I haven’t seen enough matches to be really qualified- but LL has played a central part of one of the best defences in the EFL. It feels really unlikely that his (sometimes glaring) negatives outweigh his (perhaps difficult to see) positive attributes.

Best defences in the EFL?

9 teams have conceded the same or less goals than us this season.

Our goal difference is -6!

not even top 20 in the efl for least goals conceded
 
I wasn't that bothered by the result today because of a lesson I learned a while back. We never beat Millwall, we never beat Gary Rowett, and we most especially don't beat Gary Rowett's Millwall.

I wasn't expecting a win, at best I was hoping for a draw so to me we've only missed out on one point. We're still in the mix for the playoffs. We're one point off with four games to go so my lesson learned today is:

We're still in with a chance

He was really pissing me off doing this.
One time in the second half he’d actually spun his man to get in behind before he threw himself to the floor.
He was fucking rubbish.

Remember the exact moment. Was easier to go through and get a cross or shot in. Did a similar thing a few times down the left channel infront of the Town End

I wouldn't argue against it but it does feel like everyone is allowed a shit performance (Lindsay, I'm looking in your direction) but if Bambo does it he doesn't start for five games. As I said, he's the best centre back at the club. Even the Millwall commentary were swooning over him when he came on today.

My point is, from now on, he starts.

Don't forget, though, opposition commentators know nowt about football and talk shit.

and anyone who blames Lindsay for the 1st goal is either blind; biased or both...... 1 defender against 3 attackers and he was marking their tallest one....where was everyone else ?

presume he was to blame for not wining the header for the 2nd as well.... 🤣

It seems like everyone else was watching the game yesterday so I didn’t pass comment on the goals without seeing them first but I’ve now seen them. The first one it actually looked like Whiteman wandered off instead of staying with his man and the second Ledson did more or less exactly the same thing. I’ve no idea how anyone played for the rest of the match but, taking the two incidents in isolation, that’s how it looked to me.

I‘ve seen Storey criticised for the first but he was given a ball to deal with by Parrott that was virtually impossible to do anything with - it was played back to him at pace and at head height.

Obviously the fact a highly rated forward can’t score from 6 yards and a midfielder can’t finish with his right foot had a slight bearing on the result as well.
 
The EFL had in mind when they brought in the play offs that it would create interest till the end of the season.

At the moment any one down to about 12th are still in with a chance of promotion so I guess it is working.

It's a bit of a lottery, let's hope we have the winning ticket 😄

Some refs would have booked him for the dive. He’s a frustrating player Parrott. His movement is generally good and he sees lots of the ball. But attacks often break down with him due to a poor pass, poor decision making or just missing the target. He also seemed to run out of steam in the second half and probably Delap should have come on sooner.

Yeah I agree. But as you say he often runs in to dead ends as he is rather greedy. I would be giving Delap a run on Wednesday
