Millwall Match Thread

[glass half full]

Hunt >>>>>> Manset.

Inspired substitution?

[LUX]

Two interesting things about Manset.

1. He was born in Metz, very near me over here.
2. Mathieu is my son's name.



Ps gtfi, my weekend is saved.

beast to score twenty and be sold for ten million in jan.

Not overly worried about an opening day draw, although we seem to have got out of jail a bit, Millwall will be very disappointed about dropping 2 points. Not a totally unexpected result, in all honesty we have had a pretty poor pre-season in relation to the quality of warm up matches opponents, had no real competiton, and didnt play one at home, maybe a bit more of thought in pre season matches that will stretch you a bit in the future ??

Just seen the goals on SSN. Lots of people dressed as blue seats.

great game.we looked in control.lost it at the back and lucky we werent 3 nil down,but great stuff from beast.looked lean and mean, 2 great finishes. Great substitution from brian. About fair in the end. Hopefully pearce and bonghani will gel with games.

[muddyfeet]

Great end to the game.

Anyone think Griffin looked slow(er)?!

18,500

Thought Feds made a few good saves but was at fault for both goals.

Actually they were just empty seats. Most games Reading fail to sell out the Madejski stadium - you might say our ground's too big for us. But for big games it is a sell-out, so it's just as well there is extra capacity. I suppose what this goes to show is that not every game is as attractive as every other to the public, and some smaller teams have fluctuating attendences. Still, 18,500 is a lot more than would have gone to watch Reading 15 years ago, so it's clear the club is doing ok.

LOL at all the people who were no doubt thinking up long posts to write about lack of ambition, no signings etc at 0-2 down, but will no doubt now be spunking themselves at a great comeback.

Its impossible to comment on anything after the first game, some teams will have had better pre-seasons than others, new signings need to settle, nerves, new tactics etc.

Great comeback today, although its seems we got out of jail a little. But lets assess things after the first 10 games, in stead of jumping to conclusions and sprouting the usual pesimistic boll*cks if we are in a bad position after the first few.

thought that was kebes best ever game in terms of consistent delivery.loads of great balls in. Shame no one got on the end of them.

Must have watched a different game to me. He also had lots of great crossing opportunities where he never got it off the deck or hit the man in front of him. Not a bad performance by any means, but not his best either.

His final ball was the usual shocking fare

Quite clearly, there is a lack of ambition beyond financial stability and a 5-0 win, a 0-5 defeat or a 2-2 doesn't change that.

LOL @ playing "it's getting better all the time" at the final whistle, I hope it was someone being ironic. The reality is that the opposite is true, it gets worse as the team has millions syphoned out of it year after year.

I would estimate 60% + hit the first defender.

BBCRB seem to agree

Was last season not an improvement on the one before? In fact wans't it our most enjoyable and successful season since 2006/7?

Yes, in the circumstances we did sensationally to make the play offs, but you can only defy gravity for so long and if you seriously weaken the team/squad every year, there is only one eventual outcome.
