INTO THE LIONS DEN

Does Rushworth have a weird style of play? Don't know if anyone else notices it but he likes to save with his arms sideways instead of getting in front of the ball. It works for him though and that's all that matters.

Good win but all the stats favoured Millwall....... except for the one that mattered. Scoring 3 in two consecutive games is great but conceding no goals is equally encouraging. Let's hope we can keep improving and at least catch Cardiff who now occupy a play-off place. Some stats:

POSSESSION: 50-50 SHOTS: 22-7 OT: 5-5 CORNERS: 6-0 FOULS: 18-10 GOALS: 0-3

The shots stat show that we lagged far behind Millwall but the OTs were equal. On another day we might have conceded a few but we have to increase our own efforts on goal on the basis that the more we put in the more likely we are to score. Mind you, the foul count shows that we were putting them under pressure and they had to foul to keep us out. All in all, a good 3 points and a useful credit to our GD.

Our midfield was not being ascertive, for large parts of the game it was content to drop and contain. Pato is not a box to box midfield player, and we really need that from him or another. When we got into the attacking third we looked dangerous, but we really didn’t get up there much

Lowe involved in all three goals. Paterson, who frustrated me so much that I wanted him subbed, involved in two goals. The first one was a beautiful through ball to Yates for the Swans penalty, and the second a lay off for the Grimes goal.
