    Next batch of 6 before the final break

    Blackburn (H) win Pompey (A) win Watford (H) draw Wrexham (A) win Sheffield United (H) draw Stoke (A) win 14 still unbeaten, top spot. Stoke are falling away and will be easier when we face them. Sheff. Utd simply will get better under Wilder and be making themselves very hard to beat. Wrexham...

    Rivals for auto spots

    As I consider what we have already done and watched a few other so called 'contenders' performances, I'd say we are the favourites for the auto's. Ipswich will come stronger but don't over estimate them. Norwich are very poor and it's no great feat to have beaten them. Yes we drew with them but...

    Team for Blackburn

    It's Blackburn and on form we should win. Allen done nothing to suggest he is dropped to the bench. But knowing how he is not always going to turn in a performance, then yes Torp is back in. Top managers make tough decisions. EMC will be fit out left, and Asante remains down the middle. Wright...

    Did Frank inherit a top squad?

    Its all about continuity. Robin's built the squad and it was developing into something special. A couple of poor starts cost us, but King saw the issues surfacing and decided to go for broke. Frank's appointment was a little controversial. Now it looks like a master stroke. Perhaps it was one of...

    Allen has had one of his immense games. While one player is out another steps up.

    4 at Millwall another 4 today (so far) this is seriously silly.

    They will be scared of us or sure. We are the side scoring for fun, winning and looking to go top. So whatever we field the confidence in our players is very evident. Stop Bannan and they have nothing, we roll over them. Wednesday have been doing surprisingly well considering their situation and...

    It’s getting to the point…

    Before the season started I suggested Ipswich and Southampton would not simply walk the league. They were poor in the prem and have lost a couple of good players with no great replacement. Didn't see them as favourites. Middlesborough were in and around us last year and now we are repeating...

    Match Thread Millwall FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Oct

    We start fast again and press high maintaining the ball, get a goal early - we win the game. If we approach the game casually then we might be clinging on for a point in a dour match. Would be great to get 3 points but asking for 3 clean sheets in a row might be tough. I'm sensing a 1-1 giving...

    Man of the match

    Credit to Simms, his cameo was very good. I'd like to see him start at Millwall with Wright out wide. MOM is difficult. DeSilva had a great game for him and hope he can maintain that standard, so did Eccles who did what was asked of him. But for me Torp has been terrific. MOM goes to him on the...

    Thought it was a good performance overall. Rudoni and EMC out is a worry. Today it didn't matter so much especially as they were reduced to 10 men. Brum have been over rated pre season and will probably settle mid table by season's end. Just when we looked to get a foot hold at the top we face...

    Judging the Frank Lampard change

    The first couple of games, you are finding your feet, so Hull and Oxford are excusable. It's been a mixed bag of tough and easier opposition. There are plenty of easier ones coming up and i would expect the way we are playing more wins are certain . Bristol have had a far easier looking fixtures...

    Very good result. Leicester no pushovers. Chances at either end but a draw is fair. We looked a big leggy second half and missed EMC. Unbeaten and we will demolish Brum next week. Our CB's showing they will fight to keep their place, Wolfenden will have to wait.

    A much easier win than one might expect. 0-2 to us. Defence will have their act together. One change Asante in for Sako. It works for us.

    A lot could be said about today, but on reflection a side like Norwich who normally have a lot of the ball were outplayed today. We have definately become a much better team. We have a lot of quality, and but for some strange drop of the ball, lack of final third finish, and teriffic defending...

    Have to be winning these sort of games if we are to make a good start and keep the momentum for a challenge at the top. It's all about momentum and early 3 pointers on the board. Form a little gap quickly and everyone will start beleiving. I'm sure Wright wants to show he's better than Sargent...
