Thoughts v Millwall

[fritter]

It was also the link up between JZ, JA and Phil Bill. That duo and trio was fresh and revelatory.

JA and JZ are who they are. They were a critical part of those opening few games in terms of attacking. At the back Kelly’s value is now seen by his absence.

The squad is strong but we don’t have the players to play the same way regardless of personnel. Saturday will give a clearer picture of how SP responds to this.

Dorset Live has a decent analysis of the game - usual high standard by Jacob - and shows interesting heat maps of the play. Highlighted how Millwall let Meps have the ball and then strangled the space where his right footed passes would go. Highlights the value of Kelly as a left footed Player.

Bit poor that.

Great video, Rob.

Not sure why you're surprised by the access, positioning, inability to engage with fans, as the ethos of the stadium is operated on the premise of discouraging non-white fans and players; anyone with any form of disability and anyone who does not wear blue and white...albeit their coffee and pies do not discriminate other than for tea drinkers and vegetarians.

I don't profess to know how to fix it, but having Steve Cook as an option couldn't hurt if it wasn't for whatever background politics is being played out.

He is on nearly 4m a year with NI. Him, Danjuma and Bego were the players we decided to shift as the three highest wage earners. We have to hit certain levels. We wanted him off the books and told him, he didn’t find a club he liked that paid that money. He will try again in January. Parker will have been told to play him as a last resort. If he does his knee ligaments we will be paying him until the end of his contract.
