    After a reasonable points tally from a run of 'winnable' games, we start a period of tougher tests under Wagner. After this game we might get a better idea of how much improvement we have made because Millwall are far from being flaky at their own ground. Eleven matches unbeaten at the Den and on a good run of form recently, drawing with Burnley and Luton and beating Sheff Utd.

    Historically, though, we have quite a good record against Millwall (39 wins, 26 defeats) but much of that is due to almost never losing to them at Carrow Road, at least in the modern period. Recent away results have been very unpredictable, with the woeful 4-0 defeat which put pressure on Farke, but also two wins, 4-1 in 2015 and 3-1 in 2019 during the dream season of Farke's first promotion.

    A win here would mean that we are definitely in the play-off spots with just eleven games to go, a tribute to Wagner for re-energising what was a team going rapidly nowhere, but I suspect most of us would be happy to come away with a point.

    COYY!

    Go, go, Gozo. Not quite the Maltese Falcon but the Maltese Canary.

    I went back to my laptop installed Microsoft Edge with adblock & it usually gets rid of the pop ups .

    Canary Spring found a good one but that only worked on my phone through VPN.

    Come back hesgoal.com <wah>

    I'm struggling with this. If Giannoulis, Aarons, Hanley and Gibson are all playing, with McLean and Sara still the midfield cogs, where does Sorensen go? Does Sara move forward into the position Nunez has been taking for the last couple of games? Or is there a change in formation?

    Interesting to start Pukki given our performances without him - must be tactical so we will have to see how we are structured. Even more intriguing to have both Sorensen and Giannoulis in. I wonder if it is a 3-5-2, with Idah and Pukki up front?

    At this level that is a seriously strong bench.

    Still no Sarge? Thought he was due back for this match.

    I know I’m probably alone in this but I wouldn’t have brought Pukki straight back in, let him come off the bench. The gram have been playing well, no need to change it and it sends the wrong message to players like Nunez and Marquinhos who have done nothing wrong

    Got to be Sara at 10 if we okay that formation surely. I’m not expecting a 3-5-2 with Lungi at CB

    Could be Lungi at LB, Gianoulis at LW, Pukki behind Idah with Hernandez on the right

    I'm not going to question Wagner he's made some ballsy calls which have paid off & Pukki Is club Royalty, but I wouldn't have started Pukki either personally
