Bowyer Going?

I don't quite get this. Why is a Millwall fan regularly contributing to our forum? It seems just as strange that Lifers routinely engage with him. Nothing personal, of course - just weird. I wouldn't dream of trawling round the Millwall forum, trying to be friends with their fans...

@Big_Bad_World and @MillwallFan are good lads who do not come on here taking the p***, unlike the palice cock.

More than happy to see BBW & MF posting on here, they are two of the more sensible and reasoned posters. Nothing wrong with rival fans on this and other forums, its what football is all about.

I have a lot of Millawall supporting friends & family and in the good old days we would go to Charlton one week and Millwall the next just to get our fix of football and enjoy a pint and a catch up.

I’d have a chat about football with a Charlton fan over a pint in a pub, don’t see much difference tbh. 

Always try to keep it respectful as aware it’s not my board. 

You come across as a good bloke and I enjoy reading your comments. 

Also if you pissed me off I would know where to find you.
At Guildford waiting for Pompy.

Good motivational manager, not sure about him as a footballing tactician. A bit like Neil Harris. Loves a sound bite. Probably more suited to L1 if I’m honest

...just my opinion . 

Even though you enjoy this forum I really don’t think you have any, not even the slightest idea just what Bowyer has had to endure during his time in charge. Even then he got the team promoted and I suspect you’ll struggle to get more than a couple of people on this site who put our relegation down to Bowyer. 

I wouldn’t put your relegation down to him either. I think without all the back room shenanigans he’d probably have kept you up this season. The following season he may have got found out. Same as Harris did. That’s the pattern those type of managers tend to take. 

I’m not making that judgement on where you finished in the table. More from the type of decisions he makes during a match and listening to pre and post match interviews etc. 

That’s not a dig at the man. I think he has done brilliant at Charlton, What with all the crap he’s had to endure, getting you promoted last year etc but I just think he’s limited to that sort of level, L1... lower championship maybe? Can’t see him managing a premier league club, or a club aspiring to be PL anytime soon. 

As I say, just my opinion, and I may get proven wrong. We’ll see

Is this the Harris that is managing a side in the playoffs tonight?

Be honest, you wouldn’t recognise a good manager if you saw one.

Yeah, I wouldn’t recognise a good manager if I saw one. Incidentally, here’s some of Harris’ stats since he took over at cardiff...

Yet we still threw away a 2-0 lead

Neither would I, because even on line they would still manage to steal our lunch money.

@MillwallFan and @Big_Bad_World are the rare millwall supporters that appear to have completed school! They are good posters with good views on football and lnon football matter. Bbw helped people out from this forum when in need at the beginning of the pandemic. Both are welcome on here in my opinion, unlike that palace guy who is on the wind up.

Reckon we'd have held on had Cullen not gotten injured

Enjoy your contributions Millwall fan you are welcome in my opinion

Second this, and I also have questions about Bowyer's tactical acumen. It's hard not to after that last run of games. That's not to say he hasn't done amazing things with the club. He has. But he still has shortcomings and is still learning his trade. And his backroom staff isn't particularly experienced either. 

Given time, I expect him to iron a lot of these things out. But the job he's been given has been neigh on impossible.

As much as.our historical rivalry has set us against each other, both on and off the pitch, we are all fans.of the club's we.love and the game we love. Our similarities are probably more than that at many levels. Anyone that wants to contribute in a respectful manner is welcomed in my view. These fellas have always come across as balanced and not WUM's so can't see.the problem with their contributions. 

Back on topic. Bowyer is a young inexperienced manager who has much to learn in his craft, bit he brings playing experience that most of not all of our squad can respect, which is one of the key aspects of his role. He may be naive at times but he's our manager and one of us, so gets slack where others wouldn't. Hope he stays

Happy to have @MillwallFan and @Big_Bad_World on this site

It's depressing how well Millwall have been run when compared to us over the last few years. A normal football club

I also enjoy reading other fan's contributions, but I wouldn't put it as strongly as that...

The fact that Millwall are more normal than Charlton now is a sign of how far we've fallen!

Karanka appointed at Birmingham, think that may mean LB stays!!! 

At least Eddie will be ahead of Bows if any jobs come up. 🙂

The one thing going in our favourite, despite the ridiculousness of our situation , LB is not proven in the championship as a manager, Bournemouth should have money, and will have their pick of managers.

If we had survived in the championship I’d have said maybe, perhaps , but why would you employ a manager that had just got a club relegated, if you yourself had got relegated, and needed an experienced hand with a track record of promotions.

Lees got his talk with whatever board / owners we’ve got in charge, next week.

They will need to convince him that his future lies here, and that we are going to bounce back.

If Lee walks, then this site will be in meltdown next week.

I agree with us.  I expected Lee to go to Birmingham; now I think he will start next year without a club 

He'll stay with us.

Get out Lee for your health and family. Time for someone else to pick up the mantle and lead us out of this nightmare.
