who said he could only do ten? maybe he wasn’t needed until late in the game to help see it out….

I would be surprised if he couldn’t turn in a 60 minute shift from the off

If expect his return to look a lot like Rudi’s who was out a similar time and that was: 10m, then a midweek 30m, then a start IIRC.

Need to play like we did in the second half vs Leicester. Need to be more compact in midfield and more on the front foot. Thought Eccles made a difference when he came on and would like him to start in place of Torp who seemed a little off it yesterday. Woolfy for Lati who was also quite shaky. Tats seem reinvigorated after the rest and may need a start with Esse in the 10 role. Wright or Simms up top (think Lampard may start with Wright who finally seemed up for it yesterday). Then we can bring on BTA, Rudoni, Yang, Torp etc. which are great options off the bench.

He gave the ball away a few times and I mentioned to perosnxnext to me I'm not sure why he thinks he has a player makers skill set in that first 25 mins

However overall he had a good game and it's stupid to pretend otherwise.

He is a squad player not a starter. These types of performances are all we need from him when called upon
He did make one very good cross field pass TBF

Given Lati got the nod over Wolf yesterday it will be interesting to see what happens v Norwich.

I'd imagine Thomas will be straight back in, if Lati drops to the bench will Wolf be dropped from the squad? I'm assuming Lati starts Tuesday, which I think he will.
I think Kitchens tank looks a bit empty and a rotation would help him i think.

Fair play to the lad. First half tried too hard to impress and do the ‘extraordinary’ with flicks and tricks. Second more effective by doing simple things quickly and well. I wonder whether he will replace Tats as a starter for rest of the season, or be used in the Rudoni role, or be used as an impact sub as defences tire.
Tats ran around a lot more than he has been doing when he came on yesterday, amazing what a bit of competition can do

Sounds like you are ready to let us walk the ball into the net, just to keep your players fresh for Charlton. This works well for us; please speak to the Millwall players and manager.
Nothing about keeping our players fresh for Charlton, at all.

Simply, given the choice I’d rather lose to the top side in the division than a Charlton side that our fan base has seen as an irrelevant league 1 team for the past decade or so.

That and the total and utter shame of losing to any side managed by that total prick, Nathan Jones!

Couldn't agree with that last line more !!

I think some are getting a bit carried away. This will be another hard game I expect, and we will need to perform.

If we can win then that momentum is going to be huge for us. I'm hoping the Leicester game was our pivotal moment and that we are done with our dodgy spell.

I’m not getting carried away, it’s the Championship.

Excluding maybe Sheffield Wednesday (who have been making a valiant attempt despite their circumstances), a game against anyone in this league is basically a small scale war.

No one team usually dominates a full 90 mins against anyone else and the ebb and flow of a game can just turn at any moment. It’s just chaos really isn’t it?

I will miss that aspect of it when we are getting battered 13-0 by Man City next season (I hope).

Absolutely.

The players need to prove to themselves, if no-one else, that Saturday showed we are back to virtually full strength and have returned to form.

I reckon if we can get two wins and two draws from Leicester and the next three then we are back on track. A couple of clean sheets wouldn't go amiss.
