    A quick and shameless cut and paste from the BBC:

    please log in to view this image


    Millwall will seek to pick up their first points of the season at The Den on Monday night when Watford visit (20:00 BST).

    The Lions have picked up all seven of their points on the road so far and battled back to grab late levellers in their past two games, at Charlton last Saturday and at Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, only to bow out on penalties.

    The Hornets have taken one point from their two games on the road in the league, scoring only once, but could leapfrog their hosts if they can pick up their first win on their travels this season.

    • Millwall have won four of their past six league matches against Watford (D1 L1), twice as many as they'd won in their previous 18 against the Hornets (W2 D4 L12).

    • Watford won 3-2 away at Millwall last season and are looking for consecutive away league wins at the Lions for the first time since January 2012.

    • All seven points Millwall have earned this season have been in away games (W2 D1), losing both at the Den so far. The Lions last lost their first three home games in a season back in 2015-16.

    • Watford have won just two points in their last eight away league matches (D2 L6) since a 1-0 win at Middlesbrough in February.

    • Since making his first Championship start for Millwall on 23 August, only Norwich's Mirko Topic (25) has won possession more often than Massimo Luongo (22), with the Australian also ranking first for possession won in middle third (15) and second for fouls (9) in this timeframe.

    Yes, I get that! So, you are not helping me here! I know I am slow!

    Does Nampalys = Papy? The defensive midfielder.

    My original question asked which of the two Mendys is available for Monday, as I don't know which one is Papy as not seen that name mentioned.

    They're both available as far as I'm aware. Formose is the defender, and Papy (easier to say than Nampaly)is the midfielder.
    .should be easy to differentiate on the pitch - the former is 6'3", the latter is 5'6"

    So long as the guys on the pitch do.

    We might see a bit of a shake up and suspect PP will be keen for a good result and performance or the knives will be out even more.
    Let's hope it's worth the trip.

    It’s a very reasonable squad that should achieve once PP’s ideas have bedded in. He mustn’t take too long though.

    No you do feel he needs a good run as fans are questioning him already .

    Trouble is these games look winnable on paper but the Championship is so unpredictable and unreliable for results .

    People excepting/hoping PP throws both Mendys in and plays Baah and Irankunda it seems .

    Cannot see that happening tbh .

    Probably the same people who respond to this sort of nonsense - the brain-dead who don't stop to think about the damage they cause.

    Looks like a defensive line up tonight maybe bringing Baah and Vata on later.

    Change up front and presume the new right back is injured .

    What was Selvik thinking - left a huge gap for that free kick.

    Looks like he's injured himself too
