We are really playing well right now, and if we carry that form into Saturday, I see no way we will get challenged by the Lions.  Hughes was great today, and I really liked the determination we showed against Bournemouth to get three points. We seem to be hitting our stride right now, and other teams should be dreading to play us imo.

 

When looking at Millwall and their squad, not a lot of quality really stands out.  Their best player is hard to find and their only multiple goal scorer is their defender Beevers.  That is never a good stat 10 matches into a season.  Asides from that though, they have been steady for the most part on defense and currently sit at 16th in the table with 11 points.  They don't score a lot, but really do not concede a lot either.  Holloway is a funny manager and I think he is doing the best he can with the players he has.  With that being said, I do not see Millwall posing too much of an attacking threat.

 

As for the Rams, I see the same starting XI as versus Bournemouth.  While neither Ibe or Russell played all that well imo, I feel Ibe did not do badly enough to lose his starting spot.  Hendrick is back so it would not shock me  if he started, but I honestly don't expect him too.  If he does though, I will be fine with it.

Should be a good one as we continue to move up the table. As I put in the predictions thread, I am going with Rams 3 Lions 0.  Onwards and upwards.

We have to win this game, no two ways about it. This is a game which you have to find a way to win if you want to go up. They will certainly make it difficult, but they aren't playing well at all at the moment.

I want us to absolutely rip them apart. Last season's loss to them was one of the most frustrating feelings I've ever had watching football - it was such an injustice. 

 

I want us to score more than five and really pay them back for last season. Derby 6-0 Millwall.

Could go either way this one. It is guaranteed that Holloway and his merry men will pull any stroke to stop our fluency. So, i hope that above anything our defence is fully on their game for either a one-off breakaway, and any corner or free kick bombardment. If they are, and we don't concede, I think we will win. If, big if, we score in the first half we might win well. Another 3 points would be just dandy. 22 points from 11 games is bang on where I had hoped we would be, because if you can consistently get 4 from every 6 available that is automatic promotion form.

Don't think it will be a grubby horrible affair at all....

Think this is the one where the tinking machine gets into full flow.
