Craig enock Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Before anyone says anything I thinknbullen should get the job , but I'm disappointed with our team selection yesterday and our bench .... i know millwall play a long ball game but surely the way we've played in our first 2 games we should have just gone there and played are game ... swapping iorfa for odebejo was a wrong call , and not having winnall and forestieri on bench wasn't great either .... bullen has my full support .. I just think you can worry too much about the other team and forget what we do well .. wawaw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evaowl Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Sometimes a manager can't win. Iorfa was out-muscled for the goal - had Bullen played Odabajo and that happened he'd have been called out as being tactically naive. Just one of those games yesterday for me.

Worksop Wednesday Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 wasn't there but thought strange use of subs yesterday brought Iorfa back in from start but subbed at half time - did he have a knock, fitness issue, at fault for goal ? - but seemingly was in order to get Bannan on which did make sense as they were down to 10 but reach at left full /wing back - don't like that - so why then not take Palmer off rather than swap him to right back for Iorfa? Then Palmer is subbed anyway - saving a red maybe ? but so we end up with 2 full backs on bench Moses and albeit the much maligned Fox, and 2 midfielders Hutch and Reach playing at full back who might be considered all round better players but on paper it's round and square' uns................... again ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think you can worry too much about the other team and forget what we do well .. wawaw I posted ahead of kick-off that playing both wingers was very attacking. I think you do Bully a disservice. He stuck to his 433. He stuck to two flying attacking wingers. We had 21 shots v 3. We camped in their half. Iorfa for Moses was the only nod to Millwall’s tactics and even then you could argue that Iorfa is more attacking than Moses. Hindsight is great. But in reality we massively dominated an away game, and it is only bcos we conceded a bad goal and failed to convert from total control that we are licking our wounds today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torres Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Dropping FF from the squad because Millwall are “a physical team” is a questionable decision If that’s his thinking to match fire with fire, then Reach, Rhodes and Murphy should have stayed at home too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes went close and should have had a penalty. Murphy struggled a bit against his full back and his crossing/shooting was iffy but he wasn't the only one.

We played 100% the same way as we did against Barnsley and Reading, 433, wing play, tons of possession, tons of crosses and scuffed shots, end result simply lacking today. And again an uncharacteristic error by Westwood cost us, they offered little other than that. We didn't get the rub of the green at times BUT Millwall defended like lions and deserve credit for that., weve done similar in past games. Bring on Luton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyno9 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Don’t understand this love for winall. He has little in the way of attributes to suit our current system. No great pace not particularly strong in the air not a target man little or no skill only thing I can think of is his link up play is decent a (little) bit like hooper. he should have been moved on in the summer. His wages must have been the sticking point to potential suitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Poor explanation on my behalf) I was suggesting that if Bullen was picking players to combat their physicality then those 3 are the least physical players we have.

doubleo Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 5 minutes ago, torres said: See above for Rhodes (apart from link up play comment) I agree. I always wanted Rhodes to be a success but it’s just not happened for him. Hate to say it but when he came on against Barnsley he went missing - always the wrong side of the marking player and never ruffled their feathers - it’s as though he’s hiding. Gives the thumbs up for crosses and balls to chase but somehow never quite gets there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
