The Bell injury curse will send us down. Out of our hands now, as there is no way what remains of our team will pick up another point.

For the love of god, we do not want Millwall to have nothing to play for in terms of position on the last day, because I see Oxford beating Sheff Wednesday.17 -
Tend to agree - but as Golfie has pointed out, we can’t maintain it for an hour even. If we play like that from the start we need a two goal lead. Otherwise we just cannot defend it at the moment.ForeverAddickted said:The Red Robin said:Post-match on Sky:
Nathan Jones thinks it was an even game.Doesn't dispute the penalty. Says we’re making too many mistakes and individual errors.Sounds like TC was an injury.
Moans about the ref.
Says we were disjointed, especially second half, because of the injuries and couldn’t be as aggressive.
Sounds like the plan is to go at Hull early Saturday, as we did tonight.Cant really argue with any of it...Makes sense that we'll go at Hull early on Saturday, it’s exactly what we've done these last two home games now.2 -

Equally don’t think kelman for dykes was wise, but hardly a shock anymore.A sub bench of OAP Berry, a freshly fit Godden, a freshly fit knibbs , and then target man dykes has given us only one dimension from the bench.Would have loved to have had Fullah to bring on10 -

If Ipswich win their game in hand and the other, then the last game of the season will be a nothing match for Millwall, as they won't be able to better their goal difference. We are in trouble.5
-
I seem to remember a stat when we last met earlier in the season, that their squad cost £273m to put together. That's not an equal playing field. Fine margins maybe on the scoreline but economics in football are often the key factor.5
-
For the first half an hour we went back to doing everything that worked well for us at the start of the season, pressed high, played with two mobile forwards, had a wing back who was willing to drive us up the pitch and drop a shoulder to beat a man.
As soon as Ipswich scored it started to unravel. We started to surrender territory alongside the lack of possession we were already suffering.
The second half was appalling. Yes, injuries didn't help, but the reversion to lumping aimless balls to Dykes who seems to have decided he is on his way in the summer and doesn't want to get injured before the world cup, was a joke.
Yet again a team came to the Valley and spent a half passing round us and had us chasing our tails. Zero shots on or off target in an entire half, at home is inexusible. Jones has to shoulder some of the blame for that second half, I had no idea what we were trying to do for the majority of that half. The substitutes looked lost.
Positives for me were Fevrier, Doherty and the front two linking up pretty well in the first half.
Conversely, Gillesphey was a disaster and none of the substitutes had any impact at all.
I have a feeling we will sneak a point on Saturday and staying up will be an admirable achievement. However, make no mistake about it, the performances and results since Boro away have been horrific. The end of the season has been nothing short of a shambles. Some of the stats coming out are a real concern for next year, what is it now 39 times this season we have failed to score more than one goal?
We are going to need wholesale chnages next season if we stay up and Jones is going to have to come up with a more progressive stye of play as if we continue this defensive mindset I can see fans voting with their feet and gates dropping off as well.5 -

Rant rant rant, you forgot to mention we would have been winning at half time if Alfie May was still here.ct_addick said:There is a reason Luton have had back to back relegations…Kaminksi is a fucking clown and then add Burke to that…Bell has been good part from last couple of weeks…3 -
I found Ipswich to be dirty bastards…they’ve done Godders and TC….every time they got beat they would foul us…plus the diving cheating McAteer and Clarke….hope they don’t go up…Boro best footballing side I have seen this season6
-
Shocking ref .. the foul on Godden was awful , everytime we got forward he blew up for a foul …3 injuries , Collins out on his feet so was Fev who was excellent … deserved a point for effort but you can’t beat the officials …. Ipswich no better than us .. frustrating feel sorry for the boys tonight

In that scenario, I think it is hard to argue that.5 -
I don't think he's as good as many suggest, but he's certainly not appalling. Average maybe.NorthStandUltra said:
Seriously!?! 😂😂 Convince me I’m wrong about Collins, I assume it’s the Kenyan comment you’re on about.shine166 said:NorthStandUltra said:Are we still saying keep the faith? Still confident but it’s never easy is it - don’t like the thought of potentially relying on a Millwall result on the final day.The Kenyan is appalling BTW
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.He wasn’t great tonight & I’ve not been convinced other than his debut, I’m allowed my opinion like you’re allowed a Palestine flag on your profile picture 👍🏼0 -

First half played well and were only level at the break due to a perfect finish from them. Some real bad luck with injuries tonight but it was brutal watching just how few options we had with a couple of players going off. We had no width due to TC going off and their CBs were so dominant even Jones and Dykes couldn’t win a header. I said a couple of weeks ago that we won’t get another point this season and I stand by that, especially if Bell, Godden and TC aren’t available. We’re an awful team at this level and we now need to hope Oxford don’t defy the odds. Please let it end.4

They'll want to get 3rd at least and play Wrexham/Hull and not Boro or SouthamptonIR94 said:If Ipswich win their game in hand and the other, then the last game of the season will be a nothing match for Millwall, as they won't be able to better their goal difference. We are in trouble.8 -

All fair enough to me. They had the quality we lack, but can’t say they pummelled us or totally dominated.ForeverAddickted said:The Red Robin said:Post-match on Sky:

It comes down to the lack of creativity again, and ability to take chances. We did enough between the boxes to score more than one tonight but also didn’t carve out enough sights of goal or get enough quality into their box to do so.
When you can only score once, you are so vulnerable to any mistake you make costing you all the points.All that said, I think if we’d been playing Hull tonight and played like that, I think we’d have got something from the game. Especially if we hadn’t lost so many players to injury.
Let’s hope they can dig deep and do it again Saturday. If the do, they’ll have a chance but I worry about who will be fit and out there to try and do it.4 -

3rd would be home second leg wouldn't it if I recall correctly?

12 LOL's I got when I said on the Preston post match thread that we would go down...well.
What an absolute nightmare scenario Nathan Jones and the team have got us all into. Buck stops with the manager, shit game management pretty much all season and absolutely terrorist football for most of it.
One spot above the relegation zone, the similar shit shows of Pompey, Blackburn and West Brom all now safe and on the beach.
Oxford with the best fixture in the Championship this season, Sheffield Wednesday at home whereas we play a play off chasing team and then go away to Swansea who have the leagues top scorer leading the line with 22 goals so far this season. Oxford head to Millwall who may or may not be in a position where they rest most of their XI ahead of the play offs.
This club will be the death of me.6 -
The problem is, when SCP picked up 15 players (or whatever it was) in league one, they were costing buttons. Now to overhaul a championship squad costs £30-50m in a blink of an eye, and with no guarantee that they'll gell together, or stay fit.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:The squad is just not good enough for this level. It's been evident for the last two thirds of the season and particularly so the past couple of months.
Just hope that the football Gods smile on us and Sheffield Wednesday take a point off Oxford or we can get something ourselves on Saturday.
Still completely in our hands and just need one more result.
Massive squad overhaul of Chris Powell League one season proportions required pre season if we do manage to stay up.
You can't compete comfortably when perhaps only 2 or 3 of your entire squad are able to play well consistently at this level.
On to Saturday and let's hope Jones and the players can do the business for 90 plus minutes then and get the result we need.

it’s in our hands in theory but not sure many still believe we can get a point against Hull and Swansea. This side is simply not good enough and morale must be rock bottomRonnieMoore said:

Won't happen but outside of Lloyd Jones and possibly sichenji, we need a 9 or 10 new starters for next season if we manage to stay up. We have a few who could be squad players but the majority are not at the level5
