What a pass from rushworth to Wright. Bad first touch.

TBF if he'd have taken that ball in his stride at pace it would have been a genuinely world class bit of football

Yes easily. Wright at far post.

Decent, and we should be further ahead, really.

They're getting some joy down the wings, though.

We've been the better team but it's very lackluster.

Why oh why didn't we brining in another attacking midfielder?! Eccles presses well but looks completely lost in the 10. BTA has been our best player.

Millwall have had some decent possession in good areas but we've defended well and they have fucked up their final pass thankfully.

Depending on how "ready" EMC is, I'd look at putting BTA in the 10 role and subbing EMC on for Eccles.

Quite solid half without creating much. Millwall have been poor with their final ball, which has let us off the hook at times. Eccles looks tired. Think we will need Allen in there soon.

What was their defender trying for our goal? Would be fuming if that was one of ours.

Happy with that. Millwall got quite a bit of joy down both flanks and at times looked pretty dangerous, though Rushworth didn't really have much to do.

The game is nowhere near over of course and I think we need to get another goal in order to see this one out.

Grimes is looking especially good and I am impressed with just how many times we have nicked the ball off them

We need a second I think.

Happy with the HT score.
We were the better side, but it's pretty close between the 2 teams - not exactly a classic, but a great bit of skill by BTA is the difference.
If we can keep possession, defend well, and maybe change some personnel 2nd half, i'd be happy with the current score at FT.

Torp doesn't seem mobile enough against their pacy midfield.

Chicken balti pie was nice. Quiet down by the stairs to Block 26 so enjoying me pint here.

Mad Hatters just walked past.

Looked like a pair of traffic cones.

Rather than silly experiments it'd probably be more sensible just to switch Torp and Eccles roles

1-0 up away at Millwall on a Wednesday night, that’ll do for me. BTA did great hassling for the goal and then totally panicked in front of goal , glad Haji was there.

Get the second goal and they will cave in, their fans already not happy.

They are getting some joy down the flanks. Would expect to see Azeez at some point.

I don't think he panicked, it was pretty composed to go round the keeper and put the ball back across. Last season he'd have tried to hit the top corner or something.

He didn't he gave a goal kick. Their centre half impeded their own keeper.
