Need to change formation and tactics to move forward in this league and more importantly, entertain the fans.
I can't stand for this boring, 90 minute 'training exercise' that we watch/listen to most weeks.

I can't tell whether that's sarcasm or not

I'm afraid Millwall are not crap so there is no chance whatsoever of us scoring more than TWO. And if we do score two goals, so will they.


Personally, I am going for 1-1. Albion absolutely bossing the game for 85 minutes and missing a string of chances, only for Wayne Bridge to score a 30 yarder in the 48th minute.

Millwall will equalise on 87 mins with their only shot of the game. Attendance: 23,917


Summed up my thoughts entirley. Apart from I reckon Smallwall will take the lead and we will level in the 87th Minute. HTFT bet will be Millwall / draw

Hardly Gus's fault if a his strikers can't even get a shot on target is it?

If it was only one or two games in which our shooting has been woeful then I would agree with you - Gus can't be on the pitch to score for them but the reality is we are now on the back of a whole a series of games where we missed umpteen barn doors and threw away precious points. So I can't agree chum. It doesn't cut it for me. At some point the Manager has to take responsibility for putting things right. Ok Gus should trust them to do the business on the pitch but when they repeatedly fail Gus has no excuse for not making them do extra shooting practice or rotating the squad etc. The Manager has to be decisive. At least Gus has made it quite plain that he is in the market for a goalscorer so the players should be motivated more than ever if they want to keep their place or get shipped out.

No sarcasm, just astounded by how boring Saturday was. I'd like Gus to have a re-think of his 'possession wins games' tactics. Possession is fundamental, however by itself, it is a lost cause.
Anyway, enough negativity! Gus will play 4-4-2 with wingers and smash it 3-0 whilst I enjoy a slice of humble pie.

An 11-11 draw would put us ahead of Watford. 10-10 would do it alphabetically.

PS: we can only play on one wing at a time. If we play both Lualua and Buckley, one will have to play as a striker. Much as I would like that, I think I would save that for the Watford game. 4-4-2 does not make for two wingers. It is more likely to make for no wingers at all, although it can do for one winger Capello-style. Then there is f*** all difference between the two systems anyway.

That's the spirit. And its we'll.


Couldn't resist...

If you're going to be pedantic, at least do it well!

You also missed that fact that it's lose, not loose!

(sorry, couldn't resist!)
