If the threat was balls humped forward why didn't we get toto on as he has the extra height required |  | | |  |

Doesn't take someone with professional coaches badges to work out Millwall's game plan after HT. They closed us down much more causing our midfield to panic and revert to long ball - why an earth would you do that against a big, physical side? Once we got the ball back on the deck and passed it around we caused them problems again. I don't agree with PL assessment that we got caught up in the emotion, he just got his tactics wrong.

Did he?
The tactics worked fist half, I highly doubt he said at HT 'knock it long now lads'
The player sh1t themselves & stopped doing what was working so well. |  |

Yeah, this. And it comes with an inexperienced side, like he said.
A bit more know-how and we never lose that game. |  |

To go with this point, I hate all the can we hang on to the win when we get a goal in-front. If your on top go for the kill, we aren't good enough or mentally good enough to sit back and see out the win.
We haven't been ruthless enough for quite some time and it is going to take longer than a few months to get this back on the pitch. |  |

I think that game was the biggest example on how you can't win with kids.
Appreciate some are early 20's but you get what I mean. a Norris in the middle type player would have calmed the midfield, someone like Murphy uptop to lead the line. A Berra at the back to calm things down. |  |

I'm not saying that they were told to go long ball. But if they lapse into that because of the other teams tactics then it is up to the manager to sort it out - it is what he is paid for. | |

How much "know-how" do you need at a professional second-tier football club? Surely the prime mover of this is the manager? | |

Agree.
Bringing Morrison on signalled a change of tactic from Harris and Millwall. We saw that for nearly fifteen minutes of the second-half that both Chambers and Pennington were going to struggle to deal with the aerial threats. So then it needed a third centre-half - either Knudsen and we go five at the back or Nsiala. Either would have helped.
To that end I would be critical of Lambert for failing to react. |  |

I was somewhat staggered listening to Mick Mill on RS after the game that he was suggesting we should have done exactly that. Get everyone in a quarter of the field and pump it up there every time! No passing at the back just hoof it up. Given some of his criticism of Micks football in the past I was amazed. | | | |
