An average performance against Blackpool had downed the mood somewhat for Lions fans as Millwall lost 2-0 thanks to two goals from Thomas Ince.
The first half was relatively okay for the lions and the two best chances fell to them, First with a Danny Shittu header being cleared off the line for a corner and then good play from Liam Trotter saw Andy Keogh go through, Only to see his half volley saved by Matt Gilks. Plus Josh Wright hit one of his trademark volleys that went just wide.
It then became the same old story for the lions as Blackpool's first meaningful attack came to fruition as Thomas Ince cut back and ram into the area and fired across Maik Taylor to make it one nil.
The 2nd half brought a change as Shittu came off for Dunne, but to be honest Shittu was flagging after around 20 minutes, And to make it worse Jack Smith went off injured, Which saw Malone pushes back to Left back. Let's be honest Malone was useless at left wing, And for Chris Taylor being left out for "Tactical reasons" is stupid, you've signed him KJ so play him.
The 2nd half was basically Millwall getting forward,Blackpool clear, and repeat for about 45 minutes. The nail in the coffin for Millwall was confirmed when Thomas Ince beat the offside trap and the attention of Shane Lowry to double his tally for the game, 2 nil and it was game over.
Their we're some positives from the game, Josh Wright had a excellent game, Despite the first half miss Keogh had a good game. But their were to many players having a off day. Malone,Henderson,Henry. And Trotter was so unseen the kit he wore today won't even need a wash.
Despite this, we have just lost to the losing play-off finalists who have one of the finest young talents in the league, they were good at going forward and their defence was sound. I'm still positive about the new season and can defiantly see us returning from London Eoad on Tuesday with 3 points.
