Think I’d take Eccles off for either EMC or Simms. And give Torp a kick up the arse.

Lol

And yeah, clear pen on the replay

 

[Hobo]

Was our "2nd" offside?

Yes easily. Wright at far post.

and play who in midfield?

 

[Shannerz]

Decent, and we should be further ahead, really.

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

 

[DT-R]

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.

 

[Nick]

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

 

[Otis]

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.

 

[procdoc]

Just need to keep our heads now

 

[Danceswithhorses]

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.

 

[coop]

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

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Offside robs us of one of the great set piece goals

This generations 'George Best kicking the ball out of Gordon Bank's hands' moment.

 

[Ricketts]

Not only was that a penalty it was a fking corner

I can’t have been a corner if it was a penalty

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Do keep us posted.

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.

 

[fatso]

Was our "2nd" offside?

Yes, unfortunately

 

[fernandopartridge]

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

We've had an xG of 1.7

 

[False9]

Battering these. I think we're the team to beat

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Think Millwall will need much more than this to get them back in it

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

BTA working hard today.

Always does

 

[DT-R]

Dick size

Wright said he had an extra bone between his legs, Eccles said he had an actual real life extra bone between his legs!

BTA gives off Mifsud vibes. #Mosquito

 

[Blind-Faith]

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.

Lovely stuff. You should start a podcast

Wouldn't a tap in goal be a big part of that?

 

[TomRad85]

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

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

should have scored 7 then. Lampard out.

 

[mark82]

Aerial duels won - Millwall 94%.

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.

Decent player , wouldn't have minded us signing him

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Think Simms would do well against Cooper and Crama

 

[Hobo]

Just seen that foul he gave on the keeper when bta missed. Shocking

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

 

[Briles]

Possession’s overrated

As is XG

BTA certainly didnt panick he's cut back an inch perfect pass, splitting the 2 defenders leaving Haji one of the easiest goals he'll ever score. If thats panicking, then id love to see how well he could pass whilst calm!
