Dayvan Cowboy Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 It's not good enough deciding to put the effort in for 25 minutes. Every game is a must win game now. We haven't won and on the balance of the whole game didn't deserve to. I can't see how we come back from this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevesidg Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I thought Cassidy was hopeless, too slow, dominated in the air and never looked liked scoring a goal We might has well have played with 10 men. If he continues in the team we are indeed doomed. Totally agree with that bpNot sure who we'd play instead of him though ? I'd start with Forte wide left Murphy in the middle And maybe Poleon just off him, another who should do so much better, plenty of pace, the odd excellent goal , but poor first touch and control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_blue Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Winchester played very well in 2nd half when moved into the centre I felt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevesidg Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Cassidy is nowhere near the dominant centre forward we need, last two games hardly won an header, minimal threat.In the last 5 minutes he went for a header with nobody on him and still didn't manage to head it!

losesome Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hope SC doesn't let a 15 min good spell cloud the first hour. In a must win game to perform like that proves Dunn just can't motivate players. It took a great free kick completely out of the blue to do that.

NewBlue Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'm all for slagging everyone off but that was unlucky. Cracking goal they scored and we did have a long spell of confident, attacking play. Forte makes an enormous difference to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he continues in the team we are indeed doomed. Absolutely. Utterly useless. Thought exactly the same myself - like playing with one man fewer. Never wins anything in the air, poor with his feet, movement very average. There's nothing there. Rather stick Poleon up top and Forte on the wing from the start.

wehatecity Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Millwall centre backs were a pair of absolute dominators they won everything in the air. Positives were Mike Jones, Forte and to a lesser extent Carl Winchester 2nd half who looked abit more like himself. But yet again we were ordinary 1st half.

Matt60 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The forward play is not the issue. Centre backs was the only issue today, someone who can win a header. Millwall''s tactic all day was the hoof it down the middle and it worked. Dieng and Brian Wilson are not centre back and never have been. Confidence comes from stopping poor goals but once again both goals scored within the 6 yard box. Glad to see Coleman in the sticks and Dummingan and Lafferty and good enough at LB and RB. Bringing Wilson on with 2 minutes left was a pointless substitution.. if he is fit enough for the bench for the second game running he was fit enough to start. If you cant sign a centre back then surely George edmundson could be given a go.. anyone who can head a ball would be a bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wilson was on the bench because his performances and attitude have been appalling for weeks - nothing to do with fitness. Dropping him is one of the few things I agree with Dunn on And I think the only reason he was brought on for Dummigan was to go three at the back and push for a second goal Edited January 9, 2016 by JWhite101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mikey Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'm all for slagging everyone off but that was unlucky. Cracking goal they scored and we did have a long spell of confident, attacking play. Forte makes an enormous difference to us. I thought overall we were the better team and far superior in the second half. For once I've come away from BP with some positives, Mike Jones was fantastic, having Forte taking full backs on and getting crosses in will make chances for Murphy that we know he can stick away. I bet they can't believe their luck coming away with three points today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The forward play was an issue, Cassidy in particular was never in the game. how he remained on the pitch is a mystery to me. Our 2 centre backs were indeed the opposite of Millwall's, and I thought Lafferty looked sluggish and way off full fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 A weird one. I liked the performance and, although we got beat, felt we deserved the win and have come away more positive than last week. However i still feel depressed as its another defeat and in the wider context the performance doesnt change our situation as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mikey Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Oh and the crowd were great. Despite the early setback and the odd utter :censored: (back of the end block of the new stand nearest RRE - prick) the crowd really got behind the team.

welshgaz Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Centre halves all over the show for us. Let far ok many balls bounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 We lost. All that matters is that we can't get a win. Switching Jones gave us the goal and bringing on Forte the possibility of winning but their goal keeper made two cracking saves and whilst pressing we were done on the counter attack. Team did look better after they scored but that is the key as they scored and then played to protect the lead. When we managed to score they quickly went ahead again.

HarryBosch Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Some really good advice being dispensed from the crowd yesterday, "Winchester,get on the wing and F*****g stay there!!!" Obviously a budding Mourinho. That was near me. Winchester heard it and gave a :censored: off look. Four or five shouted encouragement to Winchester when he came back over 30 seconds later. It always baffles me when people talk about how upset & affected the players get with direct abuse from the crowd. On the rare occassions I've heard this over the years it's often been quickly followed by more normal people shouting encouragement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
