No need to get another Right wing back in, Nathan asimwe is more than capable of nailing down that position. Plays with such maturity and calmness which belies his young age. Starts over egbo against orient for me.
Midfield looking very good...lots of movement, but they need to get CBT more into the game as he has got their right back shredded. Love May's all out effort and one touch for the second goal....hate bazball tactics at the back trying to give Millwall a way back into this.
Ok, now the burning question is do I reboot my laptop and try to log in for the second half, and risk jinxing us, or go and sort out my washing instead?
Why do we seem to be happy to play risky balls around our penalty area, but when coming forward if they see a player in front of them with a defender within 10 yards, they prefer to turn round and play it square or backwards? Surely it’s safer and potentially more damaging to the opposition to take a chance ten meters outside their area than ten meters outside ours?
Early days but Isted doesn't look great with his feet
Dean Kiely was rubbish with his feet and just about every keeper we have ever had. Ben Hamer did a good drop kick but got caught sometimes with his feet(Colchester at home 0-2 in 100+ season)
What's Isted like with his hands as I'm old fashion and believe that important for a keeper !
At least Kiely knew he was crap with his feet so just kicked long for touch every time. Isted is pretending to be a sweeper keeper and giving us kittens. Haven’t seen enough to answer re his hands.
And 20 years ago, nobody played out from the back. Not even the legends of the game like Schmeichel or Seaman were good with their feet, whereas now lots of teams are passing from the back and NEED a keeper comfortable with it.
That was a good performance, so many pluses! Fraser is top dollar, May is an irritant that is buzzing around them all the time, Anderson - what a young player he is! Kirk, CBT, Dobbo doing well. We still have Jones, Hector, Camara, Edun and Taylor (if he has signed) to come + another striker, this could be a very good season.

Watching a different game to me, thought he was generally quite poor
In the 2011 friendly at the Den (the season where we later went up as Champions), we also scored twice in the first half.
(Difference being in 2011, it was 3-2 to the home side at half time... so basically, we're gonna smash 120 points this season)
When we signed Morrison I thought we had a serious chance of promotion. I can't remember who else we had signed at that point but I started a thread on another forum called "We are going up as fucking champions"
When I went to the Millwall game and Powell played "his team" I knew we would be there or there abouts. When you think of "Powell's team" 8 of them started, Green came on at half time. Hamer replaced Elliott and then Yann joined.
This isn't "Holden's team" yet. I think Powell's team played 13 games together as an 11, Bowyer’s team never actually played.
Half of these won't be in the team your look back on in 3,4,5,10 years time.
TLDR: If we don't win the league we will be bloody close!
May looks a pain in the arse to mark, drops deep and makes intelligent runs across defenders, would like to see him up top in a 2 with someone in the Kermorgant mold
Can't Charlton declare now and go home. If Millwall wake up after we have pulled the Lion's tail it will be the Charlton crowd booing. This is promising that our reserves are playing so well 👏

As long as you're in the kitchen you can do whatever you like ( it's a joke SORRY )
