' DON'T THINK ANYONE EXPECTED THAT '

We were outfought and outmuscled by Millwall today, they were too physical for us and we didn't cope with their in your face approach at all.

We didn't make any good use of our wingers, very little creativity on offer.

Losing a game of football hurts but it is the manner of the defeat that needs to be analysed and the sad truth is we deserved nothing from the game overall despite having a decent first twenty minutes.

Apart from those twenty minutes and the last few minutes we really were poor for the majority of the game.

When Noone shot, I thought his effort was going in but when Forde saved and the ball fell to Le Fondre we were celebrating what should have been the inevitable, how did he not score ?

From the view we had I thought Marshall fell over one of our players feet and was not fouled, which fans were shouting for when Millwall scored.

We know from our previous two games that our team is better than what we saw today and I expect we will see a reaction that betters today's performance.

Holloway got the better of Slade today, he had his team set up to bully us and press us every time we had the ball and we went for the long ball route yet their Centre Halves were eating up everything we launched at them.

Approximately 850 City fans were in the stadium and fair play we were in good voice for the majority of the game.

Our coaches were held back for 45 minutes after the game and the feeling on this coach is very down.

is bound to be a better tactician than Slade, as he is way more an experienced manager at the highest level , let alone lower the league football that we play in

Meant to say Ian Holloway !!!

I've had a bad feeling about facing millwall all season.

we've gone to the other extreme now and Slade needs to realise that at this level you need to have something to surprise the opposition manager tactically in every next match or you're going to get found out fast.

we were in it for the first 30 mins. It just shows we haven't got the bench at the moment. Ralls maybe ( a big doubt) gives us cover for Whitts, but not for the grunt stuff. I guess Adeyemi and Digachoi are ahead of him in the pecking order and there may be games like today when Whitts is on the bench if Adeyemi and Digachoi are fully fit....

Just because millwall bullied us doesn't mean holloway is a better tactician than slade. Slade doesn't have the players in midfield to cope with such tactics, especially once gunnar went off.

99 times out of a hundred that's a foul on the keeper - but agreed it was a poor performance.

I have analysed Marshall quite a bit over the past few games and even told one of the coaching staff, but Marshall's positioning at corners in particular is very poor, he will always stand behind the centre forward - why? your at a disadvantage! He has never commanded his box and very rarely comes off his line, this is the difference between Marshall being good and great.
