Sky Bet Championship at The Den, London
should be an interesting game, lets home it isn't a "Fulhamish" one!

I am absolutely bricking it about this one.
Pitch in a bit of a state and the added pressure of last nights results
I've already started biting my nails...
I am binge-eating garbage food already...
Anyone got the team sheet?

me to, so it would be Fulhamish to get a really good result right? Mitro hat-trick it is then 049:gif
There is nothing anyone on here can do so why worry about the result
So, woke up feeling like i had the flu today...came home...where I'm going to watch my team on TV. :clap_hands:
Feeling guilty I haven't travelled to support the lads.
No Cav, no Knock. That doesn't help the nerves
Lets hope we see the sensible AK tonight.
Is Knockaert injured?- oh good evening and COYW
The great man!
Another assist from Joe B.
Im getting a Nose bleed
Blimey, I spilt my beer.
GGEEETTTT INNNN!!!
What a start....yesssssss

Get in mitro!!! 049:gif 049:gif my poor dog just gave me a death glare, daring to wake him up with my celebrations :yay: :clap_hands:
Come on you super whites. Beautiful
For the love of from a corner.Aaaaargh
A yard offside...
Miles offside
ffs is it given?
Unbelievable decision.
One of those 'arry envelopes?
Absolutely unbelievable by the linesman.
That's so unfair, but at least its not VAR.
Did it come off Onomah?
The look on the limos face sums it up. He'll claim he thought it came off Onomah.
Bet Arter gets sent off today.
Thats linesman has to get the sack surely that was a mile offside :031: :031:

Surely the ref should be able to spot that. He was closer to the play and could see if it came off a Fulham player.
Anyway, doesn't matter, lets get on with it.

To me it was the ref that said it came off him, the lino didnt move after the goal was scored he thought it was offside overruled by the ref.
The Lino must be in the millwall change strip

Linos flag didn't go up at all though
Bodvarsson looked offside from the previous header anyway, but jesus it would be nice if we got the rub of the green occasionally!
We are really bad so far, letting Millwalls energy and route 1 (0?) football get to us. And we really miss KMac.
bolloxing it up big time
Justice
Poor start to this. Lucky that he missed that penalty. Poor by Bryan.
Got away with that one
bad bad
Haha!! Get stuffed! Bit of karma there i think! :clap_hands:
We needed that. Wake up, shift in momentum. Come on...please!
Perfect time to strike back!
Luck 1, Fulham 1
Missed it ha ha.
Andrew Madley began his refereeing career on the local Wakefield league. that may tell us why the ref overruled the offside, most people from Wakefield are Leeds fans
What the hell is going on with this game
We're still rattled by that offside.
Looking poor and rattled. Get a grip captain powderpuff
Being overrun in midfield.
Reading 1-0 West Brom
Arter isn't at the races today.
Reading 1 WBA 0

Arter - runs around a lot but poor so far
I'd substitute him now.

Business as usual, or at least what I have seen of him so far this season. Huge disappointment.
Why is Hector lumping it upfield every time he gets the ball?
Hector can't seem to get an accurate ball ahead. Are they playing into the wind this half?
Mac should have started tonight - midfield lightweight so far meaning we are having to defend
It feels like our players have just met each other...
Get the ball out to kamara for a bit, he has the pace to trouble them and the strength to ride a challenege
Nine passes across back there to lose possession.

And they don't seem to appreciate it.
Hopefully Cav will open them up in the second half?
Wall working very hard off the ball.
Why are they booing mitro for? Cause he dared to score? 064.gif
Hector's passing up field terrible so far.
Why are we going route one to AK, it's never going to work
Sky are desperate to find a reason why their goal should stand.
West Brom level now.
Is plainly offside, guy pulls it over and is tapped in, offside all day long
Absolute crap and Parker has got it all wrong.
As for Kamara - omg
Midfield non existent
Milwall quicker and more hungry
The statue that is our manager does nought
Replay showing it was clearly offside, ffs a under 10 ref couldve seen that :031:
Need to be seeing Cav come out for the 2nd half
Quote from: SP on February 12, 2020, 08:26:02 PM

Theyre literally not at all take off the tin foul hat, they are showing zoomed in angles as best as possible to show the confusion behind the goal and then saying quite clearly that the goal is definitely the wrong decision.
Where is Cairney?
AK and Arter so far not worth their place-thankfully Odoi is playing well
Tekkers by Cairney
Bang it in lad
Thats a card surely you cant just run into people like that blatant as you like 063.gif
Has to be said, this is dire stuff [emoji23]
Particular shout out to Hector and our non-existent wingers

