Turned out to be a decent spectacle, Milwall's first goal was a superb strike, Freeman just missed the ball on the stretch and Milwalls player caught it beautifully, second goal came from Baptiste attempting to bring it down on his chest but Milwall nicked it off him ran down the pitch and scored, despite this neither Freeman or Baptiste let it affect them and both were fantastic in the second half, once Milwall were down to 10 it was all Rangers, they sat deep the whole 45 and did well to soak up our attacks, once Smith and Sylla came on it left a bit of space at the edge of the box for Luongo, Freeman and Scowen to pass the ball left or right to the wings or shoot. Luongo's strike was a peach and Smith finished his goal well. Tough game but what superb spirit. [Post edited 12 Sep 2017 22:21]

My first game of the season this year and I agree with Kensal (especially on the expectation point). Frustrating when so much of the ball on the right in the first half was getting stuck at Baptiste and seemed a bit short on ideas of how we were going to build play. 2nd goal conceded horrible. 2nd half after the subs much better. Draw a fair result in the end. |
The whole subs thing is really interesting. The stats have said for some time that our subs actually make more of an impact on the result than most other teams. It's a couple of weeks old but this is WLS's article on it:

Ollie seems to get it right more often than you'd think. |  |

Spot on. I thought Ollie got the team selection wrong against a massive team that played very much like the old Wimbledon used to. Nothing wrong with that but we couldn't cope and they didn't let us settled. Once we had Sylla and Smith on they at least had to think about us. Their keeper pulled off a catalogue of brilliant saves and Morrison was outstanding for them.
BUT... the team last year never would have come back from 2-0 so that is the difference. We never gave up. We often looked a bit static but we never gave up. Lua Lua at least gave us something down the left which eventually stretched them.
Dreadful ref tonight. Far too quick to book Ned and not really sure it was a red for them. The guy was late on Scowen but it was very wet and they both went flying in. Stopped play when we were pretty much clean through. He did however punish them for time wasting.
Millwall will probably feel they missed a chance to win but we showed character and we never gave up. Their keeper had a brilliant game. |
It was blindingly obvious after about 20 minutes that the team selection was wrong. I was hoping he was going to change it before half time
Thought Mackie & Washington were very poor to be honest |  | | |

The worrying thing was how little trouble we caused them when they had 11 players - they dominated the game and didn't let our midfield three get any rhythm going. Second half was pretty much all Rangers, but the quality of our crossing was abysmal - constantly standing up little chips that the Millwall defence dealt with easily. But a lot of spirit to come back from two down.
One thing on Millwall - I thought Steve Morison was outstanding. 127 years old, upfront on his own once they were down to 10, and constantly gave them an out. Never looked like scoring, because it would have taken him 20 minutes to get into the box, but someone who worked so hard for his team. |
