Oldham v SAFC--EFL Trophy

IMO there where some very encouraging signs in Saturdays game against Wigan with lots of balls going into the goal area and also the glaring problems of scoring.

The striker problems wont be solved until January and even then it wont be easy, the wage bill will need reducing with obvious candidates heading out,assuming anyone wants them.

Wyke is our best and maybe only option right now so players like Geads become important to get the goals.

Saturdays result was disappointing yes but probably good, a 1-0 win may have papered over the cracks.

So Tuesday becomes important not for progress in the competition but for trying to find the selection that works.

....... and to see who has the spirit and passion for the fight!!

let us see what the likes of Kimpioka, Diamond, Embleton, Neil and the like can do, please!

I think Kimpi is still out but we have a Mitch Curry who has pace to burn. Get him in.

I do not think booing was the correct way to deal with this however BLM is imo a political movement. FA rules states this is not allowed in football. 

My opinion for what it is worth is it should have been a symbolic one off at all football matches.

I think Millwall fans in general are a bad lot but reversing this would anybody care to hazard a guess what would have been said if there was a WLM movement?

Before anybody questions me. No I am not a racist. I treat people of all colours and races the way I expect to be treat.

I don't want to get into this too much as this is a football forum after all, but the argument is that BLM is a human rights issue not a political movement. The FA have allowed it under their own rules so it's not up to Millwall fans to be the arbiter. WLM is not something there is a desperate need for in our (or the USA's) society. Every life matters but there is a need to highlight injustice and prejudice of which there are many examples today and within football [Anybody see the Anton Ferdinand programme by the way?].

It's my view that there has long been a very unpleasant element to the Milwall fanbase and they have done themselves no favours. Perhaps they didn't mean to come across as racist but I'm afraid that a lot of the time perception is reality. Whilst taking a knee can be argued just to be a token now in contrast to when and how it was first used, Millwall fans have not shown their bright side by their reaction.
