Assuming you mean me ELT when you say moan.
I've given credit for character at the end of my report and they showed plenty in the 2nd half. Let's not get carried away though. It could've been 2-3 or 3-3 at half time and neither team could claim to have played really well at that point. Town did show flashes of good football at times in that half but most of it comes through Sean Scannell, what happens when that avenue gets blocked off. At the same time Millwall cut through us a bit too easy at times in that half and I remember saying to Mitzi that you could tell we had 2 players in defence that don't usually play
I saw someone tweet on Sunday that this performance shows Powell isn't negative, I'm not sure where he gets that from and it certainly wasn't at Millwall in the second like he was claiming. Nothing really changed formation wise after the red card apart from we were a man light up front. 2nd half was mostly about containment as far as I could see and barring a couple of let offs from Millwall I thought we did that very well. We managed to pounce on a defensive error in the lead up to the 1st goal which was then made to look even worse by a massive clanger by the Millwall keeper. That was pure luck not exactly Powell telling them to be creative. The only real creative move was Bunn getting in the box for our third.
Like I say I wasn't bothered about looking creative at 10men, I'd have quite happily taken a point.
Oh and Millwall being a hard ground and intimidating, not for a run of a mill league game it isn't. Just look at there home record
W3 D4 L8. 13pts from 45
