Millwall will love it if we go for the cautious approach, sit back and knock it about amongst our back 6.
We need some attacking intent from the off. Get it up ‘em. Show them zero respect and let them worry about us, rather than us building our game plan about stifling them.
Play in their half, make them terrified of making a mistake and get their defence facing other own goal.

Show them zero respect and let them worry about us, rather than us building our game plan about stifling them. Fuck that. Pick 3 CBs, 3 defensive midfielders and stick Koroma and Bergzorg up front. That’ll do the trick 👌😂 |

This current squad are a bunch of overpaid, weak, unfit set of individuals who are only bothered about themselves.
Show some professionalism, fight for each other & do what you're paid to do.
Entertain, win football matches & show some respect to the people that showed faith in you're ability to succeed & enjoy this privileged career.
Please prove me wrong. Our new onwer has big future plans.
Be a part of it, the winning starts tomorrow.

We are playing a home game that we really need to win against a side not much better than us so I think the chances of Koroma starting are pretty much a non starter.

Are we allowed to call it a must win yet?

All margin for error gone. Just keep chucking strikers on if we don’t score. Now or never.

Lose tomorrow after that Plymouth result and it’s almost curtains.
Not mathematically a must win but it’s as close as it can be to a must win.

Agree with bluebells comments, Nicholls response to most questions got really monotonous. IMO he was really trying to push the point forwards, but why. Not sure the squad are together or have bought into the manager. Hope I'm wrong but let's see what happens. UTT. Does seem a bit odd, like maybe they've got it in their heads that the fans aren't onside. Couldn't be further from the truth and if thats the kind of bollocks that they've got into their heads then it says a lot about the kind of characters in in the squad. Togetherness should be a given but the fact they're going on about it does unfortunately suggest it's not a harmonious camp or they're feeling sorry for themselves because a few fans give them shit on Twitter. |

I’ve just made up Matchday Chart No.41 for the pub tomorrow... (It’s something that I do in April onwards save for being on the beech at this time which simply doesn’t happen to Town very often at this stage in The Championship)...
And - The noose is tightening in and big time -
A lot of irrelevant games from a Town point of view tomorrow but the Matchday ain’t off to a good start at all...
Can Southampton win away at Blackburn - Who knows but I wouldn’t be that confident -
Can Leicester do us a big turn at home to Birmingham City - I’d like to think yes to that one...
I think QPR are definitely far enough away from us now and therefore I’ll be rooting for them at home to The Wendy’s -
WBA away to Stoke - Difficult to predict this one again, Stoke could Jam a draw which wouldn’t be exactly great but one can only prey for West Bromwich Albion (Sorry Chadders51 but desperate times mean desperate measures) ! 😉
And so to ourselves then - Well Millwall will be really smarting about last week at Rotherham although tonight I think we are all mightily pleased that The Miller’s kept them in the mix for sure (And commiserations to them tonight ) so they will definitely be up for writing last weeks wrong and we will need to be at it from the off to counteract this mindset that they will inevitably rock up with...
I think that we really need to win as a draw is almost the equivalent of a defeat in our precarious situation that we are in...
Will we pull off a much needed win - I really don’t have a scooby doo clue - But I’ll sleep on it tonight and see what the head and the heart thinks tomorrow and then give ma prediction (I did get it bang on last week with Stoke 1 Town 1) !

If memory serves we could be a point clear of the bottom three or five adrift of safety after tomorrow. So it IS a must win game.
No piss farting about. Miwaw will come to park the cab and try break on us.
Let’s go out fighting and try improve our goal difference with a win.
Radulovic starts, I think he scores.
2-0 Town.

This is about as must win a game can be without mathematically being a must win game.
Realistically if we don't win today, we're playing League One football next season. And probably a few seasons after that too. And even if we do win, we'll probably have to win a couple more, which may be beyond them.
I've really got doubts we're going to get out of this. I was initially impressed with Andre's CV but he's just isn't up to the task, that's clear as the matches have gone by, and the points dropped. The damage was already done though, he just hasn't had the ability or the players to pull us out.

