Maybe we are going to draw our way to safety...

Should be 1-0 down tbh didn’t see much wrong with their disallowed goal

3 shots on target? Genuinely don't remember them (but I did miss the first few minutes).

Wouldn’t need to be the only outlet if we had a proper shape. McCallum is better defensively. Go back to 352. If we have to sacrifice one player to look like a fluid team where everyone is in their correct positions then I’m all for it.

Not too bad tonight, big improvement on Friday.
Need to hugely improve supply into Walker & our set pieces plus stop giving away free kicks in dangerous areas - had a let off from one already.

but not overly likely to score. We've been a bit better creatively so far but still not anything like worrying for the opposition.

Shipley began well but again faded. Giles role not working so maybe O'Hare will be more effective?

Thought Giles was one of the best players on the pitch.

Not a lot I admit but it’s off the ball stuff. He’s so laboured at times IMO

He should be on the right with Giles opposite

Better game for Shipley. His cross field pass to Giles was quality. Hyam looks excellent again.

Well that was a decent half , but we have got to stop giving corners and free kicks away else they will score from one.

Hamer probably the only one having an off night.

Where ever Shipley is playing , play him there for the rest of the season , actually looks a threat tonight. Been useless for most of the season!

Oh how we have missed Liam Kelly. And Tyler Walker is reminding me too much of Leon Best tonight

I mean yes I think we've played relatively well... Kelly has been very good.

Problem is we just don't really look like scoring, the answer would appear to be to either go 2 up and take sheaf off, or put o hare just behind walker in a 4231 and again take sheaf off who I feel has had an average half... The back 4 definitely feels stronger defensively

Walker needs to trap a ball properly

Better to build from a solid base than try and score 4 to win. Fairly happy with the first half.

Seemed more like our players got in each other's way, if it was anything it was very soft. That said their players didn't complain

Again, one player playing well in a team playing shit isn’t good. If you can sacrifice one player to make a team better then you do it.

These were easily the better side v Millwall. We have subdued them, but obviously have to create stuff on the ground, as they are a far bigger team than us. Need to play between the lines and resist the punt. Played ok so far (Dabo still rusty, though, bless him!)

He definitely looked most likely to score cutting in from the right. He just needs more lift on his shot as he is getting the shape right. A bit more and it would be over the keeper.

Gotta say that's better than I thought.
Kelly's having good game.

Just lacking numbers in the box.

Im being overly negative.but i Fear we need 1 goal to get a draw here.

They need to lump it into the box more often and go for set pieces, don't like our defending of them at all

Every time the ball is played up to him it bounces off him. In fairness it's not his game. He prefers to run in behind. It'd be nice if he could bring a few others in to play now and again though.

Would be a massive waste when it looks like we’ve got two of the best finishers we’ve had in ages in the squad.

We’ve gone from looking like conceding every 5 minutes to some form of turgid stability. 2 clean Sheets in a row would be massive progress

Not a dreadful half but we don’t look like we’ll score. It’s all well and good setting up to draw sometimes but if you’re doing it in winnable home games you’re going to struggle.
