@Venom_MFC Trouble with starting Ivanovic and Coburn is you get significantly weaker once you have make subs. I reckon Langstaff or Cundle in for Ivanovic exactly as you say.

@philclarke0170 @NewsAtDen @millwall2003100 There is logic in the idea that you don't want to have to thrust him in cold in a mega important game at the end of the season. But I still think it's the wrong decision - Max has been excellent. One mistake is however many games is not a reason to change.

@NewsAtDen @millwall2003100 He’s paid the big bucks to make the calls. Just got to back he’s got it right.

@Venom_MFC What rumours have you seen?

@JPMillwall2 Not sure we can upgrade on Crama at RB. If there is a young RB we can sign like Sturge than yes. We need another striker in addition to keeping Langstaff IMO. Don't think we need a GK tbf or a LW, we have Ballo, Emakhu and Doughty as options.

‘We don’t need to sign anyone, we’ve got players coming back’ What’s to stop half our squad getting injured again? Still need a right back, DEFINITELY need another striker (loan out/sell Langstaff). And a left winger. Ideally a GK too. Minimum

@SwansAnalytics Would Crama make the cut for the RB dataset now? Keen to see where he ranks

@_Frank_Young_ We can on our advanced profiles that filter by position but he doesn't have the minimum amount of minutes at RB yet to profile him as a full back. Here's his CB profile using his full minutes this season

@louorns Would Crama make the cut for the RB dataset now? Keen to see where he ranks

@_Frank_Young_ Capped at certain minutes played for a position which will be why he’s not in the data set

Championship fullback/wingbacks this season | open play chance creation

@HullCityItalian The law was updated in May 2024. That penalty was given in April 2023. The Cooper block was August 2024.

@_Frank_Young_ This was given as a pen, in the Champions League Quarter Final and Cooper's arm is way more widened than Tomori's. Not because it's his supporting arm he can stretch for 10 cm.

Mmmm raises a few questions for the PGMOL that…

@HullCityItalian @philclarke0170 FYI this is not handball

@philclarke0170 No one debates that it was a yellow but look at last year, Hull City v Millwall, the most blatant pen I've ever seen not given, that could have raised some questions to the PGMOL too. Every team, unfortunately, have to face these rubbish refs

@louorns Yeah I reckon Leonard has just made the cut and Crama has just missed out, in a few games he'll probably be in the data set. Be interested to see how he stacks up against other full backs.

@philclarke0170 He's not really delaying the restart of play there is he, he's running off to celebrate. The other one was definitely delaying the restart of play.

If we’re talking kicking the ball away, does this count? I mean the ref did absolutely nothing and was staring straight at Joseph after scoring his second as he did it. He actually booted the ball out of the stands.

@_jonnyb1 Should chart the change in position with a dotted line - would be a nice addition!

@SwansAnalytics Surprised by that he has played a lot of games since January at RB! What's the minimum minutes?

@louorns Could you add Tristan Crama for the games he has played RB? Eye test would say he should be in the upper right quadrant but not sure if data backs that up

Updated plot of championship fullbacks/wingbacks for defensive and attacking score

@RaatjeFC Scored plenty from corners. Little chipped/inside curler to the player just in front of the GK. Got to start the cross a bit further out so it just curls into him before it reaches the GK. Get it wrong and GK catches it, get it right and often a free header from 6 yards

Anyone else still find corners absolutely useless in Career Mode? 😬

@MillwallPoll At the moment RBW until Neghli shows more consistently what we know he can do in sub appearances.

🚨New Millwall Poll‼️ It looks like Camiel Neghli and Ra’ees Bangura-Williams are both competing for that right-side spot. If you had to choose just one, who gets your vote? Vote and comment below. 👇 #Millwall 🦁

@philclarke0170 Had RBW broke through when we bought both of them? Regardless shift to 4 2 3 1 & we will use two of them, one as the 10 & one as a RM who drifts in and I think that could make us much more dangerous (Coburn & Ivanovic haven't been offering much threat). Cundle and RBW for me.

@_Frank_Young_ Probably true. Let’s see if we move to a system where we use a 10 outright. Point is valid tho to spend 4m on 10’s and not really play that way is mad. Esp when we have RBW in the building who will goon to be sold for a bigger fee than cundle or Neghli

Looking at our squad rebuild.. Cundle 500-1m Neghli 3m Almost 4m on 10’s when we don’t play a system that uses a 10 😂😂 3m on a centre back that isn’t an immediate starter.

@philclarke0170 Both valid points. It's an issue much better teams than us have struggled with, transitioning from in possession positioning to out of possession positioning. I think the missing players are forcing us to go long more and that's compounded the problems and making us even worse.

@_Frank_Young_ Issue is to be a 10 in possession and wide out of possession needs great athleticism and pace to cover the ground and I’m not convinced he offers that. Equally how does it work when we go long majority of the time?

@philclarke0170 Big problem is we're not keeping the ball well enough to get players into those optimal positions to create dangerous chances. Having Billy and CDN back in the midfield and the Crama out on the right would improve things immediately.

@philclarke0170 That's a seperate debate (although I agree it's not working well at the moment). Just frustrating that people keep saying "Neghli isn't a winger" and "we need to play a 10" because 1 he's not meant to be and 2 we do in possession. He played on the right drifting in for Rotterdam.
