    I like Stephens in too because I imagine Millwall will be looking at balls in the box to score. Would prefer Charles in (wish they’d just be honest about Downes), but at least it’s not the same midfield 3 again, and Aribo adds physicality. Pleased to see AArma dropped to the bench, he needs a rest. Che up top makes sense vs Millwall too. COYR

    Better, but I’d have kept Edozie in for the Fraser super sub late show.

    Obafemi is decent at this level, that’s a tad annoying.

    Must be all those goals and assists he's been getting.

    He played well with Adams in the centre, did nothing when Mara was in the middle. Unfortunate really

    Just no balance at all to that team. 3 CBs in the back 4 and 6 attack-minded players in the midfield. Our best hope is that we completely dominate the ball and don't have much defending to do.

    Very glad to see Aribo back but Downes not even on the bench is a worry.

    What a tragic line up. Expect to still win because Millwall are no great shakes but I think we would lose to any top half side with that team

    It's a stronger team than the one we put out away to West Brom.

    RM did say that he would consider Downes for this one or Liverpool.
    I would sooner he returns fully fit rather than a risk of a repeat injury, even if it means missing the cup game.

    Debatable but I take your point. Interesting to see how Aribo does with a start, no denying he’s been great coming off the bench and has earned a chance

    Good to see from our goal kick that they didn’t press and gave us space to pass the ball out.
