Good point
Millwall celebrating like they've won a trophy
Half a team missing, all that travel - cracking effort and a good point

Re: Good point
It is a good point, even though it doesn't feel like it.
Shame we couldn't have put a few of our chances away earlier in the game but, like you say, it's a good point.

Good point overall, 16 clear of 3rd, still unbeaten and heading into 3 games against the bottom 3.

Re: Good point
Good point considering our injuries, and on another day we win easily.
Teams pushing for the play-off's are going to make it difficult.
For context it's a point more than Sheff Utd got there on Saturday.

Re: Good point
It was a good point.
I reckon it would have been all 3 but for all the nonsense after we scored.
We should have killed the game off instead of feigning injury and wasting time.
Kompany should have subbed Twine off straight after his embarrassing Swan dive

Re: Good point
A point is fine but I don’t like the way we just stop playing around 80 mins into a game if we’re winning it. We’ve done well with some good game management in the past but tonight we were inviting long ball after long ball and set piece after set piece from Millwall which is exactly their strength.
No complaints in the end because of the above and our missed chances. But it could and should have been 3.

Re: Good point
Just leaving the ground.
How we’ve contrived to only draw that I will never know.
We were by far the better side but Millwall were always in it at 1-0, and their direct style had been an issue in the latter stages of the first half. The warning was there.
Instead of going for it and getting the second, we have tried to see the game out instead.
The blatant time wasting was embarrassing, particular Twine jumping around. Twine’s lack of physicality is an issue, for me.

Re: Good point
Difficult to see an harder game between now and the end of the season.
Of course like everyone else I suspect, wondering whether we would have won if we hadn’t sat back as much as we did but they are almost unbeatable at home at the moment . A bit like us really.
Yes a more than good point

Re: Good point
If anyone said at the beginning of the season "pick a game, any game that you would play Twine in after hardly playing and an injury lay off" I would hazard a guess that Millwall away on a Tuesday night would be in the bottom 3 on that list. He would have learned a lot in that game tonight imho

Think the challenge broke, impacted his boot, which would hurt.
Hence he changed boots.

it's bonkers - Rovers are 4th with a minus 2 goal difference ! Taking nothing for granted though against Huddersfield, under Warnock and they have a decent record at the Turf from memory.

Re: Good point
Twine did alright in spells to be fair . Won the ball back quickly in the first half to set the counter up and a good chance which Zaroury couldn’t take with a bouncing ball from barnes . With more game time in there I think he would notch a fair few goals from arriving late in the box

Re: Good point
Feels a bit like a defeat cos the equaliser was so late, but
it's a really good point.
Got to take full advantage of the next 3 games against the bottom 3 starting with Colins mob Saturday.
And yes, 4 points from Luton and Millwall away is brilliant.

Re: Good point
You seem to mention Twine’s physicality every time he plays. I’ve no idea why because it’s not looked an issue once. A player like him who drifts around finding pockets of space doesn’t need to be that strong. Did well tonight and that tackle wiped him out, it broke his boot.TsarBomba wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 9:59 pmJust leaving the ground.

I’m happy with the 4 points.
But we’ve made a conscious decision to hang on to the 1-0 lead when the warning signs were there that Millwall would bombard us late on. Make no mistake, the time wasting was embarrassing.
Hopefully we’ve learned a few lessons tonight.

One of those games tonight... We had a few chances not finished, hit the woodwork, and got done by the follow up to a set piece bobbling around the area. Not a bad point but slightly miffed it wasn't three

Re: Good point
Meh. Thought Milwall were pretty poor and caused us far fewer problems than Luton. Unfortunately when we head into the last 10 minutes of games at just 1-0 up we seem to invite pressure onto ourselves by defending deep and not looking after the ball. We invited that equaliser on tonight as it didn’t appear that Milwall had enough to create a scoreable opportunity.
That said, games every few days, a lot of travelling, a lot of niggles and absentees so keeping the unbeaten run going, after a good win on Saturday, is a big positive.

He’s a tidy player with nice touches.
But I feel his physicality is an issue. That’s my opinion.

Thought we were pretty dominant bar 5/10 minute spells in the first and second half. Bit more composure with our finishing and that could have been 4 or 5.

The Millwall I chatted to after were happy with a point, and so we’re most of the clarets. We should and could have taken all 3, but no complaints with 4 points from the last 2 games.

Re: Good point
By far the better side tonight but counts for nought if you don't take your chances. Leaves you open to a scrappy corner canceling it out.
Didn't feel the Millwall fans were that great until the equalizer, prior to that just occasional bouts of that horrible drone noise.
