1-1.

Millwall deserved that 1-1.

Need to get to half time and sort this out.

Bamba is no defender and has been absolute garbage tonight!

Millwall look dangerous with their front 2

Shit, after a good start we’ve fallen apart. Mendez Liang needs to get subbed, he’s absolutely terrible. He’s even tackling himself.

He’s a shadow of the player back at the start of the season.

You could see Millwall scoring

bamba not having a great game. NML just very poor.

Grujic has done nothing for me in any of the games he's playing in, for me isn't passionate enough and not a player that will gel with us.

Millwall look miles better than us

NW will change Gamba from man marking Morrison. At present Steve Morrison is m of m. Maybe Bamba is struggling with flu, but having a 'mare!

We are making Steve Morison look like Harry Kane ffs

Doing what we do best and give them to much space top end of pitch! Goal came from this.

Thought grujic has been our best player, can't see how anyone can single him out. He's broken up play and at least tried to play the ball, ralls on the other hand has been invisible.

Already posted that NML and Bennett have been hopeless, should be some changes at half time.
