I'd be very pleased!

Yes, I think I would to. Let’s make it happen!

Acres of space down our left when Milwall attack.

EMC is poor at covering, JDS needs someone with Sakamoto's defensive work rate in front of him.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Both teams look dangerous going forwards. We’re so loose at the back at the moment as well. Felt like we thought we were 3-0 up when it was 0-0 and 1-0, coasting. These lot are forth in the league FFS need to pull our fingers out

 

[covmark]

Haji hand back the cap, it's Rudoni's turn to be scapegoat of choice

Tbf he hasn't been great

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Get torp on at HT push eccles into rudonis slot

Wondering if we should just put BTA on for Rudoni if he's got 30-45 minutes in him

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Top of the league but only the joint 6th least conceded. We need to stop putting ourselves in a position where we need to score two or three goals to win a game, especially considering we haven’t scored more than two in a game since the end of November.

 

[Nick]

Tbf he hasn't been great

He hasn't since he came back though. He looked better when he stayed central on Saturday and stopped fucking off and leaving the rest of the midfield open.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Defence look vulnerable, but would you want to be a full back in our team.

Absolutely zero protection but still expected to bomb forward, and then recover.

 

[Macca]

Th

I think I would also prefer a win actually, I’ve changed my mind.

Some form teams chasing us down too in Ipswich, Millwall and Hull

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

Think we still win this with players off the bench, Rudoni been largely anonymous so far and another goal coming down our left hand side.

Players off the bench will win this like Saturday.

 

[Boicey]

The goals are much harder to come by so we really have to sort our defence out. We never look like we can't hold a lead.
Lack of pace is a real problem. Shame the Woolf purchase didn't help us much.

 

[Martw]

Sadly Rudoni has completely disrupted our team game ever since he came back.

He seems to play where he wants not where I think we tell him

 

[fernandopartridge]

Tbf he hasn't been great

He hasn't been but he hasn't been any worse than Grimes

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I think I'd go for Torp first to shore up the midfield a bit, then look to replace Eccles with BTA on about 70.

I think I'd probably prefer to sub off Grimes, but not confident either Torp or Eccles can do his role well enough.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Think we’ve been pretty good overall just annoying we aren’t defending as a team

Thats why we need the Onyeka double pivot

 

[covmark]

I would disagree.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

As much as FL seems to like him I don't think he'd put up with that.

 

[Nick]

He has. It has an impact on the rest of the midfield.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Yes, I think I would to. Let’s make it happen!

fucking hope the Millwall forum lurkers read that conversation lads

Coventry V Wall Match thread Tuesday 7.45pm

Heard we’ve only sold 600. Thought we’d take more than that tbh. It’s not POTD though which is bollocks really. Loads of people asking about for tickets as they’ve now gone off sale so it just shows lots of people decided to go at short notice.

[RoysterE17]

Bta will change this game back in our favour when he comes on!!

 

[mmttww]

Rudoni needs a big performance if he stays on.

 

[Great_Expectations]

The Lampard - Neil verbal spat was a highlight of the first half.

 

[skyblueiom]

Defensively jds looks like a rabbit in the headlights. His positioning is terrible and there’s so much space behind him. We create all the pressure on ourselves with schoolboy defending.

 

[StrettoBoy]

I can see us needing two this half if we are to win.

That load of bald soft lads on there would probably like us to win aswell.

 

[CCFCSteve]

He hasn't since he came back though. He looked better when he stayed central on Saturday and stopped fucking off and leaving the rest of the midfield open.

It’s like he’s lost his No 10 sixth sense of where to pick up the ball, help midfield out etc. he was really good Saturday second half, picking it up on half turn and sliding balls through, looks like he’s lost his confidence again though

Big half this

 

[Great_Expectations]

Also, change the front 4 on 60 minutes if nothing has changed.

No point having depth and not using it.

 

[Nick]

Wonder what the ref is telling wright. "Never getting a pen mate"

They love their mums!

 

[stupot07]

JDS and Eccles our best players that half. Esse needs to come off as he seems to have forgotten he's on a yellow card and is making dodgy tackles still. Wright playing ok. Tats and Torp on soon. Rudi having a bit of a mare.

Give how dominant we have been in terms of possession Eccles has hardly been involved.

 

[Nick]

Weird flick from esse.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

How have we not learned any lessons from the Leicester game???

Eccles pressing with Rudoni and Wright, easily bypassed, leaves Millwall attacking the back 4 and Grimes. If it's so obvious I can see it - how can't Lampard and Edwards?

if Eccles is going to continue to press to be fair you may as well push him into the 10 and put Torp in CM, at least Eccles would be more disciplined

 

[mark82]

Wow. That's a terrible decision.

 

[stupot07]

Esse was quite clearly offside and interfering with play
