Achtung! Millwall 379: Millwall 1-4 AFC Bournemouth 'Lions are on the beach' edition
Hello dear listeners - another heavy home defeat for the Lions last night. The fourth time we’ve been beaten at home by more than two clear goals (c) Harry Warren. Joining me on this post match review are Aaron Paul of BBC Radio 5Live, Michael Avery and Mike Hayden …
But for the Covid19 travel restrictions, my first inclination was to review this decisive shellacking by saying that the Lions ‘were already on the beach’. Except that foreign travel remains restricted as I write these notes. So perhaps they were all mentally on Allhallows stone beach, kipping in one of the caravans after a heavy night in the site social club.
Because make no mistake, the 1-4 scoreline flattered Millwall. It really could (and maybe should) have been six - seven or arguably eight behind to a very decent Bournemouth side, whose movement and pace totally outfoxed the home side.
The easy option in these situations is to blame the old lags like Alex Pearce, inexplicably started yet again in what was a dead rubber game from our perspective - though not the play-off chasing Cherries’. From the front to the back line, this Millwall team looked uninterested and sluggish in the evening sunshine of South Bermondsey.
Defensive errors too numerous to mention were behind each of the goals, but crucially these self-inflicted mishaps were combined with an away side determined to win their way back into the Premier League by hitting form just as the play-off lottery is about to begin. A wicked combination to say the least.
For Millwall, the summer clear-out can’t come quick enough. Who knows that the football transfer market will look like in these post pandemic, debt ridden times. But one thing is for certain, the league table doesn’t lie and the Lions are much 11th in the table - and deservedly so.
