Poor result - we now have to beat Coventry 14:57 - Dec 26 with 825 viewsIP1Blue

A draw is a poor result today and now we have to beat coventry.

Boro now have two home games and if we don’t beat Coventry, we could be 10 points behind them.

Not good enough. We can’t keep relying on the next game or other teams to get us out of where we should be which is the top 2 with the money we have spent.

Agreed. Felt we had to win today, but we have zero attacking threat away from home. Really poor result.

This block of four games, really needed ten points. Now we have to win all three.

2/12 from last four away games isn’t good enough.

It's not a poor result. It's an okay result. People could do with not pissing themselves after every game we fail to win.

It is a poor result. Had no central midfielders 100% fit and there best player in Azeez suspended.

All good beating Sheffield Wednesday at home but if you can’t back it up and then lose at Coventry, then you’ve not got a chance at top 2.

If we’re 10 points behind the top 2 after Coventry, would you consider that a good start to the season?

No, I wouldn't consider it a good start to the season. But that's an entirely different debate to whether a draw at Millwall is a poor result, which it isn't.

It’s a poor performance and a bad result contextually for me, when you consider we are chasing and they had main players out, a missed opportunity. Again.

Same problems as well.

Thought it was an average performance. Got into enough good areas but lacked cutting edge and weren't clinical enough. Not a bad performance away from home.

Going away to a Play Off team and getting a point is never a bad result. As you say, it's an okay result.

Preston, Charlton, Oxford and Watford. Those were the bad results.

For me. An ok/fine result for our play-off credentials. A poor result for our top two credentials. A frustrating result when considering how we performed second half vs our potential.

In isolation it's a decent result. But we are at the point of needing better than par results. Puts added pressure on the Cov game.If we win that and it's a very decent couple of away games. That is is big If though.

Hmm low quality game of football. Think a few are starting to accept very mediocre performances because of what the squad has shown for the first half of the season.

Have to be winning games like that if yoh want to gain ground and get automatics, wasn’t the low block excuse either, so much space on the right, just not good enough.

A lot of in isolation games this year! The type of performance is a trend (how many games have we failed in to score now?) it won’t be good enough for top 2, not without a decent striker anyway.

9 points from 3 home games would suggest that 2/12 points in the away ones is only 2 points short of the magic 2 ppg. Draw away, win at home. Of course, winning 3 on the trot away helped as well.

Ultimately from this block of 4 games 10 points would have been a fantastic return. 7+ is decent bearing in mind the 2 away ones are against top 6 sides. Win 2 of the other 3 and it's fine. Somewhere along the line we do need to go at above 2 ppg, though.

Think we only won once at a top 6 side in our promotion campaign in 2023/24. Appreciate the circumstances are different now as we're chasing rather than leading the way, but I'm not sure you can describe that as a game we have to be winning. Pick something up at Coventry then beat Oxford and Pompey and it'll have been a good Christmas period.

Really don’t see the relevance, that would be ok if we were beating Wrexham, Charlton, Watford, Derby and the likes at home.

Going to slightly disagree really. It’s not a disaster but the kind of game you need to be winning against weakened opposition when playing catch up.

Especially when they were there for the taking.

It is a poor result if you are hunting a top 2 spot.

But it was a fair result, looked like two poor sides today, was a tough watch.

Certainly a game we should have been winning but Millwall are no mugs and packed their box making them difficult to score against. They are 6th for a reason. We were missing our only number 9 and that is a problem. Both Azon and Akpom are far too big a drop off from Hirst. A point at Millwall is fine. We need to go at 2 ppg. We have gone half a season at 8 points below that so somewhere along the line we need to pick those extra points up. Let's hope we can get the striker we need in the door this January. Without them we might well be struggling, though.

If we lose to Cov, we’ll be 16 pts behind them which is surely too much to claw back in the last 22 games.

Just hope that Boro don’t extend their lead over us as well otherwise top two looks very unlikely

They are good in the air and strong but at times they were stretched there was tones of space on the flanks, especially the right but we weren’t exploiting it enough and lacked pace.

In the last ten minutes I counted a spell when we had about 18 passes to finally try a cross which hit the first man, then Taylor tried some fancy chip that just went out of play. Kind of summed it up.

It's really not. Drawing away at a team contending for the play offs is a perfectly decent result for a side with top 2 aspirations.

Yes, they gave us space down the flanks and packed the box. That was the issue.

Agreed. It's a good point if you are aiming for 6th place. Millwall will finish top 10

We were incapable of laying a glove on an injury hit Millwall team. As usual we are

Ponderous on the ball
Laboured in our build up play.
We Lack any semblance of
Intensity in our play until 70 mins+
Pace
Change of pace
Poor ability to cross the ball with any pace on it
Minimal over lapping play
Why do we try to walk it into the net instead of shooting early
Where's the spontaneity in this team??
Where's the fluency in this " team"

Get Morsy back here for Gods sake
Return Akpom and Azon neither are good enough even if Mcken ever decides to play them in their correct position...

This style of play is coached. Its frustrsting to watch week after week and frankly, its boring.
