Millwall 1-0 Watford Saturday 2nd March 2024

Even given our current form, I reckon we could get that half right.

 

What is the nature of the link? How tenuous?

 

When you think how poor a bang average championship striker is..... consider the fact that half of them are not even that good!!
Rajovic is one of those keeping the average down.

 

Did he say just how p****d he will be if we score ?

 

If it's a tenous link it could be any one of our midfielders...

 

I like it when you get Bovril straight out of the jar, or better yet, straight out of the cow.

 

3-0 Millwall confirmed.

 

This game has got 3 nil to them written all over it.
Biggest question of all is how come we manage to get into this position so many times in recent history? It must be something that goes on under GP, before his tenure we had periods of being a bit cr@p or lightweight but we usually gave our all.
My take is that we just buy too many bang average players, along with players that somehow find their way to us via GP trading, but are not particularly enamoured but will take the money...

 

3 degrees of separation.

 

I've heard through another tenous link that this is the team.

Hamer

TDB (Right back)
Sema (CB)
Rajovic (CB)
Andrews (LB)

Livermore (left wing)
Grieves (centre)
Martins (Chalobah role)
Asprilla (also Chalobah role)

Sierralta (target man)
Ince (fox in the box).

No right mid or right winger as TBD is, in the words of VI, "versatile".

 

Don't mind that tbh

 

Ngakia at RB, at least it's not TDB...

 

Sema, Asprilla, Dennis & Bayo. Who covers the middle of the park? Interesting selection

 

Kone - dropped
TDB - dropped

Jezza N - In
Scott Bayo - In

 

Looks like 4-4-fackin'-2, looks like Ismael listened to the fans lol

 

Sweepstake on the minute Ngakia limps off?

 

Asprilla behind Bayo?

 

4-4-2? 4-2-3-1?

Decent line-up though. Some quality on the bench as well with Martins and Kone.

Clearly doesn't fancy Andrews at all.

 

Sierralta and Hoedt to deal with their cloggers

 

My thoughts exactly

 

Nah, it'll be one up and one supporting from midfield

 

I'm actually very glad Bayo is back.

Strange feeling.

 

Warmup.

On a related note, amazing times when we are rendered somewhat pleased by the presence of the atrocious Ngakia on a teamsheet. Perhaps that is what Val was going for all along - to smash the entitlement among the fanbase, expecting a player trained as a right back and capable of playing as a right back, to be fielded at right back. There's one in the eye to us!

 

Presumably Dennis in to defend set pieces

 

We all know Dele-Bashiru will be bought on to replace him

 

Let's hope Ken 'n' Kayembe are a bit more at it this week.

 

4-2-4 high press but with two midfielders and cbs forming a defensive square to catch the counter. FBs will be up and down wings a lot.

 

Not a difficult thing to achieve.

 

Not if it's Asprilla central and Dennis RW.

 

An hour in and one shot on target, but more importantly, 66% possession, so it looks like all those passes between the back 4 or 5 must really be coming off.

 

They need to have a stats rule that pass completion only counts if a pass receiver is in the oppo half. P**sing around in your own half not included...
