Swindon v Millwall Match Day Thread

[Summerof69]

The Adver stats say Swindon committed 4 fouls, Millwall 17.  Was that correct?  Harris claimed it was the other way around!! 

Yes...and we picked up 3 bookings, to their 2 !!

The Adver stats say Swindon committed 4 fouls, Millwall 17.  Was that correct?  Harris claimed it was the other way around!!  On reflection we almost gave as good as we got, but why, of why, do we fall into the trap of such a slow, pedestrian start to the game thereby giving our opponents a huge early advantage - happens most games these days!

I think Harris said that the ref was one-sided....pointing out that the foul count of 17 to 4 highlighted this.

[Flashheart]

Or maybe Millwall just committed more fouls?

I for one will be relieved if we do not make the play offs. Keep the core of this squad. Have a good summer. Big push next season for automatics.

Would have been well pissed off if Branco's penalty claim had been given against us so Neil Harris probably had a point but since he manages Millwall and they deserve any shit going then tough luck. The fact that Rodgers came on and looked the pick of our midfielders probably sums up that Louis T, Doughty and Robert all had a bit of an off day. I thought he was pretty much dead on his legs towards the end but as long as Doughty keeps chipping in with point winning goals even when he is not having the best of games then fair play to him. The fact that all 4 of our loanees celebrated like that goal really meant a lot to them says a lot I think about their commitment to the cause.

if other clubs come calling players will move. That's how the club operates nowadays

Had we got the extra few points Cooper would have kept the job...if has has been postulated Cooper and Williams fell out, maybe Williams would have gone etc.

We've very nearly got the magic 52, so the remit til the end of the season should be, take each game as it comes, get the players to enjoy themselves, which is what they seem to be doing, give some of the potential youth teamers a run out, and see where we end up.

[Bogus Dave]

I said on Saturday, this season reminds me of 13/14. A decent enoungh start, a rubbish middle and a very good end. I reckon a lot of our success last season was down to carrying over the form from 13/14, and as long as we don't shit the bed in the summer or the last 10-so games I'm very confident about next year

i think the six game unbeaten run has gone to your head Reg, we can definitely still get relegated, so let's not get carried away just yet.

Had an old boy sat behind us who was a millwall fan, he explained that he hated sitting with the millwall fans at away games because of their behaviour & also the fact the the police & stewards treated them so badly (probably fairly) because of their reputation.

To be fair to him he seemed to be a decent enough bloke & talked a lot of sense.
Probably sums up their support when one of their own would rather sit with the home fans and keep relatively quiet than sit with them.

As for the game, I think that Millwall let us off the hook a bit by trying (in the second half) to see the game out. That played into our hands and gave us an opportunity to get something from the game. It's to our credit that the players did so

We have had a run this season of 11 games where we picked up 4 points...if we repeated that we'd still get to 53, you can go down with that as we did in 81/82. So yes, perhaps too soon to get carried away.

Bloody hell Branco has put on some lumber since he has been out of the starting 11!

I think last time we played them I met a father and son who just wanted to go and watch the football. I felt so sorry for them, having to get escorted everywhere and treated like criminals. But then you can't have it both ways, I suppose.

Apparently there were only 3 arrests, which whilst obviously 3 too many isn't indicative of a hoard of people causing carnage. It's not man v man, pre-orchestrated violence. It's just a bunch of drunken idiots intimidating people and swearing at police dogs until they're told to fuck off on to the next train.

[Power to people]

I see Wolves have recalled Wallace from Milwall and Coventry top scorer Armstrong has been called up for 2 Eng U20 games over easter so will miss the league games,

Hopefully this can disrupt them and will help us with our very late push and extreme outside chance for the play-off's
