Millwall v Leeds Utd Match Thread - UNCUT VERSION

[DDB220]

Ayling was brilliant today - this is why he plays. We all know he makes the odd mistake but the haters will find it hard to give him the credit he deserves more often than not.

Ayling was brilliant today - this is why he plays. We all know he makes the odd mistake but the haters will find it hard to give him the credit he deserves more often than not.

Because he knows he has to fight for his place now. He was very good today, but needs to stop falling over, as refs aren't falling for it, and it's embarrassing at his age.

[Boo Radley]

It all feels a bit surreal. A fine controlled performance, good goals, clean sheet, and the strength of the squad beginning to show in a horrible venue for us.

Delighted for Rutter.

Ampadu is class.

[LeedsandtheBadSeeds]

No, James’ part in it was the comedy part

Strongly disagree with you, he knew where Oiroe was, he still controlled his feet

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Aside from a great away win, I'm most encouraged by the steady progression. Match by match we're steadily improving both the performances and results.

[Cjay]

Great performance all round.

Most impressed with how defensively organised we were.

Meslier had a few routine saves and did fairly well with the aerial bombardment

Ampadu was immense in front of Rodon and Struijk who did their jobs well.

Ayling was diligent in his defensive work and got forward well at the right moments.

Byram combined well.

Ampadu and Gray did a great job mopping up any Millwall breaks.

Rutter was immense, strong, hard working, technically good when he needed.

Piroe looked much better today and took his goals well.

And Summerville and Gnonto were a threat but more importantly did their defensive duty which was vital.

Great away performance.

[DDB220]

Great win - golf back on, then F1 and rugby WC - happy days

[Cjay]

If some of our players could stop falling over though that'd be grand . . . . . . .

A true total team effort. Hard to find fault anywhere on the pitch.

Nah we need to save some for Weds, as QPR will park the bus

QPR can park the bus all they want, as we are playing Hull!!

Give him credit for his Walrus moment after he lost his balance. Cheeky header, belly block and a timely clearance played a part in getting the first goal.
We have a few players who go to ground looking for a free kick. Depends on the ref to a certain degree. But they need to adjust their natural going to ground instinct as they will get nothing more often than not nowadays.
I thought todays official did well. He wasn’t getting his cards out of his pocket unless there was an amputation.

Rutter was tripped when through on goal just before HT, and it wasn't given because of his ridiculous dive ten mins before

Good observation. Progress being made.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Good all round display

[SG90]

Thanks to Bournemouth for poaching Max Aarons, as we got Piroe AND Spence instead

[Tyzy]

Didn't see the game but a brilliant win away from home,well done boys

[John in Louisiana]

Take it from someone who's been there: sort of hard not to do at his age.

[foxy]

So nice to watch a match and not feel stressed other than the first 5 minutes and whenever meslier fancies himself as a footballer. A good controlled performance and so nice to have players on the bench who are quality at this level and could change games when we need them. The number of games in this league makes a strong squad so important. Best not get too carried away but a good positive feel about the team

[Barlow Boy]

A bit of a dampener on the result, Spence out for several weeks (lateral ligament damage).
