BrotherOwlExile Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I think we'll win. As a veteran of many of this fixture in recent years - 2-1 or 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 good test for bullen this, they'll probably play matt smith so stopping crosses coming in will be important .....having 2 attacking wingers may not be a good option if he wants to stop that or does go feck it let them worry about stopping us ........

Sgt Wednesday Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 1 hour ago, Moody said: We (Millwall) always do well at home against the big hitters that end up in the Championship. Have a look at our record against the likes of Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Derby County and West Ham at home - it's phenomenal. So, if you lot are the real deal you'll get beat and then make the playoffs! On a serious note, seems like it'll be an interesting game if Wednesday like hitting teams on break. As Harris lets the opposition have the ball a lot. See if they can break us down and then hit them on break using wings and then a cross. Basic. But pretty effective. And it's effective because no, it's not a squad of 'League One players'. It's a team of pretty solid Championship players that know they've got to give 100% every week to remain as such. I think if you asked most players that play in this league the majority would probably say they prefer facing technically better (and far richer) teams like Derby County and Nottingham Forest than Millwall at The Den. Not many Championship players in there, proves my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said in his press conference there is a time for two wingers and a time for not doing so. I expect Bannan back in but instead of Murphy and Westwood back in. Luongo probably being the first sub for Lee Its going to be interesting as there’s lots to consider. I expect to see us set up in several ways over the season, however good this team may turn out to be we can’t reach the level of predictability we saw under Carlos. Removing attacking threats from a team is a double edge sword as it serves to hand the initiative to opponents. Also, whilst we can’t ignore the opposition strengths I don’t want to see another Carlos failing of worrying more about the opposites at the total expense of our own style and strengths. From what I’ve seen both Harris and Murphy are hardworking players in the press and their defensive duties so I don’t think it’s a given that one drops out. We’ll know shortly.

ashamanic Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I know nothing about Millwall. On an individual level, do they have any players people would put in the Wednesday side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I wonder if they play full strength this evening vs WBA in Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Millwall playing a tough game tonight. The Bury game being suspended could very well work out nicely for us. Hopefully we can push on come Saturday and bag another three points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Horses for courses . They will be physical and like others have said , have started well . Tough call , do we use pace with two wingers and try and catch them out that way or fight fire with fire and go more physical . Yeah that’s post has offered nothing !

0114 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Touch game Millwall. We won’t be able to press these like Barnsley and Reading because there will be no playing out from the back at the den. Happily take a point now, just keep aiming to pick up on average 2 points per game and we will be up there at then of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably be our toughest test to date this season but with the pace we’ve got out wide I think we’re more than capable of beating them especially on the counter. For me Keiren Westwood comes back in next week, Cameron Dawson did okay yesterday but his distribution was a bit iffy at times yesterday and as most have said Keiren will organise the defence and constantly be in their ear. The defence has to remain the same as does the front 3, the midfield is where changes may be made. Great to have an abundance of options for the first time in a while. I’d be tempted to have Luongo and Hutch as a 2 with Lee in front. Suddenly we have an extremely strong bench something we haven’t had in a few seasons. Think we will go a tad more defensive to start leaving out Murphy or Harris, bringing in Luongo and bannan for reach and Westwood straight back in of course.

I really hope Bullen and the players don’t go with that mindset - we need to be more “wilder” (sorry). We go to win every match home or away and settle for a point being a decent result.

asteener1867 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 It is a difficult place to go...but we should go looking for all 3 points...The side we have has all the attributes we need to get the points against teams like Millwall, who are hard to play against, but hardly among the best the championship has to offer.

Reach will play. Read what Bully has been saying about him today. Plus, if he does leave one of Harris or Murphy out he has to pick Reach or we only have one winger. I expect it will be Reach Lee Hutch Bannan Harris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) If we are to push for promotion this year then a win at Millwall is needed, to put in perspective I believe they have only won two or three home games in 2019.

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Predicted 1-1 the last two games, and it bought 2 wins, so it’s the usual 1-1 for me again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
