Piss poor defending from Millwall but Boro look honking at the back themselves.

Millwall's set pieces have been dreadful so far.

 

[mark82]

League looks a lot closer after them scoring.

Middlesbrough winning takes Millwall out of it. Not sure there's actually a bad result in this game for us.

 

[Nick]

How does it go down as a goal from a corner for Boro?

Boro also have to play ~Ipswich so if they now keep winning they can take Ipswich out as well.

What do we prefer today

Doesn’t make a massive amount of difference tbh. Millwall win means they can reach 90 and Boro 89, draw means Boro 90 and Millwall 88, Boro win means they could reach 92 and Millwall 87. Ideally not a Boro win but it doesn’t bother me.

In fairness , a millwall defeat strengthens automatic probability

Does it by much though? Where Millwall fall away we still have Ipswich in a better position than Millwall

Only takes one of those outside top 2 to fuck us over after all

It also means a decrease in title chances at same time

If much rather Millwall pick up a point here today

If we win then it doesn't really matter though and any result here is positive for us.

It's a bit crazy but I've already started seeing it in terms of who I want coming up with us. With that in mind I'd rather Millwall

 

[mark82]

Millwall living dangerously.

 

[mark82]

That's never a foul.

 

[Nick]

It's all Boro

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Azeez has got to do much better with that.

Yes it takes millwall out , it only brings boro closer for a title challenge really but theyve got to play ipswich

Point best ofcourse

Like most I would prefer a Millwall win or a draw but a ‘Boro win isn’t the end of the world, especially if we win tonight. It pretty much takes Millwall out of the reckoning to overtake us. We will still be 9 points ahead off ‘Boro and 14 ahead of Ipswich. Although Ipswich will have two games in hand, a 14 point gap will really pile the pressure on them.

We needn’t panic if we lose against Derby but I would be starting to get slightly concerned if we then lose to Hull. I don’t think we will lose both but this is football, so anything can happen. A 3 point gap to ‘Boro and 8 to Ipswich - if they both win on Monday - with Ipswich still having two games in hand would put a degree on pressure back on us and pressure can do funny things to players.

Keep our heads and we are going up

 

[mark82]

Azeez has got to do much better with that.

He's been poor today.

 

[David O'Day]

Millwall need an extra man in midfield but the Boro defence looks as bad as always and can be got at by direct forward balls

Reckon Millwall will adjust at half time like they did against Ipswich. They need to keep the score as it is until half time though otherwise they're out of it.

 

[Grendel]

Who really cares - as long was we win 3 games for its all over

 

[CraigSBA]

We are still effectively 7 points ahead of boro , plus 18 GD

 

[oakey]

This is how Millwall played at Ipswich. Overrun in the first half but much better in the second and could have won in the end

 

[mark82]

Another woeful delivery.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Zak Sturge looks good for Millwall. Even against Ipswich he was very steady.

 

[David O'Day]

Bannon on for one of the Strikers? Gives them an extra man to match up against Boro and he will improve their set pieces and play mor of the direct balls Boro are shite at defending?

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Middlesbrough are a level above Millwall. Quite a gulf between them in quality.
Hope they can improve but lucky to only be one down.

Just have to hope they can attack as weak point of Middlesbrough is their defence

The set pieces have been really poor, a mixture of indecisive faffing about and poor balls in. Bannan will help with both.

Ivanovic and Coburn have had nothing to work with up front anyway

Had anyone got a good HMS piss the league meme?

I want to get one made into a flag for the Wrexham game

Same could be said for Millwall at the same point v Ipswich and in the end they were unlucky not to win

Yet they were only 2 points ahead of them at the start of play.

They aren't really, it's just the way Millwall have set up plays into Boro's hands.

 

[SonofErnie]

Similar first half to Millwall's game at Ipswich. Still backing them to grab a draw.
