we was all in the pub at Clapham Junction ,walked in and there was about 25 geezers in there ,flat caps ,CP Company and Stone Islanded up ! All aged 50 to 60 , to be fair ,we got chatting to them ,and they were fine , a lot of trips to the toilets and they were charged up , but my pals arn`t angels either ! They all had a bit of respect for Rangers as a club ,even though they thought we ,as South Londoners were a bit strange supporting the R`s !
Suppose as we are all in our 50s , we havn`t got too much to prove any more !

We were supposed to have strong bench this season but then we substitute Thomas on.

Had to laugh at some of the Millwall fans going down Uxbridge road before kick off. There was a group of them, all around 5 and half foot tall, wearing peaky blinders caps and giving it large outside nisa shop. I stared down one of the dwarf cants and just mumbled, on your own, son. Gone are the 80s houlies, they are all short legged muppet characterS now. A pathetic tribe They were kicking the shit out of kids down Uxbridge Road after the game. Fucking wankers, with their height, all they can do is have a pop at kids. Fucking dwarf cants |

fighting over football is one of the most cringey things people can do lol.
millwall especially as they're so enamored with it. can you imagine what it'd be like if people fought for their favourite TV shows instead? bunch of mid 50s blokes shouting about how rupaul's drag race is superior to every other show

We were supposed to have strong bench this season but then we substitute Thomas on. Johansen not yet fully fit. Chair and Field out. Ball having to start. It certainly showed. Probably did well to get a point in the end against a strong, albeit very dirty, Millwall side. |

I came out of Ladbrokes and walked into Millwall escort..." Where's ya firm" was the first thing I heard , did make me smile

I know if we were 20 or 30 years younger it would have got very messy ! |

Ok only a couple of friendlies and one game in but up front could cost us this season. Create for Charlie and he’ll put it in the net but to be really honest he can’t do much else now and yesterday was Dykes mark 1 - and we don’t want to wait until Christmas before he comes good again. If Charlie isn’t a 90 min man this season we need another option, not just Dykes. I never thought I’d prefer one up but Charlie with Willock and Chair performing has looked best option so far.

yesterday was Dykes mark 1 Pity. His confidence was sky high until his Scotland games at the Euros 😂 In all seriousness though, far too early to judge after one game, and he did have a decent pre-season. |

Far too early to judge dykes after 1 game. No one was at the races yesterday apart from dickie. Lots of players gave the ball away. Very poor service to the two front lads in general. First game for a lot of those lads in front of a full house and that, I can imagine would create quite a nervous atmosphere. Johanson clearly wasn’t up to speed either don’t see him getting much criticism? Pre season and proper match fitness are very different things. Millwall would have known all of the above and teams are going to up their game against us this season especially at hq and that’s something we are going to have to deal with.

Amos or field beside Johansen instead of Ball and we are strong in the centre. Ball was defo weak link
I personally think Dieng has looked bit jittery Pre season and yesterday Looks edgy might be fact he’s playing in front of a crowd
Personally thought yesterday was decent point. Millwall are a decent well organised championship side. They put it on us first 20mins but we fought back. Second half was none event both sides.
Dickies mom by some distance followed by Willock
We improve with Chairs return as the link up work between him and willock is superb they attack as a pack

Giving the ball away far more often than usual, which is always a sign of nerves. Having played an entire season behind closed doors it would have been quite a shock to the system for some of the players. It would have been good experience for them and this can only improve. Get the rest of our players back and I think we're in for a good season. |

Once we settle down we’re in for a good year. Make no mistakes, Millwall are nobody’s mugs |

Maybe I’m a bit odd expecting a striker to threaten the goal at least once in a game then. Isn't that often the way with strikers though? They can be anonymous all game, then BANG, a goal out of nowhere. They're quite a unique breed in that regard. Anyway, no doubt Rscot will re-surface as soon as he gets off the mark 😂 |

Yeah, fair enough. Maybe I should have said ‘look threatening’. Hardly noticed he was there.

It was a decent point yesterday against a team who imo will easily be top 10 pushing for playoffs as well.
In the end, they were holding on and if anyone was going to win it it was us. There are levels In this league and I still think with our best 11 we will beat most teams.
Chair was a miss as he offers something different. Willock is going to cause havoc on this league especially against the weaker teams.
Still very positive and think we’ll pick up the three points against Hull next week.

We need to go back to 1 up front. Yesterday millwall controlled the midfield, we looked well short in the middle of the pitch.

Just seen that Jed Wallace is in the last year of his deal and doesn't want to sign a new one. He'd be a half decent signing.

Doubt he'd cost much either Stan. I'd imagine Millwall will be keen to get something for him rather than lose him for nothing at the end of the season.
