Stat Attack v Millwall won 8, drawn 8, lost 12
Millwall are a bit of a bogey team for us, with Rovers losing 4 out of the last 6 matches and no win against the Lions since November 2010; Hayter and Healy on the scoresheet for Donny that day. If you go back over 30 years, as far as 1983, Rovers have only won 2 out of the 14 meetings.

Has a whiff of Fergie running out of options to try to break the hoodoo.

I can't make it today. That means we'll probably win! It seems a long time since we went to their place and had around 30 efforts at goal and won 3-0 (Feb 2008 if I remember rightly).
Copps and Butler cannot be 100% fit?
Strong bench though. Need Grant to run MF and Alcock to get back to his old form. Score the first goal please!

Looks to me like Copps isn't fully fit and is going to be used as an impact sub for now.
Butler I find a bit puzzling. Ok he's slow but he is our most reliable defender. Not saying much, I admit!

I also find it puzzling also. Last week Millwall scored three headers all from set plays. We don't have a good header in the defence for today. Let's see what happens. To me Chaplow needs to show a vast improvement to grasp the role permanent.

As usual, gifting the oppo a start, seems a given.

We're certainly digging ourselves a hole as we circle the drop zone... I know we've had injuries, but this is not doing my rusty sheriff's badge any favours. That said, it ain't over yet and I didn't expect us to get anything out of this game, sadly.

OK but the style of play? Are we competing, in with a chance?

That was close, Chaplow only getting booked. Outrageous booking of Lund. I suspect there's more to happen, hopefully we can get one more goal than Millwall in amongst it all.

Better performance? decent result against a form side?
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster - Millwall FC

I'd have taken a point before they kicked off. Let's hope this means we're beginning to drag ourselves out of this rut. :scarf:

We can only look after ourselves. Sounds like it was a considerably better performance by us today.
liamhoden4:56pm via TweetDeck They battled, showed excellent composure and no nerves at all. It was a world away from recent performances #drfc

Status quo in terms of the table. Still 17th and three points off the drop zone.
At least the bleeding has stopped and possibly a win is just around the corner.

We were shocking until we scored but after that the confidence level rose. As a unit, defensively we look very dodgy and could easily have gone behind again.

I don't remember MW having much in the way of clearcut chances Hound. The 'Hayter' type diving header in 2nd half was the only one I can recall.

Post by: drfchound on February 28, 2016, 04:57:54 pm
There was the sitter that Morrison missed then I can remember two shots from inside the area that Millwall had quite late on. One wide and one saved by Stucky.
