I’ve still not given up hope... it’s not going to be easy, but Millwall themselves have taken 9 points out of 9 over Christmas, and that makes a BIG difference... we need to start doing the same. After 2 minutes of today’s game I guess we were top of the form league for 2019...

I agree hoppy.
I am a lot less despondent than I was three hours ago.
Today was a game that we needed to win,expected to win and should have won and now to have much hope at all we need to win 50% of our remaining games.
It would take a huge shift in results but does not need much of a shift in general performance.
We just need to create more chances,take more chances and make less mistakes-simples. |  | | |

I am still hurting. It is going to take a hell of an effort to get us out of it. I will stay positive and tomorrow will be rosier, but for now, still hurting. |  | | |

It’s been patently obvious to me since October were as good as down so I’ve mentally prepared myself for that
On the plus side loads of new grounds to visit |  |

It is going to take a colossal turnaround from here. Short of signing a couple of fantastic players, I have given up hope Hoppy. Here is to something amazing in the next few days or weeks but I won't hold my breath. |  |

The 6 points we've thrown away in under half an hour of bizarre defensive meltdowns against Brizzle and now Millwall looks absolutely huge. Both games we deserved to win across the piece but managed to chuck away with horrendous defending for brief second half spells. That simply can't happen again if we want to have any chance of staying up but, at home at least, we have at least been putting ourselves in positions where we can win the game. That didn't happen under Hurst at PR. |  |

Millwall also hadn't won away all season until today. 10 points from safety (more like 11) means we need 4 wins to even catch up.........we have only won 2 all season so far. I just can't see it when we let in at least 2 goals a game.....

To be fair, memory is short.
Under Hurst we did put ourselves ahead in games at PR - Blackburn and Norwich spring to mind.
We have been shooting ourselves in the foot with poor defending all season and it seems to be getting worse. We are missing experience and organisation on the pitch. | |

They were the only two games we led at home and for a combined total of about 15 minutes. We didn't really deserve to win either game. Under Lambert we've led in 5 out of 6 home games and ought to have won at least two more than we have. We aren't far away, we need better defenders in and another option up front to make us more clinical but it's relatively small margins to make us a side capable of winning our home games. | |

Today, the hope died for me, as the third goal went in. 10 points from safety, 11 really considering our GD. This means we need 4 more wins than the next 3 teams above. Not impossible but highly unlikely given our form during 2018. The standard of player we need, ME won't pay for, but with us in this position they wouldn't want to come anyway. |  | | |

I disagree about the goal difference bit.
If we won 3 by a single goal and drew one that Rotherham lost all 4 of the corresponding fixtures, they would only need of those 4 to be by a 2 goal margin for it to be the same as ours.
The bigger issue is us actually winning games. | |

I still hurt badly after today... I have only mumbled a couple of sentences to the missus.. she's knows and is leaving me be.
I really cannot see a way out of this predicament and the reality is biting hard.. painful.
I am feeling all sorts, far too much rather than thinking anything. [Post edited 1 Jan 2019 22:26]

We really have only a tiny tiny chance. Stats and history are against us totally. |  | | |

The stats said that Millwall hadn't won an away game all season before today... | |

Any team, no matter how badly they are playing, can score a goal at any time in a game, so to say under Hurst at PR we were never in a position where we can win a game when we drew five of the seven is simply ludicrous.
I can understand trying to find positives in the team you support, so there is nothing wrong with your post until the last line, but I cannot understand these continual attempts to make out that things are so much better under the new manager with a team on a run of 7 defeats, 1 draw and 1 win in the last 9. |  |

Again, all you're highlighting here is that you haven't seen us play this season. We never genuinely looked like winning a home game under Hurst, we were never really close. Your desperation to defend him is odd. | |

Said on the official post-game comment page that until it's a mathematical certainty the team can't avert a fall into lower league then not prepared to give up on it. Some people are insistent the club is beyond salvation, that's their business and while appreciate their opinion, just can't bring oneself to admit it's a lost cause at what is essentially still very much a premature time.
All we need do is focus on key areas of the team namely defense and attack and the rest should fit into place. Get rid of the dead wood holding the club back and bring in some no-thrills players that are workmanlike and dependable. Could be a number of individuals in the squad feeling sorry for themselves or not realizing their potential, this has to be addressed one way or another in the immediate time ahead. |  | | |

Agree 100%. It really hurts tonight, as I was so proud of our team. The kids were fantastic and Harrison superb. Much to build on | | | |

It was also Millwalls first win away all season. | | | |

Had we won, we'd still be 7 points adrift. That's the problem even winning we rely on other results. |  | | |

The four teams above us really aren't any better than we are and three of them have been dropping very steadily since about October. The problem is that gap we have to make up of course.
A lot comes down to the Rotherham match, win that and build on it. |  |
