It’s hard not to feel at least a little bit sorry for Edwards right now.
This isn’t his squad and it’s noticeable that he’s toned down elements of the plans he implemented in the earlier games of his tenure to suit a squad which is totally bereft of belief and, on recent evidence, low on quality.
Edwards and Alex Aldridge have already played down the chances of major surgery in January, but boy does this team need some help.
We have a squad build to play with a back five, but we don’t create chances playing that shape. The personnel doesn’t suit it (even though on paper some should). The lack of pace in advanced areas continues to handicap us and the majority of our play is pedestrian and predictable.
To put it bluntly, Millwall need fresh blood. Badly.
Everybody knows the club spent a significant amount in the summer and we don’t have endless riches to delve into. But we need to get inventive and make things happen, because otherwise it could be a long old slog until May.
January is a notoriously tricky window to get right, but Millwall need to attack it. Much more than the remainder of this season is likely to hinge on what happens January 1 and February.
