Not much to say about the result/performance today. Very defensively set up, and the few attacking players we had looked lightweight in Berg's system.
Yes, Millwall are on a decent run, but they are a very poor team in comparison to the squad we have at our disposal. In all honesty they will probably finish up on the bottom half, and so will we unless we get our act together.
Really really poor.

You have a good point Damian,not very adventerous really,and when the away team comes and plays 442,it does seem strange that we play one up front,however i still say and this is to BaWHs has well ,i will give Berg time to assess his squad of players ,i can see that we do need a FIT attacking midfielder,and maybe that is another issue,,i have always felt,even from the first game i watched in the championship at Ipswich the opposing player have always appeared to have had more energy and been much fitter than ourselves,this was again glaringly evident on Saturday,,lets give Berg a chance of say a month to 6 weeks ,for me has a mamoth task on his hands now,by the way i go to Ewood with 7 other fans and we all predict the score before the game,most were 3-1 and 2-1 to Rovers i said it would be 2-1 to Millwall,,you see even there i was being optomistic,this group of Rovers players are not that good in truth and are certainly not as fit as the rest of the prem were it matters,,MIDFIELD.

Poor indeed. Berg is helped and hindered by following coco - squad down on nous or ability but fans who don't want to criticise after our suffering...
However, it was a poor appointment!

I dont think you should have corrected yourself Roverblue. We should still compare ourselves to premiership teams as that is where we want to be. We dont want to turn into a team like Blackpool who look really good at this level but struggle at the next, we need to know we are ready so we dont come straight back down and at the moment we aren't. If that takes Berg this season AND next, I'm happy to wait.

Indeed, needs a couple of transfer windows but then we'll be 3 years down the line in our push for Champions league...

Liquidation is more likely.

Emancipation is most likely! I agree,worryingly without spark against Milwall, especially 2nd half. Not sure about next week needs to be much better.
