& Oxford drop more than most….

Stoke fans saw through him a lot sooner than some of ours, and their management team have clearly done the same. It was obvious when he was dropped in his first season, that he was pony. I suppose giving him the benefit of the doubt & thinking he’d be ok the following season, wasn’t too outrageous. However, he was pony that season, got injured and then was pony on loan, so it beggars belief we tried again this season. A combination of him being pony again, and seeing with their own eyes how much better a proper keeper is, added to the fact he’s been pony on loan again, must mean he’s run out of chances, surely. He’s not good enough to be a number 2 at championship level, let alone Premier league level. If he’s back here next season it will be because we can’t find a mug to palm him off to, even on loan. That doesn’t give him the right to be number 2, and he hasn’t earnt that right. We can pick up a decent number 2 for peanuts, and although “you pay peanuts you get monkeys”, this would still be an upgrade on Baz. I used to post on here that no other championship side would want him in nets, and that was absolutely right. I’m now pretty confident no championship side would want him as their number 2. Neither should we….

There’s a reason the higher finishing team gets the home leg second, because it gives them a slight advantage…

Fucking good job they didn’t win, wasn’t it?

Superb performance, proper defending & tactics. I don’t get the criticism of Fellows he worked his socks off defensively & helped Bree out massively. Wellington was brilliant for me, not really played much & Leo isn’t great defensively, so he could have been exposed but wasn’t. Jander our best player, but the centre halves ran him close. Scored too early really, 10 mins a fucking long time to hang on against them. The fact they had to bring all the big guns on to get it over the line speaks volumes for our players & manager.

Personally, I can’t see it now. In some ways confirmation tomorrow makes it easier for us. Can go hell for leather at Wembley, then manage the players in the last 2. Rotate a few, rest a couple, prepare for the play offs. Rather that than push players to the brink next week and ultimately fail. Just keep us ticking over and we”ll be fully ready for the play offs.

Ipswich need 4 points, QPR home is a gimme, so they need a point tomorrow to make our game pretty irrelevant. WBA need a draw to ensure safety. I know what result my moneys on from WBA Ipswich…

It’s gone. There’s no chance Millwall won’t beat Oxford at The Den if a win takes them up, zero bloody chance.

Don’t be soft, they’ll go straight back up. Just like West Ham & Newcastle have done the past 10 or so years.

The only red card offences which carry a one game ban are. DOGSO, handball and 2 yellow card offences . It was none of those. If you think he deserved a red card, the only punishment is a 3 game ban.

He’ll make a decent living out of football if he wants. My son in law played a handful of league one games and is still earning decent money, over 70k a year at 32. Some good money lower down the pyramid, some coaching at youth level, and a couple of bits with a half term camp sort of thing. He was nowhere near the level Baz played at, but is dedicated to not get a “proper job”. I guess the difference is how badly does Baz want to stay in the game, will he play step 2 or 3, or do one to one training with some spotty kid, move abroad, maybe get into being a goalkeeping agent. His CV is far better than some other blokes making a living outside the top 4 leagues.

He’s done, no doubt about it. We’ve had The New Statesmen, Guardian, even Kevin Mcquire ffs, receiving briefings left right and centre, so it’s not just the Tim Shipman’s of the world. Senior Labour officials, civil servants, MP’s and members of the cabinet. Amongst the assorted quotes. ”It’s worse than the worst of Boris Johnson” “People can now see he’s not a decent & honourable man” ”If there weren’t local elections coming up, he’d have gone this week”. “He’s too arrogant to realise” Many are asking why Robbins was sacked if the process was followed (as Starmer claims), the Home Secretary allegedly challenged Sir Kier to his face with this point at Cabinet meeting (conveniently leaked). And according to Shipman, Robbins is looking at a 7 figure payout because Starmers handled it so badly, and the cabinet are spitting feathers. Good luck with selling that cost to the tax payer on the doorstep. And good luck with holding back anymore damaging leaks. Another New Broom needed, this one’s a dud….

There are t too many defending him after a handful of games, we had people doing that after putting up with the clown for 3 years. This bloke sums it up. That's the thing about Bazunu, though. He's not making 'mistakes'. He just doesn't have any ability. It’s not just his failure to stop shots, the defence in front of him are also completely in disarray, presumably because he doesnt organise them, nor does he inspire any confidence in them. Taylor-Harwood Bellis has an England international cap, and is a great defender at this level, but he looked all at sea when Bazunu is in goal. Look at Bazunu's positioning yesterday for all three of Millwall's goals yesterday. He never looks close to saving any of them, and looks terrified whenever the opposition get near him.

I think Millwall will shit the bed at Wembley. We will take them apart. Ipswich, I’m not so sure, they’re well beatable, but they’ve had a bit of success the past 3 or 4 years, so as a club will handle it a bit better imo. The ideal scenario is Hull pulling off a surprise in the semi and knocking out the third placed side (unless it’s us of course).

They should get the old band back together, Lego, Baz, Airbo & Rodwell. They’d piss league 1
