MILLWALL 3-4 IPSWICH -THINGS WE LEARNED

WHAT  did we learn from Millwall's 4-3 defeat to Ipswich at The Den last night?
 
Millwall lost for the second time this season after a crazy game against Ipswich Town here are some things we learnt from the game. 

1. Archer Needs to be dropped

Millwall have conceded six goals this season and Archer could well have saved 4 of them. In the game at the weekend against Bolton in real time the free-kick looked unstoppable but on further looking he could well have saved it. Last Night the first goal is an awful one to concede it is straight at him and for some reason he is diving when he could easily catch it! Very frustrating for us as fans to see that! 

Harris did not spare him in the press conference either saying that 'it was a horrendous effort by the goalkeeper, of course he shows save it, that's what he's in the goal for!' That for me shows that there is a possibility that he may not be between the sticks come Saturday.

2. When it clicks it will work well

We play some great football I was at the game Saturday and we played some really good stuff and I watched the game last night and some of our play was so good. We need to be more clinical but when you score three goals at home you do expect to win. I was not very happy with some of the defending, that has let us down! We must sort out all of the defensive problems soon because otherwise we will be sick down the bottom and this will turn into a season battle.

3. Morison and Gregory is not working

It has been a partnership that has worked so well over the last two years and so far the teams we have played other than Forest have contained them very well. Greg's looked a bit short on confidence goalscoring wise but when he gets that first goal I think he will get going and then the partnership will hopefully start working again.

4. Elliot deserves a chance

Tom Elliot has done well whenever he has come on and in his only start he scored a brace so I think he deserves a start at the weekend. Against a Bristol City side who will struggle with our physical side I think so hopefully he will get a chance as I think he has earned that opportunity.

FT REPORT: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-1 TOTTENHAM

HARRY KANE broke Crystal Palace hearts as he headed home an 88th minute winner at Selhurst Park.  It was Kane's 35th goal of the season and his 150th career club goal, the goal equalled his record of goals for last season as he once again looks on course for another stunning season in front of goal. His header broke the hearts of Palace who were denied a precious point in the battle against relegation. One man who will be thanking Kane for scoring will be Spurs right back Serge Aurier who had missed an open goal a few minutes prior to Kane's goal. The result saw Spurs go above Chelsea into the top four on goal difference before the Blues's trip to Manchester United. The defeat for Palace see's them remain 17th in the table outside the drop zone on goal difference. They also play Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in three of their next four fixtures. It was a tight and tense affair in the first half and Spurs were unlucky to be denied two penalties....
