We struggled v Luton because we played with 10 men for most of it. Even when Walsh gets red carded, it’s still 50-odd minutes of defending that’s tiring. Looking at the bench, there were no game changers there, maybe BTA. But when you’re defending set pieces as often as we were, you wouldn’t...

We’ve dropped points in 4 home league games; Cardiff, Millwall, Leeds and Burnley. Looking at the games we’ve won; Watford, Bristol City, Sunderland, WBA, QPR who were all in and around us when we beat them shows just how much we deserve to be where we are. We’ve won every 6 pointer at home and...

I’ve been guilty of this, but we’ve underestimated just how difficult playing Hull, Luton, Plymouth and Derby would be in the last stretch. The latter 3 teams are in 6-9th in the form table at the minute. We all knew Sheff U was probably going to be a write off. To only pick up 1 point from...

I empathise with Lampard because neither Wilson nor Collins is a good choice. It does baffle me that they’ve extended Wilson’s contract if he’s not going to play. Going into to the summer, the recruitment team know they need to get a new keeper in because it’s not acceptable that Dovin’s injury...

To add to your point, if you take out all of our wins under Lampard, we have won 0 wins and that is relegation form. #LampardOut

Which ignores the season before when Collins was first choice over Wilson.

The teams around us have had inept performances. Weeks back, the Opta ‘super computers’ believed 68-70 points would be enough for playoffs and they were correct. The bottom teams all being on close to 50 points is ridiculously high and showcases just how difficult this league is.

For a team in 6th place, we really do concede some goals that are just amateurish. In the top half, only Sheffield Wednesday have conceded more goals than us and we’ve even conceded more goals than Derby, Hull and PNE. We need investment in that area of the pitch. If we can concede 10-15 less...

We said this last season. The relegated teams will always outspend the rest.

Tin foil hat moment but that many refereeing decisions have gone against us, I’m starting to believe there’s a cabal of ref’s screwing us over.

On point 1, there were games where we played 5-3-2 that we were really open. It’s tactical decision from the management because we try to win the ball high up and when it works well, we look quality as we did v Sunderland and WBA. It’s the opposite of Robins, where he wanted to be more cautious...

They’re also the in form team in the league and unbeaten at home all season. Millwall’s form has been based on strong home performances. They beat Sheff U and Watford away fairly recently but have lost to Blackburn, Plymouth, Leeds and Sunderland.

I’ll be happy when we’re 1-0 up in the last 10 minutes with both Sheff U and Burnley winning at the same time. Then I’ll be relaxed about conceding an equaliser.

1) formation - there’s nothing inherently wrong with it. The issue is tactically because we leave a lot of gaps between the lines. Today, we were a lot closed and didn’t give away any real clear cut chances with 10 men. 2) Goalkeeper - agreed on Collins but Wilson is ranked in the bottom 10 or...

It irritates me when people say ‘it’s 100% ‘Player X’s’ fault because every goal has 2-3 errors that leads up to it. Collins made a huge unforced error but anyone who’s rewatched the goal cannot tell me that Binks couldn’t have cleared the ball.

Rewatch the goal. If Collins is poppadom wrists, then Binks has got poppadom feet… Between Collins and Binks, it’s a poor goal to concede.

I don’t think the squad is unbalanced, it just needs a bit more quality in a couple of areas. We have been v unlucky with injuries in this stretch too.

Did you think we’d beat Boro over two legs in 22/23? I didn’t and certainly not after we drew the home leg. We’ve been better than Sunderland over the season since Lampard came in and we’ve beaten Bristol twice this season so I’d fancy any of them in the final or over two legs if it came to it...

Post-WBA, it did effectively mean we could lose both the away games as long as we beat Boro on the final day. That has been a must win game as soon as it was clear we’d be in playoff contention. Besides, Boro had played 2 of the 3 teams with nothing left to play for and only got 1 point from...

It’s not unfair to point out that Binks could’ve done better if he doesn’t trip over himself. The first and most egregious mistake was obviously Collins but that clearance is fairly routine imo.
