Quite a few changes today considering we have had a ery settled starting xi of late.
 

FT: Millwall Lionesses 0 - 3 Brentford

Even opening moments here, first real chance sees Chelsie Berry get down the right wing, before the chance is cut out
 

FT: Millwall Lionesses 0 - 3 Brentford

Cleverly puts a ball over the top and Cheatley beats the offside trap. Shot is well saved by Millwall keeper, but that was an excellent chance.

Beauty of a corner for Millwall, ball is just headed away by Bees, but a warning shot.

Maddie Philips lets one fly from distance, just over.
But it’s slim pickings here in the opening 20 minutes

Lovely ball from Cleverley, then a 1-2 between Cheatley & Gilligan sees Ashley through on goal, but she scuffs her shot. Better from Bees though.

Ref has a word with Millwall captain for bad language. One of the Millwall players responds by shouting across the pitch “f*cking brilliant ref”

Cheatley is tripped in the penalty box, ref waves it away. Foul all day long. Even the vocal Millwall fan next to me has sheepishly walked away.

Ref now having a word with Cleverly about the Bees players conduct. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bit of pinball on our penalty box, which leads to the ball flashing across our 6 yard box. A second warning for us..

Kiszkis almost makes an immediate impact, ball through for Cheatley who pulls it back for Berry, but her shot is blocked.

A corner for Bees, sees a looping header from Cleverley, which is well read by the Millwall keeper.

First chance for bees, sees a nice Cleverly cross just out of reach of Smith

0-1

Nice run from Black down the wing, puts in the cross, Kiszkis shot is saved twice, ball rebounds to Gilligan who finishes it.

Constantine sends a shot just wide, after being put through by Gilligan.

Constantine with a shot from distance that sees the Millwall keeper scrabbling across her goal. She did well in the end to push it away.
 

FT: Millwall Lionesses 0 - 3 Brentford

Black now sends a shot just wide. The goal has opened things up and we suddenly look a bit more free and dangerous
 

FT: Millwall Lionesses 0 - 3 Brentford

Abbi Smith with a shot from distance now. We suddenly look much more relaxed
 

FT: Millwall Lionesses 0 - 3 Brentford

Millwall get a golden chance to peg us back. Shot goes just over the bar. Shows the games not over.
 

FT: Millwall Lionesses 0 - 3 Brentford

Monkman with a shot over the bar. Hit it well, but just leaning back.
 

FT: Millwall Lionesses 0 - 3 Brentford

Just before the goal, Monkman made a gut bursting run, to pull the ball back for Constantine. Ball is recycled for McRae who gets a shot away.

Q perfect free kick from Millie Constatine finds the powerful head of Wiltoria Kiszkis to make it three

FT 0-3 (HT 0-0)

Big week of 3 fixtures, and 3 wins. Today was understandably the most laboured of them all. A few tired bodies with lead in their boots today, made the game quite hard work at times. Millwall set up a tight defensive block that made it tough for Bees to break down. However, we stuck to our guns and with a lot of patience we wore the Millwall side down and claimed all 3 points.

It was one of those game that 3-0 somewhat flattered us, the final score line was rather harsh on Millwall. But in other ways, the score could have been more and from our chances and possession, maybe we should have secured the 3 points earlier in the game.

We spent much of the game looking for the perfect threaded pass. As Millwall were organised and good in defence, it was frustrating as time after time they cut those passes out. We looked better when we moved the ball wide, or Rhian Cleverly put in dangerous diagonal balls. Sometimes I think we just need to be more direct and not try to play too pretty.

Ashley Cheatley was on top-form today, and unlucky not to get a goal or two. Her ball control always impresses, and in the tight centre her ability to play past players was a sight to behold. She went down in the second half with an injury that didn’t look good. Notice she was being worked on by the physio for most of the rest of the game, only hope it’s nothing too serious.

Kiszkis scored a brace and her second in particular, Cheatley would have been proud of her ball control. The game was broken open though by Katie Gilligans goal. Nice work by Black down the wing and a cool finish from Katie really released the pressure and you could feel the relief from anyone.

Both Abbi Smith and Katie Gilligan impressed in the centre of the park & controlled much of the game. Millie Constantine looked sharp, particularly when she moved to the front line after Cheatley was removed. Cleverly though was the star of the show, and showed her control and ability to manage a game, while also getting forward more than her previous showings.

We leave the league now for a couple weeks, with the cups now taking precedent. We remain 3 points ahead of the league table, but it’ll be interesting to see where we are by the time we return to league action.

Yes we have a couple regulars who are very vocal and passionate. Had to apologise to the lino for the unfair earful he was receiving at one point. Heart is in the right place though, and it'd be quiet without them about.
