Match thread and team

[hoosier-daddy]

Bright opening ten minutes then we’ve got progressively worse. Our passing is dreadful.

Passing looks like the grass is a foot high. Needs to reach the other player quicker.

[willsclarets]

If that was at home I'd understand the comments a bit more. But away I think we're doing ok. First 20 in particular houtondjis movement was causing problems and we had an excellent move that resulted in hitting the post.

Lost our way a bit after that and the game got scrappy - but Millwall are on a decent run, they were always going to have spells.

[KRBFC]

60% possession and 5 shots away from home in the first half, the performances are slowly coming

You must not be watching. 5 shots? Not a half chance created with 60% of the ball?

[Conroy92]

Cullen is wasted in a side that has no attacking fullbacks. Get him off and Hannibal on.

[gandhisflipflop]

Need to improve the combinations out wide

[gtclaret]

Apart from the last few minutes,I thought we looked comfortable,I can't remember Millwall having a decent chance.I think we started well,as the half went on it diminished as an attacking force

[TsarBomba]

‘Houdonkey’

He’s a young lad trying to make it as a footballer. He’s been in the country a few months. He might make it, he might not. But this childish nickname is pathetic.

Thought Hountondji was one of our positives in the first half.

Not much Hountondji can do when the midfield is too pedestrian, Anthony goes awol for large parts, and Koleosho is getting tightly marked by Bryan, who has been excellent.

[Elizabeth]

Oh well, here goes . Could be a long half

[gandhisflipflop]

Cullen is wasted in a side that has no attacking fullbacks. Get him off and Hannibal on.

Not having attacking full backs is the reason we are so poor

[KRBFC]

This sums it up for me. We're a rotten watch.

Be careful what you wish for, I’m glad you’re being honest and not just backing Parker and this crap blindly to justify your criticism of VK though!

[jos]

Well I’m enjoying the game, a lot of tackles and battling.

Come on Burnley.

[Paddy1882]

My concern is this is on instruction.

Koleosho HAS to be on the left for me. Anthony’ best attribute is two footed. So put him on the right.

If it is then it’s criminal it just allows their whole side to push up the pitch, if they’re not comfy on the ball open up and clip it down the line for Hountondji to give chase, get US up the pitch, so frustrating.

[taio]

You must not be watching. 5 shots? Not a half chance created with 60% of the ball?

Yes, 5 shots as per the stats, including Koleosho hitting to post and Hountondji with a good effort just wide after good work by Koleosho and a good touch and turn by Hountondji.

[Vino blanco]

I’m not sure who is on the bench but Anthony needs to be replaced. He’s one of the laziest, lethargic players I’ve seen at Burnley it many a long year. All those calling Foster “dogsh!t “ and “pony “ etc should now realise that this system is useless for a lone striker.

[ksrclaret]

Be careful what you wish for, I’m glad you’re being honest and not just backing Parker and this crap blindly to justify your criticism of VK though!

My criticism of Kompany was justified. His football last season was soul destroying and he was a distasteful character.

Parker is a very pleasant guy but can't coach attacking football.

My comments are always without agenda and I call it as I see it.

[IanMcL]

Good play them.

[hoosier-daddy]

Change needed.

[Safron]

Starting to think players get fined if they attempt to cross the ball

[mdd2]

Only one winner today
Millwall getting stronger and stronger

[Goalposts]

Anthony needs hooking of

[bfcjg]

We are so bloody laboured in our build up it allows Millwall to regroup and pack the defence.

[Claretitus]

Starting to think players get fined if they attempt to cross the ball

Or pass it forwards!!!

[jedi_master]

He’s a young lad and I’m not making anything like a ‘Judgment’ on him - but I am seriously struggling to see a big fee attached to Humphreys. He is very average and seems to have a total inability/reluctance to go forward. The wingers are so hamstrung by the lack of an overlap.

[CoolClaret]

Get Pires & Sarmiento on.

[jedi_master]

1-0 - fantastic header

[KefkaClaret]

Dire stuff

[mdd2]

Great goal

[BobSykes]

Was coming. Game over.

[jos]

Rats

Good header.

[Commy]

We were playing at a slightly faster pace at the start but have reverted to norm.

[Lip]

Great header

[Kgun5]

Well, sgit.

[IanMcL]

Bugger

[Newcastleclaret93]

God we are shite

[hoosier-daddy]

Already looks like game over.

[Claretitus]

It was coming.

[IanMcL]

Super header.

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Millwall deserved that. We've been atrocious.

[ksrclaret]

Well played Millwall.

We are done for now.

[Goalposts]

Thats the difference.. we dont have a final ball or a player that can deliver a final ball.. we have layers that loo good on the eye and in possession. But genuinely lack the killer touch

[Stonehouse]

Mr Parker take yourself and Anthony and sod off.Tactics against Rovers and Preston rinse and repeat.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Game over.

[CoolClaret]

A big 40 mins here for us - lets see what we're made of.

[Clovius Boofus]

Some power behind that, wasn't there.

[Boss Hogg]

My stream must be behind. Looked on here and knew a goal was coming. Summary before that : Dull and no attacking threat at all.

[Safron]

I really don't get what sp is trying to achieve with these tactics? Well maybe he might just make changes now , let's see what he's made of now.

[hoosier-daddy]

I don't see what these tactics are. xG was almost zero in the first half and you could tell. Why not speculating a bit further forward.

It looks like we're playing for 0-0 every game.

[wilks_bfc]

That’s a hell of a header from there
Nothing Traf could do there

[JimmyRobbo]

Just remind me who was marking their biggest player.

[ksrclaret]

0.09 XG said the Sky commentators.

I know some don't like the stat, but its just absolutely pathetic stuff.
