I think the first half, even after we scored the goal, we were hesitant and clearly still affected by the loss to Pompey and the importance of this result. Yes, Millwall did pose threats from set pieces, given that most of the team are Giraffes and there were some cynical tackles, but that comes down to a very poor referee (no doubt born in South London) who allowed them to go unpunished, so you cannot blame the team for continuing in the same vein.
2nd half was much better and had us on the front foot, so a second goal was on the cards, but probably took too long for us fans.
Rothwell - We definately have to find a way to secure him (assuming we are promoted and he wants to stay)
Solomon - Same as Rothwell, although Everton are believed to be monitoring his progress.
Firpo - Someone mentioned putting him into the number 10 role, I think that is a great idea for the rest of the season. He spends most of his time in the opposition half, so we may as well make it work!
Tanaka - We need to get him on an improved contract asap. The big players will be swarming like bees in the summer!
We kick off first on the weekend, so could put down a strong marker.
