Millwall is another. They only give us top tier and we give them the full whack. Brentford/ Fulham/QPR are others with a smaller away allocation
Millwall is the only one though where they keep part of the end empty. The other clubs give us the whole end or with Luton and Fulham a part end because of genuine restricted capacity
Davis got a lot of grief for his clearance attempt for their goal. It wasn't great, but in mitigation it was a clearance on the turn that he had to screw his body round to get away and didn't quite manage to pull it off. Far more important there though is where the hell was Doughty? When you watch it back he's absolutely nowhere, I'm not even sure he was still on this planet when they broke down our left. Considering it was 2 minutes after we'd scored and reset it's insane that he was so far out of position for that goal. Granted he's not a natural left back, but even for a player who's not as comfortable there, 'don't be in outer space' is a pretty standard positioning tip that most players should be comfortable with. Bonkers.
He's experienced enough to know he should have played it the way he was facing rather than twist and risk a weak clearance.
Considering he was running back towards goal trying to help plug the gaps in the box, playing the way he was facing would have resulted in him having a crack on our goal, so probably not a wise choice in this case.

It would have been easier to put the ball in the East Stand.
