Ummm we've just had 2 scorers from the academy, 2 others who played well and Gibbs (who everyone knows is going to be a player) on the bench. Mumba is a good player but the ones playing instead are as good if not better.

Carlton Morris.

And often that block is one of the most raucous in the ground. But it'sstill limited- you all have to be ok with sitting in that part of the ground, you have to be aware that those seats have gone on sale and one of you has to be organised enough to corral membership numbers/finances etc. That's if they haven't sold out by then. Casual fans are just that. Casual. If you've tried multiple times in the past only to be told it's sold out, you can all sit together behind a pillar or split into ones and twos , or you pay £40 to go to find yourselves surrounded by old farts moaning about the latest scapegoat people tend to drift away. For the Millwall home game 5 of us bought tickets on the back row of the "Community Corner" only for the stewards to spend half of the game telling us to sit down because "if we let you stand, everyone else will ". Suffice to say several of the group haven't been urgently trying to go again. It's telling that grounds that still have an intimidating atmosphere such as Sheffield United and Millwall rarely sell out meaning it's incredibly straightforward to buy large groups of tickets right up until kick off.

I was away from the UK for 5 years and having returned a year ago I've been genuinely shocked how much CR has changed. Grey and bald heads everywhere and even in the Lower Barclay you feel like an idiot letting rip in support of the team (outside the block of 300 or so who actually do it). To me it's been a process but eventually a tipping point is reached in which quiet/bored/moany is the default setting and more "lively" people don't want to be a part of it.

The club desperately needs stadium expansion so groups of (particularly young) mates can buy tickets together in a part of the ground they are not going to be treated like escapees from a lunatic asylum for supporting the team. The vast majority of our regular support are aging and go largely out of habit. I get Wagner's attempts but realistically it'snot going to work.

Thanks for that. Obvious issue with this is "League club" is a very broad term. I doubt whether Cambridge and Peterborough draw much from the West of our polygon, whereas a club like Watford would lose absolutely loads to the London clubs.

When you consider the lack of competition within our "polygon" it becomes even more stark.

Thought he looked fit and sharp so big credit to him. Also noticed him moving the ball quicker which opened up space for other players to utilise.

Could it be that the club banked on selling Aarons by now and that not happening has hastened "plan B"?

Was going to post the same. Really starting to look a class act. A goal would do wonders for him.

Indeed. Also funny how Morris has become the new Ronaldo when he was still on our books at 24 and virtually everyone was saying "why the hell are we still paying his wages?". Morris is actually a good example of players needing patience, an injury free run and regularly playing in a team which suits their style. All things which can be applied to Idah.

Honestly think that the best thing would be press forward with stadium redevelopment to shake everything up. The club needs new blood in the stands and people to be able to buy blocks of seats to sit in groups with their mates again. Unfortunately the last set of accounts make this scenario unlikely.

Helped him win a ball he had no right to, to spark the second goal.

Sadly many fans were waiting for any excuse to boo.

Looks stronger to me. Maybe he's looked at Sargent's turnaround and done some heavy lifting in the gym.

Hope he gets the credit he deserves. Energy, fight and great passing. Totally changed the game.

Yes did well. As did Gibbs when he came on.

I think if we go we will offer him a very generous 2 year contract. He's the kind of guy who can play every game and never get injured- I personally think he will age very slowly. Even if we spend good money on another striker, Pukki is such an intelligent player he will be useful even from the bench. If he refuses a contract and fancies pastures new he will leave with praise and thanks ringing in his ears.

It would be nice if our fans could figure out these sides game plan and get behind their side, rather than falling for it hook, line and sinker by getting tetchy and moany. But that's football fans I suppose.

If you switched the price tags of him and Nunez it would look about right. Cantwell didn't deserve to be dropped.

Brom have the highest number of shots in the division and lost the same number of games as us. Generally been regarded as unlucky not to turn draws in to wins.

I'm hoping that this indicates that Johnny Rowe will be back soon. Rowe created far more than Rashica last season on far fewer minutes and in 2 years will be twice the player.

Booooooooooooooooo!

I'll give you Sunderland. But then set that against Cardiff, Wigan and Hull where we were all over them, they scored from lucky deflections and we should've had several penalties.

We're not playing poorly. We're playing against teams who have little interest in doing anything other than defend and hope to nick a goal on the break. Most of the goals conceded have either been silly lapses in concentration or just ridiculous bad luck like the Brum goal today (cross comes off someone's knee and lands on the toe of the only player Brum have in the box). We always look likely to nick a goal and have quality, dangerous subs to bring on.
