FT: MILLWALL 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Re: MILLWALL V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

What is all this talk about rest? We're talking about professional athletes in the prime of their lives. Can't do 90 minutes twice a week. Load of rubbish. If you talk to them I bet they're all raring to go every week.

Until they lose then it was because they needed a ‘rest’.

Re: MILLWALL V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

One of my thoughts after Saturday's game was that Colwill will be lucky to get back into the side. He's got talent, sure, but we played our best stuff without him on the pitch.

Talented and a liability both. Yes, we were 3-0 up, but he received the ball with 2 players on him and tried to turn and go between them. He lost the ball of course, just like he does invariably. He was also trying to close down a Swansea player a couple of times but just didn't have the pace. Maybe save him for the odd cameo role, but we certainly don't improve when he's on the pitch..

no thread can escape a Colwill bashing it seems

That's not true, he hasn't been mentioned until now as there hasn't been a need to mention him. Why don't you contest what was said instead? Incidentally, Colwill will get another go at it, it's not like he's miles off the squad or something. An injury or good performance from the bench will see him get his chance, it's for him to take it

Sometimes you have to protect players from themselves.

I am not saying he should be rested but Robbo is key to our success and to lose him through overpaying him would be catastrophic.

He doesn't need a rest he's just had 3 games off.

I thought walking to the stadium on saturday that a convincing win would probably mark the beginning of the end for him here. We almost always look better without him on the pitch despite his talent. He's played 100+ games for us and we're still not sure, says it all really.

Robbo should be on a few bob more, in my opinion.

For those planning a last minute dash to London today tickets are available before the match from the North Stand Ticket Office at The Den. Cash or card but they are £3 more expensive than the pre booked ticket price. pic.twitter.com/hEK1aQJ2bi

Plenty of room on our coach leaving Canton at 1.00pm, also picking up at Malpas & Magor

He looked a bit lazy when he came on too, not chasing back as consistently as the others.

Re: MILLWALL V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Never an easy place to go to. I remember going to the old Den. The new stadium perhaps not so intimidating but the locals can still be scary.
Millwall not on agreat run so we may be playing them at a good time.
City 1-0
Riza caught me out with his team selection yesterday, but I think he will make a couple of changes..I am assuming ODowda is out.
Alnwick
Ng
Goutas
Daland
Bagan
Robertson
Siopis
Chambers
Robinson
Willock
Colwill

He'll need a few changes, there are a lot of games coming quickly.

Maybe he can start most of the first team and make all the changes very early in the second half.

Millwall without a win in 5 league games, and the division’s lowest scorers along with only conceding 24 also. Looks like 1 goal from us could win it. Cue a 5 nil-er!

Hope there’s no negative reaction to Saturday. Have we ever played well twice?
