Missed Gunnarson today

I like Bryson but in a 343 he was too lightweight for a big strong Millwall team. We simply got out powered in the middle.

Thought the switch to 4231 with Bamba and Ralls as the holders was far too late.

I thought what we really missed was somebody creative in the midfield and for all his qualities, Gunnar is not that man.

We needed to hold onto the ball for a few seconds so we could get the ball to our only dangermen NML and JH. If we got the ball we just aimlessly pumped it forward because we lost the physical battle in the middle of the park.

Yeah he's sitting on the bench and his name is Lee Tomlin.

I agree, if we’re talking about keeping the ball then Gunnarsson is not that man.
Warnock is very reluctant to change his team unless forced but surely he can see with our centre midfield, especially Ralls, there is not enough creativity?

If Gunnarson is the answer to our problems we're in trouble

Agree, gunnarson would not have tidied that performance up.
