@philclarke0170@Greatest1343329 We were too squeaky to pay the £3m fee for Cresswell. I heard Ballard has a knee issue which made us hesitant to invest
A thought experiment.
A white British boy is found guilty of stabbing to death a black British boy.
The police handcuff the black British boy when he is bleeding out and dying.
They refuse to try & save his life. His last words are: “I can’t breathe”.
The police later issue a weak apology.
But no heads roll.
Nobody is sacked.
The police body cam footage is not released.
Now ask yourself:
What would Keir Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Sadiq Khan, Jess Phillips and countless other MPs and celebrities be doing right now?
We know exactly what they would be doing.
They would be protesting. Marching. Screaming. Demanding the footage be released.
And dropping one video and statement after another on social media.
Now have a look around at what they are all doing about the Henry Nowak case.
And that is exactly why millions of British people talk about “two-tier Britain”.
A big summer window ahead as we’re no doubt bracing for offers on Azeez and Crama. Even without them leaving, we need a left winger, centre back cover, right back cover. A centre midfielder who can pop up with goals.
I think holes in the squad cost Millwall promotion in the end. The centre back situation was baffling. Leonard & McNamara are not good enough to get in any other top 6 squad and we relied on them to cover Crama.
The left hand side was a problem all season. Nobody nailed a permanent spot either at LB or LW - either through injury or form. Sturge, Doughty, Bryan, Neghli, Emakhu, Ballo, Watson. Not good enough over the full season, despite Sturge finishing strongly.
@HobbsStu@Venom_MFC@Dan_Wall06 He trips over his feet, has some outrageously poor passes in his locker, has no pace, and doesn’t contribute offensively. He’s captain but you don’t hear a peep on the pitch. His one attribute is winning aerial battles but that’s to be expected as he is 6 foot 7!
@philclarke0170@whitcher_j38836 Cooper is done, for me. He is useful in the air defensively, but that is it. Cumbersome in possession and I don’t see any leadership qualities in him. Seems to flap too often when he needs to set the tone.
@stevedono9 Poor recruitment to have to rely on Leonard or D Mac. Neither of them get in anyone else’s side, let alone a team 1pt off automatic promotion!
@BL10CBL He can’t start next season. He’s not a leader either. He looks visibly shaky any time there is a big occasion. How many times did he trip over his own feet in the first leg alone?
@JPrentice8@JPMillwall2@itfc_louis2 Hilarious to think that you finished 1pt above us in the league (with a tonne of help from refs to even manage it) and you believe WE would be the ones to break Derby’s low points record? What gives you the confidence🤣
