What are we doing at the end?  Get it over the top or in the box or something.

Missed a trick here. Poor selection by Corberan with Weimann and dropping/resting Fellows but at least a point.

First Half was poor, Second Half Subs transformed us so once again a game of two halves, Fellows, Swift, BTA and Grady looked better Second Half, 9 clear. This point ends our streak of not winning away on Good Friday in 94 years The last time we did was against Spurs In 1930

Decent point against a tough team. They won’t lose many playing like that.

Added to the total  that's all that matters on to the next game.

Decent point and good second half.

Thought we went a bit flat last 10mins, coincided with diang going off who was causing problems.

Really not bad considering that we could have been 3-0 down at one point. We had two shots on target, and the other shot was a tame effort from distance. Will take that and move on.

Harris has them incredibly well drilled in a short period of time.

Corberan needs to change things faster and not wait until half time.

Good point in the end.

A good summary apart from the bit about a point ending a streak of not winning  ;D

That’s a decent point in the end, even more so after the very poor first half.

Millwall are basic but organised, and you have to compete against teams like that or you will come unstuck. They will bully you out of it and take control - and they did in that opening 45 minutes. We were very lucky to only be 0-1.

We weren’t exactly great in the second half but vastly better than before - good cameo from BTA - and a very well taken penalty by Swift. We didn’t create much otherwise, but Millwall sat deeper and protected the point in the last 10 minutes.

A good point and a step nearer cementing a top 6 finish. Let’s get out of there and move on.

Take a point particularly after that first half no show, Carlos got his team selection so wrong today. Needs to wake up and play his best 11 which imo doesn’t include his captain.

Game of 2 halves and a draw about fair in the end. Its too easy to say with hindsight Corberan got selection wrong.  What's important is changing things around when they are not working. First half we never got any time on the ball as Millwall were into us straight away. Towards the end they dropped deep and settled for a point or they may just have run out of steam.

Only saw the 2nd half which wasn't great, nowhere near it. 1st half sounded even worse.

Poor team selection from Corberan for me, Weimann and Wallace should not have started for me. Wallace is pure garbage against them 3 times out of 3 so far.



We can't keep giving teams the first half. We have to start correct when away,we got away with it against Huddersfield but today we didn't.

Players seemed lethargic as if they had played nonstop for 2 weeks, not had 2 weeks off.


We are definitely better as a 'handbrake off' team

We created nothing, on that basis it’s a fortunate point for me even if we were better on balance in the second half. I didn’t realise it was no away win on Good Friday in 94 years, which is a horrendous record

I still maintain away from home we need to ditch the 4 small pacy players from the start
I would have started BTA and played swift
We need someone to play the ball up to to occupy the centre halves and an extra body in midfield
When supposedly inferior teams start to tire is the time to get your tricky pacy players on
At home is a different ball game
Away from home I’d probably try yokuslu swift mowatt in the middle
BTA Johnstone and fellows front 3

He’s been dreadful since Coventry at home. Ajayi needs to come back in.

What? Kipre dreadful, no he hasn’t been. I for one hope he’s not badly injured.

Tough place to go up against an extremely well organised side. A good point I feel even though we were not great. Lets move on to Monday now.

Weimann has been off the pace, these last few matches, he hasn't put himself into positions to recieve the ball. Should not start.

I never thought we would this game, so I'm happy with a draw.

Yes, but most of the time we used to play on Easter Monday and Tuesday, not on Good Friday

Another point away from a well organised team. Onwards.

Legs have gone for me. I would much prefer BTA over him
