Simms made a hell of a lot of difference when he came on. we ended with our best front 4.

The notion that he doesn’t work hard either is just utter rubbish.

Can't be arsed to read through the usual drivel while we were losing from our out of work professional managers on here

Started slowly but improved and totally bossed the game from the half hour mark . Didn't think anyone played particularly badly , Torp and Wright standouts for me and a mention for Latibeaudaire who battled hard in the middle after being switched

I think it’s fair to say he looks better going forward.

Referee was just terrible again today I'm sorry. How many times has Saka got to get chopped for him to be given a foul?

We were poor in the first half. Millwall did deserve what they got as they went further back but the two subs made a huge difference - we didn’t look at the races prior to that

He’s the battering ram, was the same in the Leicester game when we struggled to break them down. Ellis came on and bullied them and added another dimension to the attack.

Him and Haji are musts together in these physical battles, especially if teams are gonna go 5+ at the back.

Not kept a clean sheet in 2024 yet. Really would make our lives a lot easier if we stopped giving away soft goals whoever the back line is.

You'd think I would learn. But up to the point of writing that post, he had got it wrong. Should have been 2 or 3 down inside the first 20 minutes and the first half was very dubious.

Move Wright out to the left and a lot changes
Click to expand...
It looked so obvious to me.

If they hadn't scored in the first half and we did it would have been a decent 1st half. You could see them tiring. But they had the lead so we were shite....

Wright is excellent running in on the left. We all agree there. What I don't agree with is he is shite because he plays better running in on the left.

He needs to learn the offside rules though.

He worked very hard today tbf, as he did on Tuesday, but that hasn't always been the case.

Hopefully he has started to understand what's required here, and can get more goals.

If he starts scoring regularly we will be an excellent team, as CF has been our weakest position for much of the season imo.

Thought for their numbers while they were ahead Millwall were pretty loud. Fair play.

Got caught out by a diagonal ball early on but improved from there and was good in the second half.

We arguably should have been behind even before that chance, just couldn't live with the long balls going forward and it looked very slow and ponderous going forward. The criticism of Wright was made to look stupid in short order anyway, and maybe people really will learn from that today.

Scored at least 2 goals a game except for once since well into last year. You won't keep many clean sheets if you play attacking football.

Its small margins....

We could've been a goal down, or a goal up, before they even took the lead.

Although we were well on top 2nd half, i was starting to worry about our ability to break them down, until we got the pen.... 3minutes later we're winning.

Millwall are a tough side to play against.

Not sure it is judging by the types of goals we're conceding. They're pretty avoidable for the most part.

Delighted with the win, as much as we weren't brilliant it must be remembered that we couldn't beat Millwall at home last season with the two players who shall not be named.

We've come on a great deal because we always score.

Yes he has mate, he’s mustard. Looks so dangerous attacking the defender 1on1 coming in from the left.
