I think you'd have to be incredibly niave to beleive this was a 'lone wolf' and noone in the club (i.e the manager) knew about it... However, proving that is a different story all together. Much like if you believe we sent an intern with spying equipment mossad would be proud of, you're also a bit of an idiot. If i'm honest, I'm pretty impartial about it all. Whilst its a little bit embarrassing for the club and I think its an own goal as its apply a shit ton of pressure on us, i'd be amazed if this doesn't happen all the time. If, being completely honest, if you have a training on a public accessible golf course or a training ground with no cover but a hedge, you absolutely deserve it. If we have illegally broken into their training ground and hid in bushes etc, then I think i'd sway towards the outcry being more justified. What I cannot understand is how stupid the club have been to even get caught / let the breadcrumbs lead back to us so easily. Employ someone off books (or at least don't let them have a fucking linked-in account) so that if caught, "they're a memeber of the public filming becasue they're intrested". So long as they aren't on private property / broken in, absolutely nothing anyone can do. In a round about way, it sums up the incompetance of sports republic.

He has far too many flaws to make it at any decent level imo, the main one being he doesn't save anything. I honestly believe he'd be just as good at CB / full back than he is in goal.

Another fantastic bit of captancy by Ben Brown. The pitch looks a belter to bat on, especially in these conditions.

yeah, that'll teach me for not reading the post.

Wont make a difference. Last time Millwall were in a playoff final (2017) it was played at 3pm like every other year.

As soon as we failed to beat Bristol city, ipswich were always the likley ones to win the leauge. Even if we had won last night (instead of a draw), not much changes for them - they'd have to beat QPR on the final day, which given its at home, they absolutely will do... comfortably.

Yep. We've definitely been a worse side since he dropped out. I think yesterday was just a game too far, we looked dead on our feet and to be honest, ipswich were a good side. all in all, a great game of football.

Also threw in that he didn't bring his own staff. A shame noone reminded him that his previous assistant / brother has proven to be absolutely shite as well. Comfortably the worst manager we've had, pound for pound given resources, in many many years - if not ever.

yep, out of the 3, they have the easiest fixture. Which considering its Sheff Utd, is a pretty crazy thing to say.

Annoingly, this is now pretty much a must win for us if we want the home advantage in the play-offs. With that in mind, strongest side possible. I think all of April and Saturday will finally catch up with us and we'll get beat in this one.

It would be very, very 'saintsy' to lose a tuesday night game at home, against a mid-table side with nothing to play for.

Possibly not. WBA are due to face a points deduction which might keep it open until the very last game.

Piss poor, once again. I thought Albert done well and of course Lehmann carried the innings, again and the tail dug in (which is a sign of how good the pitch is). However, Gubbins isn't a 2, I'm not conviced Prest will ever make it in red ball, Brown isn't a 5, Yusuf is giving Brett Hampton a run for his money in the WTF overseas category. Destined the drop this season and deserve every part of it. Hopefully it see's off Giles White and Ben Brown.

I do also wonder if we will finally start to see the benefits of the 'multi-club model' In theory, Spors should have e2e remit now and can potentially spot players coming through the french leauges that might be of use to us in the future

For me, Larin starts more often than not. Not because I think hes the better player, but because playing stewart every week is incredibly high risk given his history. Both offer us something slightly different. Larin more physical, Stewart a bit better all round player. Exciting.

yeah update my orignal post

11 in all comps, 10 in the leauge both achieved in 2011. * We're currently on a 7 game winning run, 6 leauge 1 cup. *according to chatgpt **Looks like Mboto's answer was more accurate!

famous last words, but away from home ipswich are bang average.

They were all the chairmans fault, not his.

To be fair, I wouldn't disagree with any of those from a manager point of view, other than perhaps the fella at Boro - all punching above their weight being in the top 6. Nailed on for Lampard, but Neil and the geezer at Hull have done a brilliant job.

I don't disagree at all and tried to call that out in my final sentance. We were always going to fail in the PL under Martin which made the contract extension even werider (can only assume it was something previously agreed). With a couple of smart additions at LB, CB, right wing, CF - we'd have more than enough to compete to stay up.

Tough game. They're a decent, well coached side. As Blackburn will be on tuesday as well. However its worth pointing out that Derby have a few injuries, most recently confirmed Agyemang and will be without BBD, so it'll be a bit of a make shift forward line. That being said, we've played sides ravenged with injury before and it didn't work in our favour. The next 2 will be make or break if we want to make top 2.

The problem is, it'll be a total rebuild if we fail to go up. I'd still want to see how he performs for the first half of next season, whether that is in the PL or Championship. Both will present different, but equally as difficult challenges. We rushed in to giving Martin an extension and it came back to bite us on the arse. I would however say that I think Tonda would be much, more suited to the PL than we ever were under Martin and you'd like to think SR have learned how to build a PL side and wont make the same mistakes again.

If Sky Sports Plus - does that mean that its the god awful comms where they're not actually in the ground?

Other than Peretz, THB, Bree, Azaz & Scienza we can swap out anyone and be equally as strong - which given the fixture pile up, we'll have to do. Downes and Charles as a pair in the middle for me tonight. I'd probably start Larin, Fellows deserves another game. Scienza has to start, but we only tend to get 60 minutes from him anyway. Its then a toss up of Stephens or Wood, Manning or Wellington?
