Really annoying result and patchy performance, but at the end of the day, we are missing so many important players for the way Bowyer wants to play. Taylor is essential in holding the ball up and Williams is our main route to taking players on (he is also brilliant at seeing out a game and winning fouls) with either of them there yesterday, we would have drawn that game easily, with both of them we would have won. Add to that Sam Field who is needed to give Pratley a rest and both the full-backs that you would want to play five at the back, it is frankly amazing that we have done as well as we have over the past month.
We are well away from trouble, and will hopefully start to get some players back after the break. Despite the result, I would still be far more worried to be a Millwall fan this morning, because at home, they were no better than a severely weakened CAFC team on Saturday.
The future is looking very rosy, we just need to get there.
Not really, it’s a transitional period for us. Apparently Rowett can bring some players in in January. We won’t go up, but I can’t see us going down either. This season is all about steadying the ship at Millwall.
After that we should have more Huski money coming in, and the regeneration of the area as well coming up . So the future is looking ok for us as well.
in answer to someone’s question earlier in the thread, so I think the result would’ve been different if NH was still in charge. I’m almost certain we would have lost that yesterday if Harris was still in charge and relegation definitely beckoned.
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.
I'm not surprised at all that @Big_Bad_World or @MillwallFan are not gloating - they have both always come across as very decent guys.
On the international break comment - we need it badly and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Thank you very much, nice of you to say.
I can be a bit of a cock when I’ve had a few but generally I try to stay polite.

Honestly mate, you would beat us with or without a manager. We suffer from Millwall Flu. Thought it might be slightly different with Bowyer in charge and the players would have a bit of fire in their belly. Should have known better. Might have been different if we had Taylor and Williams fit, but I doubt it.

I'm not convinced your change of manager changed the result other than the "new manager bounce" effect
Your best chance of scoring against us, especially with your current squad, was always likely to be with set pieces and the aerial threat of Matt Smith, rather than silky football. Indeed Harris might have brought Smith on earlier or started him
We really really need Taylor and Williams back asap to give the side that injection of quality. And God forbid anything happens to Gallagher - we will be well and truly fucked.
Looking at the league table, worth noting that Luton and Barnsley the other promoted sides are on worse runs than us. Barnsley look certs for relegation while Luton have lost 4 in a row and have conceded 11 more goals than us.
Survival was always the main aim this season, and we were always likely to have a blip or two. Two crucial and winnable games coming up, Cardiff and Luton. The latter is a bit of a 6 pointer really.
You win as a team and you lose as a team. Sarr's fault for the second for sure but the reaction from people on CL is, as standard, way over the top. I like Sarr, it's not like he doesn't try, it's just he makes a few mistakes. Lets have it right he is on he limit of his ability in this league. Bowyer picked him, he made a mistake, it's sport it happens. Get behind the lad he will be needed.

It’s not just our dreadful record against them over the years it’s the number of times we have conceded late goals that have led to us losing or drawing.
Since my first Millwall Charlton derby game I attended in 1988/89 season I have seen them score in the last 5 mins/injury time on 6 different occasions. Beyond embarrassing.

I'm sorry but getting behind the lad resulted in their added time winner

Just seen the highlights and Sarr not attacking that ball in from the corner is why Smith scored. Sarr is becoming a liability not just for us but opposing players as well if you look at the result of his cynical foul on Johnson last week.
Well after the Fulham game Bowyer said Sarr should have taken out the guy before he went on to score so I don’t think you can blame him for last weeks bit of cynicism.

Some of you are really revealing a terrible side to yourselves here. So we should have booed him off mercilessly until he never played again? You know he was a key part of our promotion campaign?

Almost cost us the final and was subbed off at HT because he was playing so poorly. He needs to be better.
Apparently, yesterday was their 3rd sell out of the season. QPR 16808 Leeds 16311 Charlton 17109
Not sure how a sell out figure changes, also in the last four seasons that they have played us, 3 of those were the biggest gates of the season, their cup final.

This was a joke, that is why there is a smiley. A smiley means it is a joke. I'd never boo Sarr or any Charlton player. I am allowed to say that he cost us the game though with his 2 mistakes. The truth whilst not always common is still allowed even in 2019.

They win an awful lot of their cup finals. If there was a derby game where I could virtually guarantee we'd get a result, I'd probably bring my whole family along to watch.
ticked all the boxes of us away there - having said that, i said to my mate with 5 to go that if they score i would happily be nicked or end up in hospital if i any one of them got close to me enough after the game - in hindsight, being held back for 45 minutes probably isn't a bad thing - in the cold light of day, a curse is a curse, i've only myself to blame for keep going to the fixture - i don't condone violence but in this fixture i do - walked past the bunch of grapes on the way to a party and it was like the wild west in there - hopefully we smashed the fuck out of any lairy millwall gobshite in there and from what i saw from outside i think we did - good.

7 Millwall v 30 Charlton apparently. Talk of repercussions at the return fixture already. Yeah, really good that aye. Dear oh dear.

You either do or do not condone violence - you sound a tad confused.
