Guest parsimmon Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thought yesterday's game was a joy-impressed with Millwall.They will be a team who will upset a lot of the more fashionable sides this year-well coached with a system in which they all believe in. This Wednesday team is potentially the best team I have seen in 20 years.I love how even when under severe pressure they try to do the right things and adopt a patient approach until little pockets appear.Momentum is a huge thing in football and our policy of trying to win games rather then adopting the conventional approach of settling for draws will bewilder teams this year-this is certainly the case with Millwall yesterday who ended up simply crumbling under a relentless barrage of pressure. I'll avoid doing player by player critiques-however I thought Antonio was immense in the second half.His drive and desire was pivotal in helping us get the win.No individual played badly but we do look vulnerable when teams run at us and I can see many repetitions of Millwall's second goal until something is done to address it.I would say we are a top class centre half away from having a right crack at it this season.

vulva Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Jones spunked a load of money on Gardner. He's the centre half earmarked for the job. This talk of 4 new players is odd considering he will have to drop players he's only just bought in order to accommodate them. The squad is big enough in my opinion, considering players such as McGuire, Mattock, Lee and Mayor can't get anywhere near a starting spot.

Gardner - injured Lee - just come back from injury Maguire - got to earn the shirt Mayor - not fit yet Mattock - got to earn the shirt DJ says in nearly every interview players have to earn the shirt, they aren't going to walk into the team because of their reputation or what they've achieved. If he wants more competition for places and we aren't going to break the bank (which we wont) then it can only improve us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apswfcowl Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I like how Jones has stuck by much of the promotion winning team. This sends the right messages to last seasons players that they deserve a chance but also that new players must earn the shirt. Nothing wrong with that imo.

eckington owl Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Rodri. Good point, but I get the feeling with that one it was a 'play him or we're having him back' chestnut. Don't think anyone was expecting him to start against Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
