    T Bradshaw now racked up 220 minutes for Millwall without a goal. Sad for him, funny AF for Millwall fans!!!

    We move on. If there was life after Winnall theres most certainly life after Bradders. I prefer Moore anyway

    In Toms defence 2.5 games of playing time without scoring is hardly a drought of epic proportion. Especially when you consider he’s settling into a new team, on a poor run of form.

    He’ll probably do alright over the season or two. He’s a 10+ goal striker at that level. 20+ at our level. Now we’ve sold him some seem to remember him as a quality championship striker. I thought he was a hard working, honest player, who was one of those who’s probably too good for League 1 but not quite championship quality.

    Still, good luck to him. He’ll need it at that ***** hole of a club. Hope he does ok but they get relegated.

    Agreed, let’s hope Woodrow can fill the gap at this level.

    I seem to remember Bradshaw tally last season included goals actually scored by Matty Pearson and Ashley Fletcher. He was going to take the piss at this level though. Criminal we didn't keep him.

    While I agree he isn't a championship quality striker it's unfair to judge him when all those minutes are made up of substitute appearances.

    It’s just funny how Millwall scum went on like their biggest signing ever was the new messi. No issue with Tom, but LOL!!!!!

    He isn’t a 10 goal striker at Championship level. Be lucky if he ever manages that in his career.

    He got 7 in 39 for us last year. Put Tom in a half decent team with a half decent manager and he would get another 3 at least.

    Good luck to him. But not them.

    You could say that about anyone. Fact is he’s never done it and he isn’t good enough to play for a half decent Championship team.

    And yet, apart from the odd moment, we've badly missed him.

    I personally do think he's a Championship striker but not as a goalscorer. He's a foil for someone like Lee Gregory who's capable of 20 goals at that level.

    Say what you like about Bradshaw but letting him go has made us several times a worse side.

    That we are still in the top four is due to the shiteness of the division, as aside from Peterborough I can’t recall us playing that well in many games since he was allowed to leave.

    Hopefully Woodrow will get us back to that level but it baffles me at the time the number of people who couldn’t see how vital he was to how we were playing.

    I understand the human element but from a footballing point of view it was absolute madness to let him go.

    Well I know Jack **** about football normally but I posted on the day he left that we would miss him terribly and that he would pull up no trees at Millwall. Both predictions are coming true.

    I wish we would stop bringing Bradshaw up, he was poor and the football last season when he played was incredibly frustrating, he ran around a lot, tapped the odd one in but generally poor. We started this season well not because of Bradshaw but due to Moore, Dougall, Mowatt, Potts, Thiam, Cavare Adebejo starting on fire impressing a new manager and taking league 1 teams a bit by surprise.

    Other teams have improved and are well organised and tough to break down, we've lost 3away games against teams that played really well on the day.

    If Woodrow had not got injured (Bradshaw could have got injured as could any player, Moore did) then we would have a few more points on the board than we have now and have a slightly more settled forward line than we do now.

    Its been good to give Brown and Adebejo game time but they are not quote ready yet, we would have been better sending them out on loan in league 2 and brought in a loan striker from a higher division with more match experience or young highly rated. This would hopefully have brought them on and still allowed us to push on for a quick return to the championship.
