home if Bamford had been available.
We fell in with quite a few of the home fans leaving the ground. They were very appreciative of our away support, the lads we got talking to reckoned we were the loudest visitors they have had this season. Supporters and players did their bit, let’s hope the owners can do the same!

He's out for the rest of the season
