Cant stand all this slating of one player because he had a bad game. Need to grow up some of the people on here and get over it and move on . Theres a lot of games ahead , and we're struggling with injuries ,get behind the team whoever it is , if you're going to support the team then you have to support them through the good ,the bad and the ugly; games when players dont perform for what ever reason are frustrating but to start using foul language to describe what you think of them is totally disrespectful.
This is going to sound mad but I liked the look of Sarr. As an opposing fan he kept Wallace quiet for large portions of the game. Without him on your left Wallace would have torn you a new one.
As soon as Lapslie came on I turned to one of my mates and said 'We'll win this. Bowyer's going for a draw. Smith will come on and do something'. Now that something was, in my eyes at the time, a towering, blatant foul, header (I haven't seen it back so can't comfirm) that caused the cup final-esque, raucous scenes that you witnessed.
A special mention must go out to the reaction at winning a corner in the latter stages of the first half that was reminiscent of winning an actual cup final
A draw would have been fair, had it not been for two world class saves from the Bart man (Phillips deserves credit for the amazing save from Thompson as well). Gallagher flattered to deceive. There's a player in there but doesn't seem as though he's got the combative side needed. If you could mould Thompson and Galllagher together then you'd have one hell of a player.
As you can see, not here to gloat, just to add a tuppenceworth from an opposing stand.
Totally gutted by yesterday’s result. It real feels that the reality of the championship is catching up with us. Such fine margins between winning and losing. We just don’t get the rub of the green against Millwall.
Awful, awful, awful. Where has the 'in your face' & 'lets get at them' spirit of the first 6 weeks of the season gone..? We were back to the lacklustre days of Parkinson & Gobbinson. We didnt get going for the 35 minutes & really only played for the last 10 mins of the 1st half & the first 10 of the 2nd half. Only players to come out with any credit were Cullen, Lockyer & Matthews. Pratley & Gallagher were ok but both were only at 90% but the rest were dire. I cant believe that this is just down to missing Taylor & Williams and I hope to god people aren't thinking the tide will turn once our "Talisman" striker is back.......
LB is a rookie manager & I think that the crest of a wave he's been riding on ever since Page hit that screamer v Plymouth has now finally been beached. Its a good job there is an International break as it gives him & his backroom staff time to take stock and to look at what is going wrong. This goes deeper than just a poor day today. We weren't at the races last Sunday and apart from beating a poor Derby side we havent been playing well for weeks.
However......we are sitting better than I thought we would be come mid-November & as long as we can pick up a few points by the new year I still think we will be safe by March time. Just need to be more positive, to take games to the opposition.......and if playing with wingbacks then at least play players who can attack down the flanks & put in a decent cross!!! Ie, Matthew's & Oshilaja (shame both play on the right)
I pretty much agree with this. I'd like to say we dominated the game and were undone by 2 set pieces. But that would be pretty disingenuous and untrue. I'd like to say we would have won that game if we had Taylor and Williams playing. But that would be pure conjecture and the grasping at straws by the lame. I'd like to say the introduction of Lapslie had a single positive reasoning. But it gave every negative signal imaginable. I'd like to say that Smith scoring from that corner was pure happenstance But I bet I wasn't the only person who predicted it before the corner was taken. I'd like to say Millwall are cunts. So I did

We were poor for the first 30 minutes and then were the better of two very average sides we desperately miss Taylor and Williams and although I am a fan of Nabby he has had two very poor games
When we lost the ball for their corner at the end felt it was so inevitable they would score
Was there with my 11 year old grandson and the last time I saw us win there I took his Mum when she was younger than him it’s been too long
The international’s have come at the right time and we need to refresh and refocus and I feel we will be fine if and it always is a big if a takeover happens very confident for the future
Taking the disappointment out of it, we’re still in striking distance of the top sides. Just look at Luton and Barnsley to realise what sort of season we’re having. The international break arrives at the right time. Get Taylor back and work on a solid system with the 11 we’ll be going with for the next three games. And make play offs the target now. Set a goal.

There is a goal... Survival!!
Got to remember that promotion / play-offs wasnt even the fans aim at the start of the season its only become that because of our unrealistic start to the season
Bowyer has constantly repeated that fact and for me until we get enough points (around fifty) 21st should be the aim
I know you dont say it either but for people to say Bowyer's honeymoon period is over is ludicrious, the Management team have just gone through a tough run of games which started against Leeds and ended yesterday against Millwall - We've had endless injuries where we've not been able to pick our best team and like this stage last season we've struggled, the only difference is the fact that losing key players is going to be more difficult to handle against top Championship teams than it is to handle against ordinary League One teams!!
I know its frustrating that we lost to Millwall and its no surprise with some comments but we need some perspective!!
If come the end of the season we've dropped six points against Millwall yet stay up (whether its comfortably or not) then I'll be happy, dont give a toss about bragging rights

I do think we will stay up. Yes we are struggling at the moment as you rightly say but I think we will be OK. Luton and Barnsley looking like they will be down there so we realistically have to just do better than one other I reckon. Boro,Wigan,Blackburn,Reading,Millwall, just have to finish above one of them hopefully
Slept on it, still pissed off. That performance was nothing short of a disgrace. The audacity to come and out and pretend we weren't playing for a draw too has fucked me off even more.
There was a point after we scored our equaliser where I felt we were going to win the game. Pratley was having a good game so not sure why he was subbed. I don't make a habit of criticising Bowyer but he has said post match that Oztumer was the only attacking option from the bench, but he didn't use him.
I like Lapslie but he was not brought on to help open them up and they felt safer having a go after our subs which you should never let happen.
Not long been up, surprised I slept ok considering the amount of drink I had last night and the head is not in bad shape at all. Still absolutely gutted about yesterday. A set piece like that in the last minute should of been dealt with so much better. Reading the comments though and must say credit is due to @Big_Bad_World and @MillwallFan for coming on here and not gloating on the Win. Quite gutted the international break is round the corner, just want Cardiff at Home to happen tomorrow, just to forget about yesterday. Just hope the return game at The Valley in April will be 100% better than yesterday's result at The Toolbox.

So I did
We knew it would happen
Roll on the next

Sorry to hear those there were kept in so long again. Its the Police who decide is it not?
Sorry Just noticed there is a new thread on this

We'll get a lot of injuries back come the end of January and we'll see results pick up a bit more
