Also for all those quoting xg I’m pretty sure it’ll be recalculated, they have the Rudoni chance down as 0.09 which doesn’t seem right.

0.16 where I’m looking.

Which big chances did they have?

A couple of shots straight at dovin?

There was no chance bigger than Rudoni missing that.

Tanganga's header at the back post.
If he'd tried to hit it with his feet rather than his head, he'd surely have hit the target.

I also thought they could have caused us a proton the counter but, similar to us, chose the wrong option or slowed it down.

I do think the midfield desperately needs a genuine number 10

it’s all to slow and ponderous

Outshot by a team we beat away last month at home.

1 shot on target all game is pretty bad at home.

I thought Lampard was meant to be an attacking manager?

As long as Collins, Dasilva and Binks don't play we are generally a lot more steady eddie at the back.

Both offered nothing, but people are pretending Simms did because they want him to start. His first touch and on the ball ability are embarrassing for a professional footballer, he looks like he’s going to fall over with every touch he takes whenever he has the ball at this feet. We desperately need Wright fit so we can give him a go down the middle. There is a reason why three managers in a row have now opted to play an inexperienced 20 year old over Simms and BTA.

People just can’t accept their favourite players aren’t good enough for the next push. The debates on here are no different to those on other socials.

Wer were that bad, I'm not sure EMC would have made that much difference.

EMC on the left, Rudoni back in the centre, Wright up top, add a creative midfielder, solid experienced centre half, RB to give MVE a much needed rest, and maybe another RW to compete with Tats - we’re not too far away, would’ve been 7 points off play-offs with a W today

Unlucky today. Positive signs for sure! Rudoni looks like a different player - unlucky not to get a goal. Really pleased with Thomas and Lati.

I can't remember them having any chances , two shots straight at Dovin. Bassette should have scored , would have been nice to see Tavares given a go and maybe Jamie Allen as subs

But you haven't seen ours so how do you know?

There was no better chance in that game than Rudoni's.

There's no coincidence it's people still crying about robins just making things up. It's fucking weird.

Millwall came for a draw and to not allow us to play and did that.

Our slow build at up allowed it mind you

Criticism of Bassette and BTA is harsh. One starting out, one playing bits and pieces. That said surely Simms, with nearly 20 goals last season has to start now? Thought Rudoni was our best player as he has been all season - and in another new position.

It’s a poor home performance if you allow the opposition to dictate the pace of the game

I wouldn’t say that- can’t fault the effort but we just looked totally clueless on how to break them down.

no they didn’t

there was only really one chance of note, Rudoni off the bar and post… (and that was for us by the way)

Simms was no better, despite coming on against a tiring defence as we were pushing for a breakthrough.

We lacked creativity today, Sakamoto was poor, he just stopped and played the ball backwards too many times rather than looking to get past the fullback or whip a cross in.

Rudoni had a decent game, but we missed the trickery of EMC that might of unlocked Millwall.

Eccles Torp and Sheaf were too safe in possession and lacked the drive to take the game by the scruff of the neck.

Millwall looked like they came to frustrate and take a point, and we didn't have the knowhow to combat that.

Probably in front of BBC stats waiting for somebody who used to post on here to tell him what to say. The usual.

I saw it but I’d want to see it again as it was down the other end is all. FFS you’re desperate to find something. Calm down.
