Downsouth 6,327 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Very encouraging first half by Boro circumstances aside poor defending to allow the equaliser but it has been very interesting. We need to find more energy in the second half to push on. Certainly see a red card in this game Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,942 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Obviously not watching, but our pass %, long ball %, possession, chances created and xg all look a lot better. Is it reflected in the eye test? Link to post Share on other sites

boro-unger 3,870 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Would have been a cracking half if it wasn't for that diabolical decision by the ref. Clear foul by the last man. Ignoring his linesman who flagged straight away. Shocking. Hope his linesman smacks him with his flag. Apart from that we've looked a better team going forwards. Pretty much everything positive has gone through Watmore. His fancy footwork for the goal was great. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,320 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Well that was shaping up to be a decent first half until the ref lost the plot. No way Millwall deserve to be on level terms. Missed the first 15 minutes or so, but from what I've seen we seem better organised, quicker and more decisive going forward. Link-up play is better - we can actually find our forwards now. Quality of chances we create could still use some work though. In open play we seem okay defensively too and work hard to win the ball back. But very suspect when it comes to corners and free kicks. An okay start to the Wilder regime that would be a lot better if we had a competent ref. That complete and total fuckwit needs to do a season in the National League. Not fit to wear the shirt at Championship level (or League 1or 2 for that matter). Edited November 20, 2021 by AnglianRed Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,642 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Thoroughly enjoyed that half even with the diabolical decision, I thought it was very entertaining. Just writing that down in case we're robbed in the second half and I lose my head. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I feel this is the football Warnock was wanting to play all along it just clicked a few weeks after he left 😏🤔. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
sackrobson2 371 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Got to be said that their equaliser was incredibly unlucky from our point of view. At least one terrible referee decision, possibly two, then about 3 deflections on the shot. We definitely deserve to be leading at half time. I thought it was so much more enjoyable to watch than anything I recall under Colin. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar Rioja 5,976 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Very enjoyable and great to watch until Oliver Langford lost the plot and now looks like an accident waiting to happen running headless around in a black shirt. Hopefully he clears his head at half time because he just looks punch drunk which considering the hits Paddy took to the head takes some doing! Link to post Share on other sites
