Need to take today's second half performance into that and play like it from the off. You just can't expect to take 45 minutes to get going in this league and get away with it.

Watford were a lot of people's dark horse to make a late push for the top 2 so is a really good result for Milwall

 

[shmmeee]

Looked like he got hit imo.

Only seen it live and it looked like some handbags kept going by Kitch then he threw himself to the floor when a hand came near him.

 

[long way home]

Different challenge on Tuesday, but i dont think they have as many threats as Leicester. But we got to take our chances, use the bench and out work them.

 

[netheredger]

How easy is that
Great win that
Lati mom

I never understand the shit that lati gets - he makes no more errors than Thomas or kitching and yet he’s exiled as a squad player by a lot of our fan base

Gamesmanship

3 points today relaxes us a bit though

 

[shmmeee]

Gamesmanship

I just don’t see why he was wrestling him off the ball. In reality it was a foul for them IMO but I hate this off the ball wrestling crap and it seems it’s allowed.

Their man was just trying to get past and close the keeper though, there was no intent to hurt Kitch

 

[JohnWH]

Norman would've really riled them all up intentionally for the stoppage time if wasn't on loan.

I think the thing with Lati is that he is quite slow and he likes to chuck himself on the floor to buy a foul. When it doesn't work it looks very silly
I like Lati for what it's worth and he covers a fair few positions too.
Technically with the ball at his feet he is good.
Just do not think he is as good as Bobby or Kitch at CB or MVE or KKH at RB

 

[Martw]

First half we weren’t at the races. Actually think that’s because Leicester are (despite everything going on off the pitch) quite a decent team. Second half we were a different animal - not quite back to back out fluent best but showing signs of it. Fair summary or do my 11 pints consumed make it inaccurate?

Very fair

 

[Ashdown]

Lovely jubbly! All very untidy though. Be nice to play again like the good old days of October/ November but right now we just had to scrape a win !

 

[Kneeza]

First game I've managed to see right through this season.
I said to my daughter before the match that this was the most important of the season so far - no doubt about that.
That first fckn half though...

 

[Cally Fedora]

Rescued that one. Far too open both halves. Torp was anonymous. Slight tweak and more energy second half where we were much better. Impact off the bench was the difference which adding the loans has given us

 

[richnrg]

Impressed with Haji’s desire to win/keep the ball today. That’s more like it!

 

[nicksar]

Not sure what F.L. said at half time but we were like a different team after the break.Great win and much needed confidence booster.
As others have mentioned the subs made a brilliant impact.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Wright was on it when he came on looked hungry and had a fire in him, Rudoni second half looked back to himself wasnt crowding the wings and played some great passes, Eprhon imense, Rushworth brick wall, Dasilva was class up against a tough winger a great battle, Esse glimpses of quality looking forward to seeing more of him, van Ewijk much better from him, excited to see Asante back

We have squad depth to keep things fresh. Think Eccles, Tatsu will defo come in

They did us a favour stopping Watfords momentum today

 

[covcity4life]

Yeah.......these lads ain't no bottlers

 

[SkyBluePower]

Shout out for Eccles who didn’t have long but looked totally classy when he came on.

 

[Alkhen]

Esse is going to be sensational once he's up to speed. So unpredictable.. obviously he will give the ball away a bit but he'll cause so much panic. Then we have Tats who we can actually allow some rest to come on and cause havoc with his trademark chops

 

[ptr]

Bamford would be in for Wright.

Really

 

[Nick]

Shout out for Eccles who didn’t have long but looked totally classy when he came on.

Think he has to be in contention

Unfortunate not to score really, just a teeny bit further to the right and it's a cracking finish

 

[Travs]

They both were. 100%

Neither of them were penalties.

The Mason-Clark one, the defender lost footing after the clash of shoulders, and it was his head which hit CLark's legs and sent him down.

Wright's was just a 50/50

 

[shmmeee]

Haji Wright is so laid back he’s horizontal

Why isn’t that a penalty?

Dasilva didn't mean to bring that chap down at Luton last season, doesn't mean it's not a foul.

It doesn't have to be intentional.

Mason Clarke, he had no intention of getting the ball and just wanted to get across him. He brought him down.

Wright, wright had got past him and the defender wiped him out.

If defenders are bringing the strikers down, intentional or not . It's a pen.

Falling into a player to stop them isn't a get out of jail free card otherwise everyone would be doing it. The fucker was so damn clumsy you could easily buy they were accidental but it makes no difference.

 

[Travs]

That's bollocks..... watch them in slow-motion..... if either of them were given against us we'd be furious.

The emc one especially was right in front of me.

The defender wiped him out after he had got past him, he wasn't going for the ball.
