If I had to pick one part of yesterday that was disappointing it was Ayunga. After watching the entire squad chase everything and everyone down with maximum effort for 90 mins, to see him hardly break into a trot for the little time he was on the pitch, was annoying. Still, great 3 points. Onwards and upwards. I don't share that opinion but then I might be biased because I do rate him. I don't think he is anywhere near as fast as Hanlon, McCormick or Nicholson so that may well show up compared to those. I also think like Jordi getting back into a side who are now fast moving and fast thinking it will take a while to adjust, get in gear and regain self confidence.

H Suppose we actually have a unique mind and are truly individual. We don't want to adopt a certain ideology of a group, right, left or centre? Thankfully we can still go to the ballot box on our own and put our cross where we want to. Yes we will be called 'morons and woeful' by ideologists but we are free from their thoughts and we make our own judgements and wish to remain that way. Yes they can get aggressive if we don't agree with them, they can try and go against democracy, but it won't work because it is simply unfair and an individual who knows himself will think and act in his or her unique way, that is true freedom and I am grateful and appreciate so much we can express ourselves in that way. Being forced to adopt a certain ideology and standing against an ideology due to utter drivel are not the same thing. By your stance that you promote you should neither support kneeling nor support booing One man's utter drivel is another man's sound reasoning. We celebrate our uniqueness.

Spot on. The energy from this team is a revelation. Where has this energy come from? Team much more organised and working hard together. The press continues. Team seem to be enjoying and responding to this managers methods. We even run around for throwins now 😊

We've had one game when we were awesome the game before that we were awful. Will Orient let us play or will they be in our faces? If the latter can we cope? If the first 3-0 to the Gas if the second we could struggle so 2-2 we win on pens. 7pm kick btw

I suspect that what we are seeing now is proof of why political actions on the pitch are banned by FIFA. Have they given special dispensation for this taking the knee? There has to be a better way for football to support the cause than this pre-match pantomime bollocks. If you've got any suggestions then fire away as clearly whatever has been done up to now clearly hasn't worked. You're right all this type of stuff,like kick it out hasn't worked. The reality is life isn't perfect, never has been. It's what religion has called God and the Devil and psychologists positive and negative. It's doesn't work because to highlight a certain section of society the rest feel dismissed, so they express that and it causes division, so not only does it not work it makes it worse. Racism is just one evil in this world, there are a lot worse. Why don't we go down on one knee to draw attention to murders? Why not for rapists? If I would suggest we just did this for the murders and rapes of black people it wouldn't be difficult to see this is plainly wrong, easy to see. The problem with racism is the accusers and supporters are often wrong, as we have seen on this thread. We have just appointed a new manager. Not one forum poster suggested a black manager, why? I suggest it was because none were suitable not because of their skin colour. Although Tis born in Malta and with a slight colour,was rightly chosen because he was the most capable, this is how it should be. If we had appointed a manager who was black for the same reasons, there wouldn't be a backlash because very few people are racists. People want fairness. Genuine racism should be severely punished but let's not become divided as the power driven want. We each have an individual responsibility to each other just as we do with stopping the virus. I would like everyone to stop taking on board others opinions and think for ourselves with rationality, not to be influenced by those who have a hidden agenda, these people destroy all the good we have if we let them.

If you’re against an anti-racism movement, that makes you racist. It’s as simple as that. There's nothing like a closed mind to make life simple

Too many people on here have written off Upson. He is a better player than most give him credit for. He had a spell when GC was manager when he was superb, I think it's just the way he's played.

What Millwall fans did was only showing the dislike of BLM the movement, they are Marxist ( they admit this ) they encourage violence, burning flags, pulling down statues and defacing property. BLM has very little to do with Black people but everything to do with anarchy. Taking the knee was a BLM idea and a very bad idea at that. Don't know how many times I need to ask this, but why is a movement "being Marxist." Intrinsically bad? First of all, the movement itself is not Marxist. It is true that the founders of Black Lives Matter have said that they are "trained Marxists," however, they also said they "don't want to be seen as the vanguards of this movement." Although founders in practicality, they hardly see themselves as the leaders of such a political movement. Secondly, I would argue that most rational people are Marxists, in some way shape or form. Let's put it this way: to be Marxist, you don't inherently have to be a communist or socialist. Now, it is true Marx did advocate for the transitionary phase to communism from capitalism through socialism, however, when you're talking about political ideologies; religious beliefs, points of view: you don't have to agree with every single point someone makes to be that a part of that ideology. Marx's critiques of capitalism were undeniably accurate, I don't think I've ever seen anyone contest that. Where people have an issue is where it comes to whether socialism/communism is a truly better ideological system; which they don't believe to be the case, perhaps due to past implementations of this' failures, but also because, at least to an extent; through things like the Red Scare and mass propaganda campaigns we as a society have been led to believe like a hivemind on that point. But there is a reason ideologies like Social Democracy exist, they don't advocate for mass revolution, violence, burning flags, pulling down statues and defacing property. They believe that capitalism is not beyond reform and with things like government nationalisation of certain branches of society (like healthcare, railways etc). And limiting the ability of big business to exploit ordinary people, that's still Marxism. It's just not as "Marxist" as someone who would advocate for the complete overthrowal of such a system. But let's say they do advocate for the complete overthrowal of the system. You say, completely falsely, that they encourage violence, burn flags, pull down statues and deface property. It's strange to me that a fellow football fan cannot recognise that the movement itself doesn't stand or idolise or condone almost any of these things, especially encouraging violence; burning flags is a First Amendment right. But you refer specifically to the leaders when you call them Marxists, but then don't refer to the leaders in terms of other contexts. The reason this is weird is because there are many, many football fans that are racist. Yet if I accused you of being racist for simply being a football fan, that'd be absurd. Also, the Marxist point is LITERALLY IRRELEVANT. Like completely, Martin Luther King Jr was also a profound, outspoken Marxist. He was also the leader of a political movement challenging racism in society. It's so irritating that the exact same arguments are unironically used today against such a political, social movement that were used against MLK and the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. So yeah, stop being a and support this please. Your arguments against it are truly woeful. H Suppose we actually have a unique mind and are truly individual. We don't want to adopt a certain ideology of a group, right, left or centre? Thankfully we can still go to the ballot box on our own and put our cross where we want to. Yes we will be called 'morons and woeful' by ideologists but we are free from their thoughts and we make our own judgements and wish to remain that way. Yes they can get aggressive if we don't agree with them, they can try and go against democracy, but it won't work because it is simply unfair and an individual who knows himself will think and act in his or her unique way, that is true freedom and I am grateful and appreciate so much we can express ourselves in that way.

Didn't take long for you to get nasty when someone has a difference of opinion. Stop abuse for everyone Erm, I would argue it was the Millwall fans that "got nasty". Again I'll ask as no one has bothered answering, what is it about BLM that people are offended by? People are offended by the brainwashing by the media which I believe seeks to divide people. Stop abuse for everyone.