The damage was already done though, he just hasn't had the ability or the players to pull us out. Completely wrong time for a manager like him. Dare I say it (and I didn't think it at the time) but I think Worthy would have had us on 44+ points now. If we do go down, I'd be confident if AB stayed, had a chance of getting his own players in etc. We just didn't need a manager who was brand new to English football, coming into a championship relegation battle and making the same shit mistakes we've seen time and time again from other foreign managers. We don't have the time for it. |

I was initially impressed with Andre but have been less so as the matches have gone by, and the points dropped. The damage was already done though, he just hasn't had the ability or the players to pull us out. Realistically if we don’t win we face League One in the face, as you say. However, we will not spend a period of more than two years in that division. Weaker sides than ours have gone down and straight back up. We’ll invest. The ownership will learn from the experience. If we go down, League One should be terrified of us. The last time we went down, we were financially a basketcase, then had years of underfunding. When the cavalry arrived, we had such a low base that it took more time than it would now. Plus, the period 2008-12 is as strong as League One has ever been, peaking in 2010. You had half-a-dozen Championship sides going for promotion in League One. It is telling that you had Norwich, Leeds, Southampton - all who had fallen on hard times and none of whom have looked even a remote possibility of dropping to that level in the 14 years since (13, in the case of Southampton). Last season was the only time since then that the division has been comparable with that period. And even then, two of three who came up have been unable to adjust to this division. At least one is highly likely to go straight back down having strengthened. If we strengthen, cut the deadwood, with an ownership who have learned the demands of English football, we’ll be hot favourites for the title straight away. No underlying reasons like last time for an extended stay. We just haven’t been very good. And if we start winning again, we’ll be very hard to stop at that level. Not to say I want to drop. Far from it. I said my expectations some time ago if we go down, and my expectations if we stay up. I expect to have a team that wins more than it loses in this division. Millwall will be a tough nut today. We need to be prepared to fight in a way we haven’t for some time. There has to be grit and guts there. And I expect there will be today. Rudoni being out is a blow, but a chance to do something else. I would play Healey if fit enough (although it sounds like he isn’t) as he is that bit spiker and more competitive. Otherwise, 4-3-3, Sorba and Burgzorg flanking Radulovic, midfield of Matos, Kasumu, Wiles. |

All i ask today is the players to show some desire and composure.
Can they please for once not panic when they get in the oppositions box.
My team
Nichols
Spencer helik pearson Headley
Kasumu matos
Thomas wiles Koroma
Bojan
One win every 5 games and we havent won for six so we are due a win today.

Sadly i think Huddersfield Town are the only relegation threatened team not showing enough survival fight at present
Stiil think getting rid of Warnock was the final nail in towns coffin and could prove a very costly mistake for those who got rid if relegated
Today v Millwall must be the start of one of the biggest fights in towns history and surely the fans deserve that

My main concern today, is how me duffing up my 280 day Wordle streak will affect our season…
Could today be a new start, or could it be someone signing before sealing our relegation?

Is it just me or does anyone else find Rudoni's inury suspicious? After 22 years of Saturday league football and countless hamstring injuries, both pulls and tears I can safely say its nigh on impossible to play with any kind of hamstring injury. It's like being snipered. This got me thinking a bit (not specific to Rudoni), could it actually be in the interest of some players to be relegated? Say for example a player has had their agent or even another club in their ear about a potential move, surely they could have the chance of a better wage negotiation if a relegation release clause is triggered or their current club is forced into a fire sale due to relegation. That was 100 per cent the case in the Premier League. To this day i don’t understand what happened with Lossl’s contract and how he ended up earning 52k a week at Everton. |

IF we win, a big if but the table will probably have a big reset and be back to just what it was like a few weeks ago with loads of teams trying to avoid the 2 trapdoor spaces.

We took over his Mainz contract, which had a year to run. He didn’t sign a new deal, which led to him leaving on a free. No relegation clause there. Nor with others, it has to be said - mostly end of contract. |

Biggest game of the season.
We simply have to win today.
Although been bottom in the form table for the last 6, I would think Millwall fancy this game to secure their Championship status

Simply not good enough. you mean that game our manager thought their was no point in going for the win? 😧 I’m not even nervous about today as I accepted relegation a few weeks back now when we couldn’t even force a serious shot on goal against the worst team In the division , if we stay up history tells me we’ll just be here again next season anyway, I’m more nervous about the lot in the board rooms next move. |

Hopefully Town will get the 3 points somehow today, if we can defend as a unit & not leave gaps to exploit (esp wide areas) then we should stop them scoring & nick one or two at the other end (fancy Pat Jones to bag)......Treble for what its worth, Town, SW & Cov @36/1 UTT.
