It’s tough though, especially when Rowetts thugs will probably target Sibley because of his inexperience and occasional poor temperament. I love Holmes, but I’d probably drop him for Sibley, especially as he struggles to play a full 90 at the best of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from with this but I think he's learning and maturing in that department. I thought he handled himself well in the face of Mctominays attempted bullying against Manure.

Composure only really comes with game time, so it’s not a criticism of him. I’m just a bit concerned about some of Rowetts tactics getting the better of him.

Agreed, there is no doubt that it's the kind of poohousery tactic that you'd expect to see from a Millwall/Rowett type team. I would just love to see him pass that test with flying colours again. I thought he actually made Mctominay look a mug in that particular face off and showed a maturity beyond his years in actual fact. It's a tough call for Cocu and I think we'll be equally as strong either way he calls it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Sibley is a fantastic talent but at this stage in his development I reckon home games will be a happier environment for him to grow in. Needs to bed in, no rush.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The blue team definitely looked like the stronger XI. From what I could see, the lineup was this: Roos (no Hamer for some reason) Wisdom Davies Clarke Malone Rooney Shinnie Whittaker Sibley Lawrence Waghorn (I think he moved out wide later on with JHL coming on for Whittaker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it is just a training game, it's good to see the lads back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I have a feeling that we are more likely to be in the Play Offs if Rooney plays further forward. We have so many alternatives in this squad now. When was the last extremely combative team that we had. What would be our most combative eleven now. I would stick with the team that won against Blackburn Rovers for the Millwall game. Goals win matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Wrong message to our young stars to drop them now. Certain to get the best out of our young talent at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'd go with Roos/Hamer Bogle Wisdom Clarke Lowe Shinnie Rooney Waggy Sibley Knight Martin No place for my favorite (Holmes) as another favorite (Sibley) takes his place. And I'd prefer Waggy over Holmes on the wing as well, it's Rowett's Millwall after all so little bit of physicality won't do any harm. Harsh on Bird, but he has to go to a barber first. Also, against Millwall, Shinnie is the first name on the teamsheet for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt it our "experienced" players who kept getting dubbed 3-0 every time we went to the capital earlier in the season? That's experience we can do without!?

Ghost of Clough Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Rowett will set them up to defend and hit on the counter, even more so with match fitness being so low. For me, that rules out Davies and Forsyth at the back due to lack of pace and ability to recover from counter attacks. Roos Bogle Wisdom Clarke Lowe Bird Rooney Waghorn Sibley Lawrence Martin Holmes, Knight and Shinnie to come on. Maybe Forsyth if Lowe tires, and Davies to help us keep a clean sheet late on when 3-0 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady1993 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Difficult to call this line up. There is a number of variables that affect selection that are hard to read into I.e. contract issues, players fitness following lockdown, players general willingness to play post lockdown, aging players getting rustier and younger players potentially developing. It's all a bit tricky to see how that falls out In a vacuum I think our best team is: Roos/Hamer Bogle Wisdom Clarke Lowe Rooney Bird Waghorn Holmes Lawrence Martin But I think you can argue for Forsyth over Lowe for extra height, possibly make a similar argument for including Davies (Although I suspect itd probably be incorrect), Sibley and or Knight somewhere in the attacking 3 and not including Martin if his contract situation is too distracting. The only thing I'm relatively confident of are those not including Bird in their side are likely wrong. His form and pairing with Rooney was instrumental in turning form around back in January and I think it would be a dire mistake to not start him.

Roboram Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I’ve still got tickets for this. Might pop down. Anyone know the train times?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I would pick those that have looked decent in training in the last few weeks with a mind on the type of team Millwall are (Snaky Cloggers). To me that means Forsyth LB and Shinniesta to be involved. Having 5 subs to play with is is likely to have a bearing on starting teams picked and tactics. You could get a “keep it tight” starting 11 then have subs as early as 35 mins to transition to something more progressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Okay so putting my tin hat on. If he wasn't so commercially valuable, would the fat, post-lockdown Wayne Rooney be in our best eleven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
