Joe Edwards expects a different game on Wednesday when Millwall travel to Ipswich
JOE Edwards insists Millwall won’t be “coming away” from their ideas after the first setback of his time in charge.
Coventry City ran out comfortable winners at The Den yesterday as the Lions struggled to create many clear cut chances.
Millwall had won 0-4 away at Sheffield Wednesday in Edwards’ first game in charge but could not replicate the same performance levels on Saturday.
The head coach is trying to push Millwall up the table while also gradually changing their playing style to something more progressive.
They now face a difficult trip to Ipswich Town on Wednesday where the Lions’ head coach expects a different game but says his side won’t deviate too much from what they’re working on.
He said: “We won’t start coming away from the plan and the idea of where we want to take this team. Every game is a process of sticking with our principles in what we want to keep adding to the team, with every game you look at the opponent and respect what they are is it as home or away game and factor in how that will change the game.
“I think we had 60% ball possession as the home team [against Coventry]. I don’t envisage us going to Portman Road on Wednesday and having to do that and having loads of the ball.
“I know physically it will be a tough shift because I watch Ipswich and they work. It’s no surprise to me they are doing as well as they are in the league because they work hard.
“This is very early on in a new journey for us, every game we have I’m getting to know the players and the team. With everything we see we try and look to improve.”
