We really need to win this to push on from the Burnley debacle but would take a draw....

 

Poignant fixture as my Dad, who died recently, was a lifelong Millwall fan - of the non stereotypical, old school, Cold Blow Lane variety - fortunately we moved to Cromford when I was very young, so my footballing loyalties weren't compromised, bIIut it was a narrow escape!

 

1-1 FGS Ward

 

RIP Dad

My view on Millwall..

They were a very structured side under Kenny, whilst never the best side always made themselves hard to beat and you always got what you expected from Millwall, they played at a very level consistency and always did enough.

This summer, with Kenny sick of limitations and restrictions in his job at Millwall left and in turn they hired a very ambitious manager who had done reasonably well up in Scotland, they were quick to sign some GOOD championship players - nothing like what they were used to with Chaplow, McDonald, Morrison, Derry and Bailey coming through the door. They aren't headliners by any stretch but good players whereas Kenny had taken chances on some players.

The manager has lost what Kenny had, in terms of structure, also had a bad start to the season both on and off the pitch - the fans don't want ex-hammers Lomas in the job, and didn't from day one, so he is under pressure! I don't know what to expect from them tomorrow, they're still an unknown entity and the break could have re-vitalised their squad to kick start. I expect we should win this, and we need to win this with the games coming up - this looks like a gimmie, but, remember Millwall at the den is normally no easy task, so we should beware.

Looking forward to seeing Liam Trotter and James Henry again, as I am Martyn Waghorn (who turns into pele when we play against him) they're not a push over, and we're not as superior as most people would think IMO.

A very good assessment, especially from a opposition fan!

I had a dream last night where Clough had a bust up with Martin and left him on the team coach and we were 5-0 down at half time.

 

Also, during the half time break I hacked Greg Halfords twitter account.

 

 

I think one of those things will happen.
