As the song continues, temptations on his way. You look at the form table, see Millwall struggling and think to yourself 'you know what, we can win this'.
The thing about new managerial bounces is that gravity eventually kicks in and you revert back to the level you should have been at all along. We won three in a row, but the feel good factor is beginning to wear off. We should have earned more than one point from our last three outings, but didn't. Gravity is holding us back from our desired ascent up the table. We cannot score as often as we need to, as we don't have (m)any natural goalscorers on the team. Pot shots from 60
yards don't usually result in goals.
So what's going to happen against Millwall? There won't be many goals scored in this one. I think we'll continue to frustrate ourselves and will fail to score, but will suffer from another momentary lapse of
concentration in defence and will lose 1-0. |  | | |  |

Kakay costs us yet another goal with a strong assist from Clarke-Salter who sees Bradshaw behind him and still doesn’t bother intercepting it.
Got what we deserved though with this embarrassing lineup and gameplan. | | | |

If we don't win today we're going down
Millwall are an AWFUL team. If we can't beat them than we won't stay up | | | |

No surprise to see it coming from an attack down our right hand side. Time to play the clown music.
And what a stupid time to concede a goal right on the stroke of half time following our best spell in the game. |  | | |

Think this was again going backwards from a free kick. Every time we win the ball there are no options going forward so we go back and put ourselves under pressure from the high press. |  |

What a toothless performance. I can't believe how weak some of these players are, both physically and mentally. | | | |

Why was it Kakay fault??? | | | |

Disgraceful goal to give away. So frustrating.
Zero bravery on the ball. For this style to work you have to be willing to constantly be moving to find spaces, take the ball on the half turn, and pass it forward. None of which we appear to be capable of in this game (though we have done it with more success in others).
So far, so pathetic. | | | |

That was a horrible, especially in a game that hasn't had much in the way of chances. We got caught out close to goal, and they had men over on the back post. |  |

We are on such a poor run against the bottom teams around us. That was mickey mouse defending. | | | |

Not by much. Two poorish sides who look like where they are. Pretty turgid Champ fare. Dykes is pointless and needs to be hooked at h/t. |
Dykes has been completely isolated. Chair and Smyth staying very wide so that our only option is Begovic to JCS to Begovic to Dunne.
Very poor game between 2 crappy Championship teams. |  |

There is something almost comforting about our return to normal. No need to worry about hope anymore. Five knuckle shufflers the lot of them. | | | |

All Kakay's fault, everything is Kakay's fault. |
He tracked a man who was way offside and left half a pitch open for them. Even then there were 4 defenders between their 2 forwards.
It was the 3rd time I counted we gave it away in midfield and invited the counter attack. Playing from the back but no one in the middle is turning and moving forward, no width, nothing in the middle.
I want to believe we can get something out of this but I just can't see it. | | | |

as mentioned previously this really reminds me of London derbies i used to attend... At this point I'd be saying "well the manager will be giving them the hair dryer now and we are going to see a completely different performance in the 2nd half" .... then the 2nd half kicks off and after a couple of minutes I'm thinking 'shall we just go home'? |  | | |
