FT: MILLWALL 1 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[surge]

It was a good ball by Murphy but think we have to give a good amount of credit to Moore too for taking it on so well, getting ahead of the defenders and getting a shot on target. Murphy also produce a nice cut-back for the Wilson chance so maybe, hopefully, we're going to now see him do that over a couple of games and give us another player who can change the game.

I know Harris is under a lot of pressure and the squad is not the deepest, in terms of consistent performers and/or established talent, but I am starting to become wary of whether he's managing the hectic schedule well enough given that only two subs were made when some have already played a lot of football - and I wonder if that's why Morrison and Nelson conceded so easily, and then left Millwall a good chance at the end to take three points, when they're usually so solid.

Seems I'll be in the minority, but I think we're played OK today. It's a cliche, but this is a side in transition. Still too many static players, and I still don't rate Nelson. Glatzel not clever enough with the ball at his feet, which is a shame, because it leaves us with fewer goalscoring options..

We looked better after we scored and created some good chances, but Millwall still had the best opportunity to win the game when their player was 1 on 1 with Smithies.

This team are ponderous in possession, play with no pace and spend most of the time passing the ball around in the middle third. If this is a tactic to draw teams out it clearly doesn’t work and bores me to tears.

I hate the new offside law. Parrott is offside, goes towards the ball and he's interfering with play.

I actually thought that it was good play (on their part) in that Parrott purposely left the ball for the player running onto it (so a bit like a dummy, but as you say he influenced the move) and poor play by our defenders to stop for the offside.

Is that part of the new interpretation of the offside law (I thought that it only affected VAR games where they let the game play on for 29 mins before blowing)? I’m not sure that it is. But someone on here will correct me I’m sure! 👍

Reminded me of Luton’s winner in the FA CUP tie at Ninian Park in the 90’s

I was thinking of the goal that Everton scored at NP in the FA Cup which to this day I’m convinced was off side 🙄

I don't think Nelson has played well this season.

I don't think Nelson has played well this season.

He's way off. He sometimes looks like he lacks a bit of confidence, his touch isn't great either.

He did make a great block in the last 10 minutes but if you watch his movement for the Milwall goal, he created the space for Smith to get the impetus for his leap rather than blocking it.

Yeah, the other problem with his defending was that he was flat footed and square on, he put himself in a position where he couldn't even make things difficult for the bloke who scored the goal. Static. I'll pick up on the cross as well, nobody busting a gut to stop the delivery, the millwall player had time to light a cigar.
