Almost like the first goal sapped our confidence not built it after half time. Millwall will love that result comparatively won’t they? Ended up a fair result after we should have been comfortable, can’t believe we struggled to deal with 442 stop the boats/press football. Is McKenna just not versed in that sort of thing? Seems hard to believe to me.
I thought Johnson played well again, Jaden looks unfit and most of the subs didn’t improve us or even keep us at the same level. Another game full of what ifs and each keeper will point to great things they did today.
Frustrating to say the least. |  |

Second half was about a wiser, more tactically astute manager with more experience outhinking a less experienced manager who does not adapt from the original game plan. |  | | |

Maybe Millwall upping their game and playing really well ?
But I appreciate its all about our inadequacies, the other team just gets in the way of the opportunity to criticise. |  | | |

Lost all shape. Subs did not have any impact. Milwall keeper worked on his tan second half as he had nothing to do. We don’t test keepers enough. |  |

I would give Millwall credit, thought they were excellent after the break. We didn't respond particularly well and our subs made us much worse, primarily by nullifying Clarke. | | | |

Poor subs from McKenna, needs to be more reactive in games as Clarke had Kramma on toast and there was no need to change it. Put Jaden on the right if he had to come on. He's too robotic and process driven at times for me |  |

But the ‘wiser more tactical’ manager was hanging on in the first half.
Why so many love putting McKenna down is beyond me |  |

lol. Do you have any other modes? A bit like your inability to make any comment apart from that criticising other supporters. | | | |

Millwall got a rollocking at half time and rightly so. They were crap in the first half and kept dropping deeper and deeper. We were naive if we thought they wouldn’t have a go at us in the second half. We still had chances second half, but messed them all up.
In the end that’s a fair, but disappointing, result. |  |

Their goal sapped our confidence and gave them fresh legs. They pressed much higher in the second half and we couldn't play through them like we did in the first. The subs didn't work out and our passing/decision making regressed considerably the longer the game went on.
A frustrating and disappointing outcome. But it could have been worse. | | | |

Certainly how it comes across - Millwall went with two up front but we just stuck to the usual formation, usual subs and no deviation. McKenna seems unable, or perhaps is unwilling, to adapt during matches. Very fortunate not to lose at the end there and certainly there was only going to be one winner the longer the match went on.
A break now, get the players rested and the injured/suspended ones back for a huge month. |  | | |

Honestly, just giving in to his begging for attention will drag another thread into the usual. He doesn’t even read what is written much like watching our games but still commenting it seems.
I’m assuming all those agreeing with me will be told the same thing. Would rather fans discussed the game than polluting the board. | |

I think we lost the midfield once we made the changes. We couldn't get hold of the ball once Neil went off. And on the rare occasion we did, we couldn't distribute it well enough. |  |

But McKenna is no novice and he’s been at United in far bigger situations than this. I don’t think Alex Neil is worthy of that sort of praise or McKenna that sort of dismissal.
If two big lads up top is enough to undo us, that’s a massive problem. When there was less of an out ball at the back we didn’t use the one in midfield etc. That’s more down to the subs and drop in quality and intensity. | |

Keep kidding yourself, they were woeful and we just lost the plot at half time |  | | |

Grow up, theres a good Ernest.
I was giving my opinion, we were excellent first half, Millwall played really well second half. | | | |

Does feel like given we scored again from unleashing and we had Clarke, philogene, Taylor and Egeli all on the field one of them could have had a go more doesn’t it?
That said we had a few crosses where we didn’t overload the defence etc or enough in the box. In other games this season we would have gotten stronger in the second half wouldn’t we? | |

Yep. Taylor was same old I guess lots of energy not a lot of effectiveness. I thought Neil was much better this weekend than previous too. | |

Those breaks.. 3 on 3, 4 on 4 or maybe having an extra man. Final ball always took the wrong option or the final ball was underweight or misplaced. So frustrating.
Millwall defended very well and put bodies on the line and the best bit of quality in the game was the cross for their goal.
The effort was there. Just needed that extra bit of quality. | | | |

Jaden is clearly not match fit and Clarke was so effective on the left. Clarke on the right has never worked so McKenna should have put Philogene there and left Clarke where he was. | |

I would honestly have rather have seen Cajuste come on. They were bringing on Bannon which would give them more control and we went with Taylor who would give us less. He's not good enough on the ball as much as I like his character. Good drive through the middle summed him up unfortunately with the quality lacking at the end which gave them a really dangerous transition.
It was a foul for their goal. But if anything it was well played by their lad as he disguised it well and you rarely get those ones. A clear shove on Furlong on the replay and absolutely not just a shoulder to shoulder. But it wasn't an easy one for the ref in real time. | |

I don’t think it was at all, Furlong was just so weak and looking for it when he just had to stand up and let it move away from both of them. | |

Same as the Preston and Leicester keepers second half, if we are going to pick the wrong ball or constantly delay it maybe we should just shoot. Look what happened when we did. What was Taylor doing with that breakaway. Ugh |  |

Second half we didn't look confident on the ball. Some inexcusable passes as well. First half was a joy to watch.
When we don't get some of the decisions from the ref we become rattled and ineffective. |  | | |

Only had the live look at it, but I'd blame Akpom as much as Taylor, if not more, for the breakaway. He seemed to run away from the ball, even when it was obvious he needed to go to it. | |
