    can appreciate worry regarding our availability and their form. We’re also unbeaten in 8 mind

    but I can’t look at that and worry. Set piece threat yes. But apart from esse and azeez there’s no real quality or worry for me. Certainly not a team I’d expect to finish in the play offs.

    they’re a tough side to break down I’ll give them that.

    genuinely think they had a better side last season

    I would’ve taken Tanganga here on a free mind think he’s a decent CB. Esse their main threat as you mentioned, hopefully they leave him on Cirkins side of the pitch.

    You have a point there, nobody stands out in that lineup really. Thankfully central defence isn't an area we are struggling so id like to think we will cope with the set pieces.

    As long as everyone puts a shift in we should still get something from the game. I'm going for a boring 0-0

    I like Coburn. Heard a few good things about him as he was coming through. Stalled a little last season, but he was still putting himself in and amongst it. I think he might well be a decent striker at this level, but in reality between Mepham, ONien or Ballard we should be able to cope with him.

    I like him a lot, a huge mistake letting him go and typical he had a growth spurt months after leaving.

    Nightmare if he's missing, if he is then hopefully just be the 1 game as we have some tough games coming up

    I'd take a point tomorrow with all the players missing but just think what a boost it would be to the squad if we won without

    Hume
    Cirkin (if rumours are true)
    Jobe
    Roberts
    Mundle

    All guaranteed starters, then you add in our 4th best CM also missing

    Massive miss if true. I would probably play Onien lb, Johnson rb. But it does push everything out of kilter as where does the roll in from full back come from. If he is missing I would be really tempted to go 3cb, I dont like it, but with no full backs at all it is a hell of a problem to solve.

    Of course they aren't but it's still a very tough place to go if we were at full strength

    We are missing some huge players for us, both fullbacks have been possibly the best fullbacks in the league, Jobe has been the best CM imo and both wingers have probably been top 5 wingers in the league - massively weakens us for this game, that's why I think a lot are concerned or would take a point

    Having said all that, we can still go there and get 3 points tomorrow

    Of course it's a tough game, but the social media narrative makes it sound like an impossible task.

    It's Millwall, it will be tough and horrible but it's time for those that haven't played or those on the sidelines to step up

    Another great thread @RTB -thank you.

    My tuppence worth is that Im strangely confident with this one. I think it will be nervy, I think the newer introductions to the team replacing suspensions and injuries will be eager to take their chance, I also think that our away support (god bless them all) will play their part and I think LeBris will tactically outthink Millwall - who can't seem to move past little possession and set pieces.

    A nervy win by one goal

    Hawaaaaaaaaay
