They know what they are
They know what they areEvery season we hear Millwall fans complaining that their reputation isn't justified or complaining about a large police presence at their games. Yet we regularly also hear about trouble involving Millwall.
Just a thought but maybe the best way to get rid of the reputation is to stop causing trouble?
First half we got it completely wrong. We tried to win the ball high up the pitch and it failed and Leicester were able to bypass the midfield.The back four were exposed by Leicester's tactical dominance in midfield.
It is always a bit easy and dumb just to blame defenders when your whole midfield isn't working.
I remember going there with my mate as two 17 year olds with Harry Shaw. The coach got us there that early the ground wasnt even open and they dropped us all off in some nearby high street and told us to have a walk around the placeHaving been to the old Cold Blow Lane i can testify that the new den is a piece of cake in comparison
You can actually enjoy the away day now
Braced for a much tougher test than Saturday. Who knows.
Yeah we dropped into more of a mid block as you say and after that only one team was really going to win.First half we got it completely wrong. We tried to win the ball high up the pitch and it failed and Leicester were able to bypass the midfield.
2nd half we tightened it up, Grimes and Torp actually played alongside one another and the issues corrected themselves. We looked comfortable in the second half and in the end, no one can argue that we deserved the win.
Yeah Millwall are is some ways the opposite of Leicester, Leicester are highly talented but very dysfunctional where as Millwall are far more limited but well organised.Millwall are not capable of playing how Leicester played in the first half. Whatever you think of Leicester, when they can be bothered they have some of the best individuals in the league, they just completely lack motivation for the most part. Millwall could dig in sure but i fancy us to have too much for them.
I've only been to the New Den but knew we'd arrived in the area when I spotted a kid no older than 8 giving us the finger as the coach drove past. Lovely bit of the world.I remember going there with my mate as two 17 year olds with Harry Shaw. The coach got us there that early the ground wasnt even open and they dropped us all off in some nearby high street and told us to have a walk around the place
when we finally got to the ground it reminded me of a prisoner of war camp with barb wire and fencing every where not to mention the abuse from the millwall who could just see were ready to rip us apart.
it was the game where Speedie had to go in goal and the drive home on the coach was no better.
been to the new Den a couple of times and have to say Ive not had any issues and found the locals quit friendly and willing to have a chat over a beer
It seems like you're tying yourself up in knots here. You have come on another club's forum and are attempting to put forward an argument to justify booing a peaceful protest against racism. It doesn't matter where this particular form of protest started. It became a gesture to show solidarity with black people who were subject to racism. It is irrelevant to this argument what some organisers or a movement did with some money? It has absolutely nothing to do with footballers in the UK kneeling for a few seconds to show their support.What did the actual taking of the knee achieve in the end, because it did eventually stop? If it mattered so much to so many people (and players) why is it still not in use in football today? In the link I posted, even John Barnes said at the time that the gesture was pointless. Racism still continues around the world, so all it did was highlight the death of a black man in the US and then went worldwide.
Why did it take this one killing of George Floyd to stir up this anger, when thousands of ethnic minorities have been indiscriminately killed by racist police in the US, ever since it was legal (or illegal) to have a gun? Why didn’t Americans rise up beforehand and defend those dead minorities every time someone was unlawfully killed because of the colour of their skin?
I’m not trying to prove I’m right by saying what I said about the misdemeanours of the BLM party. It’s all there, and has been well documented. If you choose not to believe it, that is your right, but it seems to me that stealing money for personal gain and not giving it to the people you represent, is wrong. And yes, there has always been politics in sport, but it’s usually been at board level of institutions like FIFA, the EUFA or the IOC - not out in front on a football pitch or athletic arena.
I used the analogy of what the BBC (a supposedly impartial organisation) did to Trump in relation to what they did to us in the Panorama documentary - changing stuff to make someone look bad. It’s irrelevant whether you like/dislike Trump and what he stands for, it’s the principle of altering the facts to suit someone else’s (the BBC) editorial needs which is wrong.
Exactly the type of team we have really struggled with in recent years but i feel like this season we have enough about us to beat them. It's going to be interesting to see how much we rotate from the weekend and if we set up more like the 2nd half than the 1st.Yeah Millwall are is some ways the opposite of Leicester, Leicester are highly talented but very dysfunctional where as Millwall are far more limited but well organised.
Don't call me a 'dry arse' pleaseCan the Millwall fan and the rest of the dry arses please take it to Off Topic.
Yeah and that is where players like Esse become invaluable.Exactly the type of team we have really struggled with in recent years but i feel like this season we have enough about us to beat them.

Can't, banned from there.Can the Millwall fan and the rest of the dry arses please take it to Off Topic.
hahaha really?Can't, banned from there.
It's easy when you really want to blame the defenders for a whole XI and manager issue.
An issue that was fixed at half time.
I saw the same at Middlesborough two seasons ago. Leaving the ground there was a lad no older than ten outside the away gate as we came out fag in his mouth giving us all the wnker sign as we came outI've only been to the New Den but knew we'd arrived in the area when I spotted a kid no older than 8 giving us the finger as the coach drove past. Lovely bit of the world.
Yep, can't call a Nazi a Nazi these days on herehahaha really?
There's a beautiful mural near their ground by a local artist that reads 'Sam Boyle is a crackheadI saw the same at Middlesborough two seasons ago. Leaving the ground there was a lad no older than ten outside the away gate as we came out fag in his mouth giving us all the wnker sign as we came out
The football league is full of grounds in some right shitholes, if we were still at HR other teams forums would be full of people sayingthe same about Hillfields and Stoke.There's a beautiful mural near their ground by a local artist that reads 'Sam Boyle is a crackhead'. Lovely stuff.
Absolutely, Norwich was about the nicest surrounding area i remember visiting. Peterborough gave me Stalingrad vibes and West Brom is like a trip through Mordor.The football league is full of grounds in some right shitholes, if we were still at HR other teams forums would be full of people sayingthe same about Hillfields and Stoke.
PL seems more middle class in places though. Not all though Anfield is in a hell hole.
Does Harry Shaw still exist? Can't remember the last time I saw one of their coaches, used to be everywhere.I remember going there with my mate as two 17 year olds with Harry Shaw.
Yes still got a little office in Bedworth. I did here somewhere the had moved base to Staffordshire no idea if it's trueDoes Harry Shaw still exist? Can't remember the last time I saw one of their coaches, used to be everywhere.
Saw us play York City in the JPT once and then a few times there as a neutral when I lived up NorthAbsolutely, Norwich was about the nicest surrounding area i remember visiting. Peterborough gave me Stalingrad vibes and West Brom is like a trip through Mordor.
Also just realised if we were to get beatWin puts the pressure on Boro as we would be 9pts ahead by the time they play Stoke the following day, dropping points obvs opens the door
On the flip side we could be facing the chance to go 12 points clear on Monday nightAlso just realised if we were to get beat
Boro could be level on points with us by the time we kick a ball again as we play Monday next week
Tight margins etc.
What have I missed with this?Not forgetting at any point that Ipswich have an extra point which they shouldn’t have. That looks like it’s going to prove pretty important.
Referring to that replayed game at Blackburn.What have I missed with this?
