We will then face Fulham in the final.... and lose 3-0. I just think Fulham are too good. Millwall could and should have been 2 nil up after 20 mins on Friday. Fulham shit themselves and looked shit. Everyone scared of 12 year old sessenong or whatever.. shall I tell you how to make a 17 year old look crap? Attack him. I guarantee he isn't as good defending as he is attacking.. no 17 year old is an accomplished defender. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't go up, we can only blame ourselves. We also have Steve Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't been able to do it now because it hasn't been the plan. The plan in terms of the future is get in to the top flight and then take it from there. Maybe you misunderstood my concern. I wan't worried about the word "big." I was concerned about the word "if". IF we rebuild something stronger from a solid base then staying down a while might be OK. But there is no guarantee that staying down for a while WOULD result in building some stronger unified base for future growth. If it was at all likely, all the premiership teams would be looking to get relegated so they could rebuild and be stronger. That que is pretty short. (WBA maybe ) Reminder, this is your statement "Happy to stay in the league for several years if something big is built for the future. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say he was a winger x amount of times or a wingback x amount if times? I just said "he's been a wingback on a number of occasions". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t going to be playing left back or left wing back when we play them, so in the context of your first post it doesn’t really matter. It’s like saying the way to make Adomah look crap would be to attack him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw I generally agree. I dont get it though. We still have a slim chance of automatic promotion so playing the reserve team would rightfully get Bruce a lot of stick. So resting those players who have been visibly knackered but playing Grealish who is not seems pretty sensible to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
