He was a bit out muscled to be honest. 

I think we really missed Charles today. 

Most of the team were outmuscled today. Outfought and outrun as well.

Subs killed that game, Romeu not really up to speed. Aribo a disaster. Conceded the midfield, very lucky to get to 2 2

There aren't many grounds you go to where the atmosphere is all around the ground - it's just annoying it's that pointless noise they do.

Poor subs today. Minus point to Tonda. Would go as far as to say Aribo cost us the game. Waste of space. And Manning did more bad than good. Surely Wellington isn't that poor. When Robinson was on we had someone prepared to go at the opposition so bring on Matsuki rather than Aribo.

Also felt Armstrong was too far forward when we were playing out from the back, so there were no chances to pass to him to flick on to another runner.

Most important, I felt towards the end they wanted it more than us - which is something we have to get out of the system.

I think we were just missing one player too many,

And yes they were missing players, but arguably we're missing our best two in Scienza and Charles and then with Downes out as well, we were very light in midfield.

Matsuki and Welington must be absolutely dogshit in training if they can't get ahead of Aribo and Manning. 

 Joe must only be on the pitch to get eyes on him for January. 

 Manning must have pictures of someone on the board. Has he ever stopped a cross, or made any defensive contributions?

Yet manning and aribo adored and have their own song… manning has done a lot more than aribo has in a saints shirt. Aribo has been dogshit since he joined, totally overrated.

Probably the same people that clap the team off after utter dog shit performances.

Please you can't compare Millwall's resources with ours? The money we have spent compared to them etc etc.

We don't cope well with physical teams, a few too many son-in-laws out there today, we were at no point comfortable, credit to Millwall. Special mention to Aribo who put in one the laziest, disinterested performances I can remember. I hope he never plays for us again.

Based on 20 mins after 6 months out of competitive football. Seems like sound judgement.

He was bigged up on here before today ! I hope he brings some defensive stability.

The annoying thing is, if we conceded in the 87th minute you'd back the opposition to crack on and win it. We never looked like getting a third and in fact did the opposite.

Real shame as the table would have looked very different.  

Downes and Charles were needed there. Or a three instead maybe.

[Wade Garrett]

Really poor substitutions today.  We were second best.  They have an experienced manager who tactically did a number on us today.

We were lucky to get on level terms.  They fully deserved the win.
