Game summed up our season, first half offered completely nothing but credit second half we changed it but second goal killed it. No disgrace in the result and a great cup run which is the highlight of yet another abysmal season, need to ensure safety now let’s hope these players show enough for the remainder.

We did not seem to have enough confidence in the first half and were just reverting to long ball out of defence which was then coming back at us. A lot more encouraging second half with our better players on the pitch. I thought Remy did ok first half and credit to Kalambayi and Phipps who both did well.
Great to see a number of players getting a run out in the second half that have been injured for a while.
A good run in the cup but we now need to be a lot more consistent in the league.

Can’t moan about the day trippers, would you rather we had a few hundred in our end?

Should have made changes a lot sooner. Looked much better after he finally made some subs but it was too late.

Depends who they are, if they are West Ham fans only there to wind up the locals with shouts of 'irons' and doing that silly x-factor sign then yes...

Orient beat Derby last night. They've got Man City at home in the 4th round. Wouldn't bet against them the way City are at the moment...

It was noticeable that Millwall employed two very wide players on both sides of the pitch going forward and we didn't have a way of combatting that. Haven't seen Millwall play before but I guess this is their normal strategy and if so, and we had done our homework, we should have worked out a way to deal with this. They had so many attacks down the wings and I think two of the goals came from this.
It didn't show up on the TV but as a spectator at the match you could see it happening all the time. Have noticed the same thing happening at home matches where the opposition play someone on both touchlines and leaves us so vulnerable.
