Report | Millwall v Queens Park Rangers Your Report added at 10:02:25
The first goal was a shocker. Vale asleep, Morgan doesn't close down effectively and Mbengue wtf?; It looked as if he tried to head backwards up and over the bar when it would have been far simpler just to try and head it back out. In the end he missed it completely.
I think the second came from us expecting a long throw and again being asleep when they threw it short. If anyone was watching the thrower, he gave a massive clue by calling a team mate towards him. I've seen us caught out several times by this switch. We are so busy trying to pick up players around the box that we forget to watch the thrower.
We took a long time to get going, I was fearing another embarrassing hammering. Eventually, late in the first half we managed to turn up.
Four subs at HT and a fifth after an hour a brave and risky move by Julian but necessary to give us the best chance of getting something. We were much better but we're trying to climb the proverbial mountain. If Burrell had managed to score with his header, it might have ended very differently.
Ref was as expected, very quick to blow for any coming together. |

Boring game not helped by a whistle happy and extremely inconsistent referee.
Woy has managed to get them in shape and working hard. Two wins after a poor run have helped their morale and it wouldn't have been a surprise if they had nicked it.
We huffed and puffed but our final ball was poor and we left our shooting boots |

A game that for a long time looked like it could go either way and I feared the worst. Scrappy, lots of head tennis, punctuated with periods of good play. I thought Kone looked really tired and I expected him to be hooked. However, he kept going and played a vital part.
Good substitutions which swung the match in our favour.
Mbengue was really good managing to be first to so many balls and blocked shots and crosses. I initially thought MOM but he nearly gave a penalty away and then later was lucky not to get a second yellow. Got to be Saito, great impact and lovely goal.

Edit and continuation
the subs came on and added pace and energy. We could have won it if Kolli had shown some composure and connected as he has several times for the development squad.
A good and well deserved hard fought point. |

After the euphoria and exertions of Oxford, this was always going to be a struggle to raise our game again. We started brightly but after taking the lead BC were pushing us back, running the game and scored after a good defence splitting passing move. We still had the better chances when we countered but couldn't take them.
The second half continued in a similar vein and inevitably, we tired. As at the Kassam, the suns came on and added energy |

Fine margins in our favour. That first offside at 2-0 was close and 30 odd minutes to go. 2-1 then and momentum and wind make it extremely difficult to hang on.
Instead, we go up the other end and it's 3-0. The handball that didn't go out way at Watford, was partly mitigated by Ashby getting away with a similar one yesterday.
Good performance all around. Kolli has obviously been working really hard on his game. Very good performance and still chasing defenders all over the place in the final seconds of added on time. |

Good game, I enjoyed it. Not what I had expected, especially when It saw the team sheet. Very good performance from the team, made Sunderland look pretty ordinary. Varane and Morgan stood out, although the latter tired in the latter stages. Hey, he is only 18 and it was his full debut. Madsen and Celar were both much improved and Field did a good steady job in the JCS role. We all really thought Jan had broken his duck with a great shot, that we were right behind and looked in all the way but somehow went the wrong side of the post. After the red card, Sunderland, as most teams would, pretty much parked the bus and hung on to what they had. We just lacked the ability and luck to get that one goal we needed.
We now need to dust ourselves down as we have to go again on Tuesday. Squad seems threadbare at the moment with all the injuries. Even Walsh was missing from the bench and we only used three subs, which was disappointing and could be an error by Marti with the next game in mind. I was thinking Lloyd for Celar and Bennie, who did well when he came on at Burnley, or Aoraha for Morgan. I also would have removed Chair, left Madsen on and put Seito on the left not the right where he initially went. Still Marti knows his players better than me.
Keep wearing that hat and if you've got any old badges you can stick on it, you can upgrade it and it might help us to make that elusive next step. |

We started off very nervous and disjointed Cannon and Clarke Salter with several errors. Millwall very physical and pressing high. A poor match in the opening 30 minutes or so until we scored. Fans starting to get on their backs, too. Willock put a good ball into far post and Chair bundled it in. At half time, we looked slightly the better of two poor teams.
Second half we continued to threaten and Millwall looked a very poor side. Then in the last twenty minutes we started to run out of steam and Millwall sensed they might snatch something. The game flowed from one end to the other. We managed to scramble one of the line and then we added a second. Colback shot and keeper couldn't hold it and Armstrong scrambled in the rebound.
MOM for me, Colback. Quality passing, worked hard, tackled well, stayed calm and out of trouble. Rewarded with an assist. Dykes played well in the attacking midfield role, showed skill levels I didn't think he had a few times. Clarke Salter, after a dodgy start was brilliant at stopping attacks. Cooke was a leader. Willock played well untill he tired.
Good performance all round but mustn't get carried away as Millwall were rubbish. |

A frustrating evening spent trying to get to through the proverbial front door but falling into the garden hedge and running into the garden gate. Eventually, a tiring Chair decided to stop hanging around the lampposts and put a decent ball into the garden while Bruce the Jock brilliantly threw himself forward over the hedge and put a diving header through the letterbox.
PS I've spent too much time reading Clive's reports.

I thought that Field and Drewe were outstanding. Everyone else did their jobs well. I was a bit concerned when Lyndon was taken off to rest him, hopefully, for Tuesday but we came through relatively easily.
I hope that we will have the legs and stamina to go again on Tuesday, another one or two returning would be a help and Stef should be fit enough to start. |
