Anyone worried we made hard work of that should watch this. Not the only Millwall fan to say how much effort their players put into their performance, players will raise their level to against the league leaders especially the teams chasing us. We'll be in for a lot of games like this but it's massive we now have quality in depth to switch things up and find a way to win.

Really think that is a massive 3 points

Firstly, I thought Millwall were a proper side, maybe the 0-4 at their place lowered my expectations of them a little bit

Score was harsh on them. We were better than them, but scored our second when they were on top, and then could take them as they threw caution to the wind.

or we bring in Neil and Onyeka before next Monday and problem solved

Given the results so far this season, personally I’m not aching to swap out 2/3 of our midfield with two new players who don’t appear to be considered viable Premier League options at the moment.

Sakamoto coming on for the last 25-30 minutes in these last two games a nightmare for defenders, and has basically created a goal in each shift. I still think ALL our goalscorers will hit form in this run now; Rudi is the biggest worry in that regard as he does seem a bit all over the place compared to the others. These next three games a real chance to put a winning run togethor prior to the potential 6-pointer vs 'borough on Feb 16...

I think we need another midfielder but with the way Eccles is performing the player we bring in has to be a significant improvement on what we currently have

I think that can wait until the summer tbh - our current midfield is clearly more than capable of performing at a high level in the Championship.

Onyeka is perfect for where we are and beyond

Onyeka is perfect for where we are and beyond

If we think he’s the man for the PL then I’m not against doing business extra early, but at nine points clear of third with 18 games to go then I don’t see the urgency to bring in another midfielder. I think this squad is the one.

Bringing in the two wingers has definitely eased the pressure on the squad but another midfielder also helps

The Ipswich RB interfered with EMC, Esse was just stood still and the defender ran in to him

Pretty sure I read that Furlong was up to it again the last, shit housing, can't remember what or where I read it.

He got away with a blatant shove on a Blackburn player on Sat in the box that the the ref and lino ( both related to Stevie Wonder ) somehow missed.

Apparently he could have been sent off twice at the weekend, the Ipswich fans were saying he was very very lucky

He was very lucky on the 1 st one not sure about the 2 nd incident . At some stage his luck will run out.

We just seem to be asking for trouble playing so expansively without enough energy to cover the spaces that are left. Hoping for a bit of pragmatism next week.

Spot on point

They are a really good side and move the ball with purpose, they were 4th and you can see why. Couple of cracking players that caused trouble for us.

But the difference is the bench, the put a shift in and you then look up and see Torp, BTA, Tatsu and Simms trot on it must make your heart sink. That is what hurts the opposition, but i like Millwall and hope they get in the PO.

I would argue both (and in particular Neil) is / are a significant improvement

That Millwall wall of noise/human vuvuzela is the most annoying chant in football. Unique, but what a fucking horrible sound.

At least they didn’t sign “is this a library?” Like every other away end.

When everyone is available soon , some players will be disappointed to not even to make the bench .
