DobbinTheDonkey Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Once Millwall went down to 10 men and camped around their own box, did we change tactics? You get your answer from the answer to that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Failed! Wrong team and poor substitutions. However, he’s been excellent since he took over from Bruce so let’s not shoot him just yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United got found out, but wilderbeast changed tactics. Bielsa continued to try to play it but they ran our of steam and teams just sat in defending going go on break us down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be because of the upcoming ban being on his mind or he could be injured. Blaming Bullen without knowing the background is a bit questionable. If you do know please enlighten me because I must have missed it. If he can’t play because of his potential upcoming ban we shouldn’t have appealed. He’d be halfway through his ban now.

In what way exactly did Harris outfox Bullen other than they scored with one of their 2 chances, and we couldn't manage to put any of our 5748920 away? It's not Bullen's fault if the players put everything straight down the keeper's throat. We didn't do anything tactically wrong for me. He made bold substitutions that affected the game, it just didn't come off. Too easy to look at a result and be critical. I’m not against Bully getting a shot but lost a bit of confidence today. We lost all tactical shape and just put random players on out of position. More brainless substitutions than bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stats for an away team, looks to me like poor finishing was to blame not the manager! Looking at those stats alone you would guess the result was 0 2 or 1 3. I think the affecting elements of playing away are very underestimated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendaryswan Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Our achilies is our foreward line,we brought them in on reputation and not potency,and untill that changes wel be competing for a play off berth at best,because weve never had the required fire power to challenge for the top spots. Yesterday we should have gone with Nuhiu up top against their two big lads, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningaround Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 latter, even 11 on 11 all they created was corner kicks, dire to watch. On another day get 4 or 5. Oddly enough them with 10 created more of a siege mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CohenTheBarb Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 One of the main reasons millwall are still in this league is their ability to gain points at home. It's never an easy game for anyone down there and when they defend as well as they did Wednesday wouldn't have been the only team to struggle. Having said that from our point of view chances weren't taken and of course some mistakes were made but what is it they say about hindsight being 20/20?

Dominated possession, kept the pressure on, just didn't get the rub of the green. Which is it? Sounds like we played well and dominated play. Just one of those days. At least we played high tempo pressure football. Some days we wont get a result. Thats life. Bully made positive subs, if he jadnt we would have got slated. Would have been happy with a draw like i said before the game. Nothing to worry about in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Promotion teams are allowed to have these kind of results. Newcastle lost their opening two games when they got promoted, Fulham lost to Barnsley and will probably be up there. We have to make sure that it was just a freak result and go out and batter Luton on Tuesday. Then get a draw at Preston. 10 points from the first 5 games is still promotion form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he might offer more of a goal threat, but that’s only based on his 2016 / 2017 form really. Any injury to Fletcher would present a challenge for sure.

tarn owl Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Too small a sample size. Let’s see how they react on Tuesday and go from there. When Carlos lost we always responded well which led to the playoffs. If Bullen can replicate that then people will forget this game quickly.

The Night-Owl Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Said before the game, Bully's main test to show if he's up to it or not, will be how we react to defeat. If we can bounce back quickly, that's the sign of a decent team at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