Poor after that great start.
But how many times do you see that when a team scores in first couple of minutes.
Too many off pace since.
" though fulham were convinced it was offside..." the whole stadium knew it was offside except for twiddledum the ref and twiddledee the linesman :031:
Hector lost his head a bit, he bumped into the ref after their 'goal' (which in lots of other sports would be an automatic red) and has been flying around the pitch without much discipline.
Arter looks massively off the pace, and his inability to impose himself is exacerbated by playing alongside Onomah and Kamara, neither of whom are able to offer control. So in large parts it's Cairney and BDR on their own behind Mitro.
But on the positive side they were visibly tiring at the end of that half.
Honestly the score is fair. They didn't deserve the actual goal, but we were extremely fortunate on the penalty kick.
Hoping they'll run out of steam in the second half. Need Cav on now.
What a half of football, shame about the refereeing. The championship is nothing if not exciting. A few points:
- Millwall played well. They showed desire, workrate, and quality. Can they keep it up for the whole game? I doubt it.
- Why is Cav not starting? He destroyed Millwall on our patch and AK has done nothing so far.
- I love that Hector will just clear the ball if in doubt. He needs to find his range passing though, that hoof forward to AK isn't working.
- I feel very comfortable with Rodak in goal.
- I feel many parallels to the game in our promotion season. We may have weathered the storm and I have the feeling we will win it in the second half.
- TC is a god. He needs to get on the ball more.
COYW
Actually think Onomah been the best player so far, been strong on the ball and getting about a bit. Agree Kmac offers us more stability and I would remove AK after 60 minutes, he's either decent or awful and today more on the dodgy side
its ok getting the ball to tc more often but when hes got it facing forwards we need runs off the ball for him to pass to
far too static, not enough movement off the ball
I dont mind hector playing long balls out, i would rather that than pissing it around in our own half and putting pressure on ourselves
Their 7 & 9 are putting in some mileage closing us down.

He's alright when he gets the ball, but his movement off it is non existent.
Need to move this ball quicker. Taking a touch leaves to much time to be closed down
Millwall played on Sunday. Can't see them keeping up this pace for 90 mins.
We keep passing it backwards😆
I'm liking the space that's starting to appear.
We are better this half so far. Taking the game to them.
Hector cut through their midfield in one along the ground pass! Real talent
Milwall has just gone back to route 1 stuff all the time, we are well on top just need to make it count
I am hoping Millwall will run out of steam.
kin hell
Cairney got a card
Not sure who's worse at finishing - Onomah or Aluko?
Great run, ran out of puff for the shot
Creating our own problems
Effing around at the back, concede corner for no damn reason
Surely its Cav time?
WBA Ahead..
Time from a change. West Brom leading now.
Please bring Cav on
We don't look like scoring at all
Cav coming on now.
Get Arter off ! Liability
Please just sub Arter now before he causes more damage.
Not winning this are we
I worry about our high offside line with officials like this?
Quote from: elgreenio on February 12, 2020, 09:19:14 PM

Tend to agree with you on this one
Thank god their number 9 is knackered.
Think I'll settle for point here.
Bad night all results going against us as well
2 shots on target isn't good enough.
We have no idea when we get in the final third, I'd rather they attempted a few long rangers than waste the next 15 minutes in a slow build up where we end up not having an effort of any sort
How is Arter still on the pitch?

He's been awful all game.
Here comes Matt
Come on kebano lets get one here :clap_hands:
Did Johansen sleep with Parker's wife or something. Watching Arter running around like a headless chicken, and Onomah just running with the ball until he loses it at every chance, we have really been crying out for another brain on the pitch...
Piss poor performance really, after that flying start needed to put this lot to the sword
WHere's the urgency ffs?
Shaun Hutchinson has played well for them.
Why are we just time wasting, it's embarrassing

Corner, come on lads
Off the bar. FFS so close
effing bar
wtf type of shot from there is that
Gutted.
Two huge points dropped
Well, that was expected wasn't it.
Couldn't understand dropping Cav and not including KMac either
Pony really, poor after that start. Chance for the taking, expect we will rue those dropped points.
One of our worst games of the season. I am so disappointed that Parker still has no clue as to what makes us work as a team.
Two points dropped get no legal goals conceded. Had the refereeing decision not been tragically wrong then the narrative would be the hardworking fulham putting a gritty pwrformance in to beat a strong Millwall that has beaten other top sides.
Couldn't get out of 1st gear. Really tough pitch and tough evening. Won't have a go at Parker, but it's been the same most of the season. We only have 1 gear and unless it works we don't get much from the game. Sometimes it's great, but most of the time it's not. Not won by more than 1 goal since November
Exciting game of football and not an awful result. We need good results though.
Hope thats linesman is getting the sack, get some glasses you bellend
Our midfield letting us down Arter and Onomah god help us
Cairney not giving enough
Mitrovic invisible 2nd half. Midfield was fine
WBA still playing & looking pretty comfortable.

But it didn't look like even a gritty performance, just a weak performance against a very limited team. Not at all like the Blackburn game for example. We had no poise, no control and seemingly no plan. The conditions are an excuse for some of this dross, but not all of it.
