I was at that game! 2 September 1978! Horton and Poskett got the other 2 goals and we won 4-1, having also had two goals ruled out for offside! It was a second half rout after a 1-1 HT scoreline. I went with a Millwall-supporting pal and we stood with the home fans. I had to sit on my hands and stay silent every time the Albion scored. Agony. I managed to conceal my true colours and my pal didn't give me away, which is just as well as it was an extremely hostile environment and the crowd were very wound up by the Albion team and fans.

I was at that game too. Also attended the 1-0 win the season before with Wardy scoring - that was the game that was played shortly after Panorama did their piece on Millwall fans. Yes, those naughty boys calling themselves ‘Treatment’, Halfway Line’ and ‘F Troop’. Surgical masks anyone? :D

Schelotto is the modern day Peter Smith. Fun and frustrating to watch in equal measure, never know what he is going to do next (good or bad) but also knowing that for all that, we must be able to find someone better at right back.

This. And, like the great Peter Smith, I have a feeling Schelotto has no idea what he's going to do next either. It's a giant mystery ride for everyone.

Don’t think the Greyhound will be winning player of the season like Smith did though! The fact that Smith and Andy Whing both won our player of the season awards in the past shows how far we’ve come!

Harsh on Schelotto. He's spent the vast majority of his career playing in the top flight in Italy, Portugal and England.

Not really, if it wasn't for his pace a physical attribute he wouldn't be anywhere near a top flight in any country. He cant pass, he cant cross, he isn't half bad in the air to be fair. But technically he is utter tripe.

For all of that he was probably our second/third best player yesterday which says a lot for our overall performance.

I admit Calde could also score with his arse but that was only in the Championship.

He also kept Bruno out of the team, created far more goals than Bruno and scored over 3 times Bruno's. He was a very good player, the best RB defender we've had for a long time imo.

God lives

Granted, he's not the most technically gifted but you don't make it to the point through pace alone.

I do remember Liam Brady saying that he'd often seen players like Peter Smith who were brilliant in their first season for a club and then were much poorer thereafter as they had "stopped to think about it" !

He's also an Italian international. Admittedly it's only one game, but Italian caps aren't exactly given away

Made a difference at West Ham, posed a threat on Saturday and could have won a penalty, gives 100% yet so many still choose to criticise rather than praise. Tough crowd getting more entitled by the year.


World Class fullbacks aren’t going to be coming here anytime soon

But any luck we'll get a capable one who can defend as well as attack.......

Amended the West Ham bit for you ;-)

He looks like he's loving the game time he's getting. I thought he was the forgotten man who would leave quietly out the back door to a Championship side, and he probably thought he'd missed his chance of regular Prem football here too. Feels like a real comeback story!
