    Neil Harris has a couple of injury concerns ahead of the clash with Oldham at Boundary Park tomorrow.

    As well as long-term absentee Tony Craig, we could be without Steve Morison and Fred Onyedinma as we resume league duties following our involvement in the FA Cup and JPT. Morison was taken off in the 2-0 win over Southend last Tuesday night, with Harris saying it was more a precautionary measure ahead of this weekend’s game. Fred picked up a knock against Wycombe last weekend and both players will be assessed closer to the fixture.

    We could climb into the top six for the first time this season with a win at Oldham if other results also go our way. We'll be buoyant and buzzing after Harris got the response he desired from his players following the disappointing performance in the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Wycombe last Saturday.

    Oldham welcome back Jay Fulton, Richie Wellens & Michael Higdon who were all ineligible against Sheffield United in their FA cup defeat, and now return to David Dunn's squad. Cameron Dummigan's ongoing groin injury continues to be a concern though, and Dunn admitted he will have to monitor the Burnley full-back in the build up to kick off. Lee Croft is back in training again and should return soon from an ankle injury but Jonathan Forte (knee) is still out until at least Christmas.

    Oldham are on a poor run of form and have lost their last four games.

    Former Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Dunn who was appointed permanent boss in October after joining on a playing contract in the summer, made a decent start to his management career and lost just two of his first eight games in charge.

    However, since then Oldham are just a point off the bottom of the table and have only won once at home since August, Dunn admits Millwall are a “dangerous” proposition as they look to correct that form. He told the club’s official website: “I went to watch them against Burton and they are doing really well under Neil Harris. He’s a good manager, good guy and very competitive as a player and that seems to be what he’s like as a manager.

    "This Millwall side are competitive so it will be a tough game for us, we will have to stand up to the battling qualities that they show. That is going to be the main thing that we need to do early on. They've got some decent players so they will be dangerous.”
