Weird game. 3-0 up and our keeper was player of the half. Some brilliant saves. So pleased for Jamie Allen!
Maybe some minutes for Shepherd at this rate.
Great win but not sure about the formation. Led to a frantic game. Thomas-Asante was brilliant; Simms a great no. 9 performance; and what a cameo from Sakamoto!
The calmness and steadiness of Grimes from walking out onto the pitch; on and off the ball during game time; and post-match interview. You can sense his influence as a captain.
Very greedy I know but we should be much further ahead. Not making enough of the space being given. I would bring Simms on for Wright. The latter has been very poor and if the linesman wasn't so bad, he would have robbed Thomas of a goal.
The fact though we can maintain our fluidity with key...
Hope Torp is not too bad. May have to have 5 at the back on Saturday if he is out too. Maybe that was partly Lampard's thinking tonight with the formation change
Quite solid half without creating much. Millwall have been poor with their final ball, which has let us off the hook at times. Eccles looks tired. Think we will need Allen in there soon.
I get that it's less of a tiring position but subs can be used to manage yellow card accumulation as well, which could bite us hard at some point. I think making his debut at 3-0 up in front of the home fans would have been useful.
