  1. We'll probably win this pretty comfortably because nobody cares.
  2. I was under the impression that if they finish more than 12 clear of bottom 3 it will be next season, if not it'll be this season. Who knows though with the EFL.
  3. I'd personally say someone who plays off the front, he's certainly not a leader of the line from what I have seen of him. All his clips we saw prior to him signing was of him picking up the ball a bit deeper and running at players.
  4. I've no idea to be honest. That was the main reason Milwall vs Middlesbrough was a 3pm kick off last Wednesday so Boro could get back at a decent hour. Maybe we're travelling down on the day and just staying the one night after the game?
  5. Think they are at the moment aren't they?
  6. I'd be surprised if away fans are allowed in next season but who knows. The sensible option does seem to be let home fans only in for a while to stop thousands descending on different city's every week, but even then how do you decide what home fans go? As we know many of our season ticket holders travel from out of town, do you only allow locals in first and take it from there? Or do you only allow ST holders in despite where they are travelling from, as I suppose going up to Blackburn for the day and watching the footy is no different to going to Blackpool on a random day out and milling around the town.
  7. Man to man there is only probably one or two you would take and put in our side. Milwall just seem to play uncomplicated football as a team though, with a clear plan of what they want to do. We always look a bit disjointed, mainly because we play lads who are uncomfortable in there roles, and we never let a settled 11 have a go at it for a good run of games, even read an article yesterday on lancs live and Mowbray is quoted as saying "I've never been one to keep the same team". We certainly know that Tony.
  8. Weird isn't it, but that's modern football for you for some clubs. Qualifying for Europe is a great achievement, actually being in it seems to be a hindrance. We have been guilty of that at times, I'm thinking the games against CSKA and Genclerbirligi under Souness. On a slightly different note, but it drives me mad that teams situated in midtable in the top flight play weakened teams in the League & FA Cup, these clubs should be throwing absolutely everything at the chance to win a major trophy.
  9. I think Brereton replacing Dack & Gallagher replacing Graham ready for next season was the initial thinking behind signing them both in 2018 & 19 respectively, but in between that it seems to have all gone to pot with Mowbray constantly changing formation and personnel, plus the fact that the two mentioned have ended up being terrible signings.
  10. It was nice to see one of the midfielders breaking his neck to get beyond the strikers to be honest, it's something we very rarely see. I bet Mowbray was having a fit on the bench.
  11. Nyambe looks like he could genuinely terrify the opposition when he starts to bomb forward, so much pace and power, just needs to work on that final ball and decision making in the final third.
  12. I'm not sure Gallagher is a number 10. I remain convinced that Brereton & Gallagher were signed to learn "our way of playing" as Mowbray always puts it, in view to replacing the Dack/Graham partnership from the 20/21 season.
  13. Seeing as Mowbray doesn't like "flighty" wingers and loves number 10s, how about more of a 4222 formation? Seems like we went that way when we made the 4 subs yesterday. Probably get the best of what ever limited player is in Gallagher that way too, as let's be honest he's going to play more often than not. Problem is we would need two bloody good full backs to get that system to work.
  14. Whilst I agree with this, Mowbray's sides haven't played with natural width for the 3.5 years he's been here, I don't see that changing now.
  15. 2013 was the last time a side finished 6th on less than 70 points, it was Leicester with 68. Could be even lower than that this year with the way things are going. It really was there for the taking this season, and one we'll look back on in a few years as a huge missed opportunity.
  16. Mowbray will always go around in these cycles though, horrible winless runs followed by an ok run with the odd really good run thrown in there. In the end it all mounts to W1, L1, D1. More or less where we have been at this level since 2012.
  17. Gallagher to Palace just gave me flashbacks to when they paid us 2.5m for Shefki Kuqi.
  18. I think we'll see Bennett & Gallagher in for JRC and Graham.
  19. Face masks and socially distant seating, can't say I'm in any rush to get back under them conditions to be honest
  20. Interesting. I think it would be an idea not to have any away fans anywhere for a while and see how things go.
  21. Hopefully we'll send Gallagher & Brereton ?
  22. Yeah I was going to say similar, Brereton would have spent the season at Barrow if he had come through the academy.
  23. There's no way we will be signing a right winger whilst we have Gallagher on the books.
  24. Not for me. I enjoy the Christmas period too much. Plus, from a personal point off view I would miss loads of matches if it was 3 a week, every week.
  25. True. 6 years since we did it at this level.
