Matchday Thread Millwall v PNE - 27/01/24 - KO:3pm - Championship

First half hour was atrocious. I thought Paul Sparrow was being generous with his summary. Then we scored and they've utterly collapsed We're making them look like the side that has only won 4 games at home and scored 13 goals in the process. Get stuck into them in the second half. We should take 3 points here.

We were awful until we scored which just goes to show how short of confidence we were. Sublime pass by Mads and well finished by Potts, Played some lovely passing football later in the half . A real Jekyll and Hyde performance. But which one will emerge in the second half ?

I wonder if that was our good half of a half........🤔.....
 
The ball by Mads was a simple through ball. Should be doing this more, which I'm sure he will do. You'd think it was a Kevin De Bruyne whip by some reactions ffs.
 
Poor start and shocking defending for their goal. We did well to keep it a 1-0 whilst Millwall were so much on top.

Really decent goal from us on the counter and we've done really well since we scored.

Some great approach play from Mads & Millar.

Looks like it could easily go either way, but both teams trying to win the game, which is refreshing.
 
First half hour really terrible, lucky to be only 1-0 down, but as soon as we scored Millwall have gone to pieces.

Mads rivalling Fleming for best player on the pitch.

Absolutely gliding and a joy to watch.

There for the taking this lot as confidence is clearly fickle.

Will we keep the pressure on? Or try to settle for a point? 🤔

Yep, the lack of confidence dominated the first 20 mins, everyone seemed nervous with the ball.
 
This has been a half of two halves. For the first 20 minutes we were awful - just sideways passing and unforced errors while our opponents passed and moved. They scored with their first attack a simple cross from their right that gave their player on the end of it a free header on the edge of the six-yard box. Shortly after only a superb interception by Storey stopped one of their players going clean through for what would very likely have been game over and RL out of a job.
But then things changed the main reason being Frokjaer getting into the match. He played a superb low defence-splitting pass to put Potts through and he smashed it home. After that we dominated and could have had more. The combination of Frokjaer and Millar is looking really good but they are way out wide when their interplay should be in and around the opposition penalty area. Browne's drive would add something and though Keane has worked hard Osmajic's pace might again give us an extra dimension. Really is all to play for

sloppy passes all over the place, in that first 20, after that player got injured we started to get into the game resulting in the goal, from that point on weve been excellent, could have done without half time.

Radio Lancashire commentator has just said exactly that.
