Strange formation. Must be pumping up to Smith. No Bright again, that’s even stranger, been our best player for weeks imo.
Let’s see what Eustace made of, really hope I’m wrong but don’t see us getting a point tonight.
Please Rangers put a bit of effort in, your better than this.

No defender on the bench. Presumably Bidwell and Rangel are injured? No wide players, yet Smith up top. Manning at left back Well we could not have predicted that one!

A point closer to safety 👍 Deserved three points Smith ran himself into the ground - hope he can recover for Saturday - Bright’s pace impressed in last half hour

A good point,loss for Wigan and Rotherham, annoying point for Reading but overall gained a point on two and stayed the same with other two. what a turn around. Let’s get that final win against Swansea or Blackburn and end this .

Woken up and kind of feel like we have made it to the play offs yet we just scrapped for a point. Onwards to Saturday, then 3 games in 9 days, by Easter Monday we will probably know what league we will be playing in for sure.
Had we just beaten Rotherham we would be 12 points in front of them with 5 games to go and it would have been gameover .....

First off great relief that we got a point. More relief that Millwall were so poor. Why do they set up with Gregory so isolated? We were the better side, but as time went on I could just see us conceding a daft late goal again. So the greatest relief is that we didn't. But on to the positives. First off, credit where it was due - Eustace clearly had a plan for the game and we stuck to it. Smith had a good game in attack and defence - we have missed his strong points - but if only he had a better conversion rate. It was a brave decision to leave out Rangel - but I thought he was poor at Norwich and Furlong deserved to start ahead of him - and played well. Hands up - I had forgotten that Manning can play left back - but if we were not going to chance Rangel on the left then Eustace was pretty short on alternatives - but playing 2 full backs who will be here next season was a good decision. Manning playing well was just the cherry on that cake - he deserves to start on Saturday. Starting with Wells ahead of BOS is a frustration but probably the right decision (experience of Millwall) and given that he brought Bright on and he did well - another positive. At home on Saturday he could start BOS and bring Wells on later. Cameron played much better than at Norwich Luongo and Scowen outworked a busy Millwall midfield. We have missed Luongo playing in that advanced position. 2 negatives for me though 1) Our conversion rate in front of goal 2) Lynch - not his tight marking of Gregory and the potential red card - that was a tight call - but Gregory was always likely to draw a yellow card out of Lynch so why mouth off and get a card for confronting the linesman - so stupid. At half time I thought that the game was going to be decided by the officials after 5 early bookings. But in the second half we dropped the tight marking and the risk was far less. If that was down to Eaustace then well done. If it was down to Lynch, then he does have a brain. But what an incredible evening regarding the other games. The other teams winning at half time seemed incredible - but thankfully.............

Thank you Ricky.
I wass out playing Bridge last night so I've only seen the Sky highlights.
I'm very pleased rthat we won a point & that we only started three players that are not under contract for next season.
We have a very difficult game on Saturday, but hopefully we will get at least a point. However, defeat wouldn't mean that we are relegated! The Blackburn & Forest matches are certainly easier, in theory, than Swansea.

The other teams winning at half time seemed incredible - but thankfully............. Yeah, agree with all that. Just a big relief. There were moments where how poor Millwall were just shone through and I wanted us to get at them a bit more but I can understand why we didn't. Conversion rate from Smith is still a big frustration. Think he broadly played alright, worked really hard, got crawled over by the Millwall defence while rarely getting a foul his way (classic), was an asset at the back for set pieces...but my god you'd hope he'd put more chances away. You feel like he needs four good attempts at similar chances before he has a chance of actually scoring. I still cannot fathom why BOS doesn't start. Even when nothing comes off it, he almost always accelerates passed his man, stays strong (his league one experience shines through I think), and gets a ball into the box or a shot off. Categorically more dangerous with him on the field. But yeah, minor in the grand scheme of things. An away point, results going our way and a clean sheet.
