To be fair, I think quite a few of us ‘boo’ boys have commented on it. His silly punch did lead to a great attack tho! FWIW just because I don’t rate Roos doesn’t mean I rate Hamer. I just think he’s less dodgy on crosses. Also he made some very good long passes against Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what we will do with Carson when/if he comes back. He is painfully slow with distribution but if we are playing out from the back nice and easy it might suit Cocu ball. And he has great hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoetheRam Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Forest players tested negative for Coronavirus (shame), so guess that means Millwall players won't have it either (unless they met the chairman). Game probably will go ahead it seems to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archied Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The way the game is now would we be better finding a player to turn into a keeper rather than trying to turn keepers into players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thinking... It may be the only position Rooney will be able to play next season when we have Bird, Shinnie, Holmes, Knight and Sibley fighting for the 3 positions in midfield.

A better problem to have, I think. We can have midfielders on the bench that can change game plans if things aren’t working out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Same team for me, no need to change anything after one of the best performances of the season: Hamer Bogle Wisdom Clarke Forsyth Shinnie Bird Waghorn Sibley Knight Martin Goes without saying we need to be winning this game to keep our season alive. Hopefully we can go there and get a nice, efficient win, and we can all go home happy. It should be possible, but Millwall are a tricky team. We all know Rowett is the ultimate poohouse merchant, so if we allow them to do what they do best, then we’ll be in real danger. On the other hand, we also know Rowett is quite heavily reliant on playing on the counter - if we can somehow restrict their chances in that respect, then we stand a decent chance. Especially if we get the first goal - I seem to remember under Rowett we almost always won it we scored first, and almost always lost if we conceded first. We absolutely HAVE to come out flying and get the first goal, that is absolutely vital Imo. Rowett ain’t thick either, he’ll know our weaknesses on crosses. We really need to make sure we’ve been practicing defending/stopping them all week, and we need to make sure we’ve got enough men tracking back as well to cope with their overload in wide areas - especially focusing on doing everything we can to stop Wallace having any impact, he’s some player. Gotta be prepared for the hoofball that is undoubtedly coming as well, need to be making sure we’re winning those headers in and around the box. I want to see us go out like our season depends on it - because it does, simply put. I want to see that high energy pressing that we saw at Wednesday when they’re in possession to try and force the errors, and also closing them down in our half so they don’t even get a second of free time and space to do anything. Do all of that, and remain calm and play our natural possession based game, and hopefully we will stand a decent chance. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he's fully fit, I'd swap him for Knight. Better to have Holmes out wide than on the bench. Then again, Lawrence will probably be back soon...

The squad will be looked at in training plus in relation to any specific tactic or individuals the management think will be a particular threat. Its a squad game from Phillip Cocus point of view. Don't be disappointed if Rooney & Lawrence come in for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t help but feel maybe Lawrence should be coming off the bench instead, but I may be proven wrong. No one really deserves to be dropped, including him for his form before his injury. Tough call for Cocu, but I do expect both will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree no one deserves to be dropped - But I like Cocu's approach of bringing in the 'right players for the job' (at least in theory) Milwall away you want seasoned pros - People who are gonna be less intimidated by the crowd and can deal with Rowett-ball done by a side well know for being hard and ruthless - I know young players have to experience Milwall away at some point, but would rather it wasn't quite so early when they're probably all on a high All the big lads at the back for me (Wisdom, Davies, Clarke, Fozzy), experience in the middle (Shinnie and Rooney) and up top (Waggers, Martin, Lawrence) - Then toss up between Bird (for the talent) or Evans (to protect Bird) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
