 I'm fine thank you! Don't know what to expect really but strong coffee needed

What’s the weather like up there ? Very short days I would imagine 

[Dan Robin]

I like the line-up. TBS, it will be a hard battle, made even harder by the lack of senior options on the bench. Considering also our ability to revamp teams in crisis...I think that a draw tonight wouldn't be a bad result. Anyway...COYR!

Yes playing in a 4-3-3 does not suit him. Happy to see him start in 3-5-2 though, for me Fammy does not work in that line-up as his usual trampoline touch means he brings nobody into play.

Have said for a while that Diedhiou is best as the middle striker in a three and Martin is best in a two where he can get a strike partner close to him.

It's been really frustrating to see both players consistently used in the opposite systems!

[Super]

You could almost write the match report before the game!

[cityexile]

Pretty sure Fammy had to pass a DBR test to sit on that bench.

Dark at 3 p.m. but very warm, +6 degrees

Incredible that Fam doesn’t start, the last 2 home wins have been 1-0 & he has scored.

I genuinely don’t care whether he is signing a new deal or not, he has barely featured this season & would allow us to give Martin a deserved break.

Likely to play on Friday...

I like that team for some reason

I like Nahki in his ‘natural ’ position. When he plays there he is far more comfortable than in some of the positions he has had to play lately. 

[YGBjammy]

I like the look of our lineup. I think a return to 2 up top will be good. Interested to see that midfield 3 of Nagy, Bakinson, Massengo. Big night for Massengo.

[MarcusX]

Massengo to have an absolute blinder... you heard it here first, and probably last

Millwall gone 433

playing the same front 3 that pressed our back 4 so well last season.

Therefore has Holden outwitted Rowett.

We shall see.

 

 

in fact wonder if Williams will move into back 3???

Interesting that 3 former City players are on the bench.

Eventually Dean will make a team selection which works - and that's my worry that he just keeps shuffling the cards in hope rather than a planned strategy.

I get what you mean, but last time he didn't shuffle the cards and people were complaining that it was a foolish decision.

[Jeez]

This formation will suit him, he drops deep and links up play. Wells is the goal scorer, Martin drops deep for Nagy and HNM to run past him feeding Wells with Bakinson dictating play ..

Definitely - Be great to see Wells centrally attacking with Martin supporting & feeding the ball through. 

[Lew-T]

0-0 this.

I just people allow him time.  Can't be expected to come in and fly straight away...I hope he does though..

[havanatopia]

There you go.

Next time twill be a bit more historical and interesting. Fact is South London has too few tube stations so not much of interest there save for Rasta Mike's Curry Pie Shop on Brixton High Street. 

Cheers me dears.

2-1.  Wells and Martin.  Late one from wall. Calling it.  I'd put a bet on but my account has been suspended due to stupidity.

Anyone else can’t find the game on the sky app?

[Lanterne Rouge]

Red button coverage just started on Sky Sports Football.

Why have we still got the lights on in the Dolman concourse?

[Super]

working ok now

[Prinny]

OK Mariappa at LCB, this HAS to work for the 3-5-2s future.

Massengo immediately gets done in the fullback area. Don't want to see him there.

Edited December 15, 2020 by Prinny

[Harry]

Mariappa is playing as the LCB

[Sitrom]

Wall playing in green.  Someone else played us in green recently.  It just a bit Predator like innit.  

Dunno if it's fair.

Birmingham? Mind you, they all look a bit like Predator up there.

great cut back by Tommy Rowe - our cut price James Milner haha

[Lanterne Rouge]

Forest beating Wednesday, another good day at the office for Tiny Penis hopefully on the cards.

Damned if he doesn, damned if he doesnt. He kept the same team people screamed out for change, he changes it and he's got no plan?

Do you agree when he first came in that he actually looked like a pretty good player for a few games? I didn't just make that up did I?

He must have something about him to have played Champion's league football so young

[Harry]

Well we’ve already made more passes than Saturday, so it’s already an improvement

[BasSavage88]

No commentary on the ifollow feed is weird 

[Sitrom]

Han looking good.  I think it's his hair.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Lovely first time no-look pass from HNM to Rowe.

i may be mistaken, but didn't nagy and massengo both play 45 mins in their first game - 2 halves of same game? if i remember that correctly, both were hugely impressive...

Fam`s birthday today - you just know.................................

I cant remember without looking it up, I think though Nagy actually played less time than I remember, but I think i went to the first couple fo games they played and was really impressed by them both

 

Ahhhh Wells, wouldn't fall for him

[old_eastender]

Wells chance but could not sort his feet out

That’s what I said, much to the wife’s delight

Top free kick that.

[Engvall’s Splinter]

Rugby lines more apparent than usual.

Better than Robins TV, he asks AW a question when we've got the ball in their pen area !

[Thornbury Red]

It always frustrates me how easily and casually we give the ball away. That goal kick perfect example.

[Super]

this is dangerous

there we go

[DolmanGaz]

oh eat a dick

[Tre Bong]

Balls.

[bcfc01]

0-1

[And Its Smith]

**** sake 

[cityexile]

Can only laugh.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

FFS another set piece conceded goal and deflected again.

[054123]

Uh oh, spaghettios!

[old_eastender]

unlucky deflection

[Sitrom]

I hate football.

[Ryan_BCFC]

Got to laugh haven’t you, awful 

[downendcity]

Starting off on the front foot seems to be our achilles heel.

[YGBjammy]

Well that's not ideal

[Lanterne Rouge]

Horrible deflection.

[Robin-hugh-blind]

You know when you have to apologize when you score a shite goal on FIFA....

[Dan Robin]

Already down. 

[054123]

Stupid goal kick, stupid free kick, nobody on the second ball.

I know we’ve got problems, but we’re almost playing up to it with our ineptitude on the pitch.
