We had a 'competitive' midfield of McGrath, Speedie and Emerson under John Sillett. With 5 games gone one season I think Emerson had 4 bookings and Speedie 5 in a race to see who could get suspended first!!
We really need to try to get Brau out on loan before window shuts, I think. Despite him losing pace, still reckon Bidwell is a more useful member of the squad. He has good positional sense, which we lack defensively.
Trouble is, he went to elbow him, missed, then did it again and made contact (at least that was how I saw it anyway). That might be why he doesn't escape punishment.
Really hope BTA comes through tonight unscathed.
Difference between him and Rudoni in terms of pressing etc. will be like night and day and his harrying will create opportunities for others if he is anywhere near 100% fit
Would not be that surprised if FL offered to repay the fine himself to Doug King... probably worth £30k of his considerable money to goad fans who have been absolute arses towards him in the past, apparently :)
Would not be that surprised to see BTA come on for Esse after 65-70 mins.
Some of our good performances early in the season featured Rudoni behind BTA / Wright / EMC.
Sakamoto was very good in his cameo on Saturday but I think he may not get as many minutes for the rest of the season...
Good post, and well warranted.
Millwall FC have been trying to clean up their act for years, and yet more 'media friendly' clubs escape under the radar for blatant racism.
Not saying Millwall are angels, far from it, just that media bias annoys me.
We have been easy to score against for a while now, definitely not a foregone conclusion. Expect us to concede an early goal yet again but then fight back strongly.
Is KKH likely to be back for this one? If he is fit I would seriously consider giving MVE a rest. I know most of Leicester's chances came down our left side, but MVE has lacked determination defensively for a while now.
