Match preview;
Our visitors on Saturday, Millwall have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five. They sit 8th, with 14 points, so two places and one point behind us. Their top scorer is Camiel Neghli with only 2 goals, and they've scored a total of 9 in total in their opening 9 games. After a year out of the game, Alex Neil took over at The Den in December 2024, and in his 38 games in charge he has won 19, drawn 7 and lost 12. Last season they finished 8th, just 2 points away from a playoff spot, and so this season Neil will be hoping to get those few extra points that would have put them in the top 6.

As for us, it's been quite good recently hasn't it! Four wins and two draws in our last six games, and we are suddenly in the top 6 and looking good. Kone has found his shooting boots, with 4 so far this season, and the attacking threat of him alongside Smyth, Burrell, Vale and Saito has made for some very enjoyable watching. Also, credit where credit is due, we've only conceded 4 goals in our last 6 matches too, which is also splendid to see. Long may this fine form continue, but no doubt Millwall will be hoping to ruin our mood come Saturday at 12:30...yes lads and lasses, it is another 12:30 lunchtime kick off.

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

The table, perhaps, suggests a draw but I hope we find some extra home form and smash them!

 

Or maybe 1-0.
I like the ‘smashing’ idea though

 

Luke Freeman

Tony Witter of Rumbelow’s Cup 100m fame

 

Ian Holloway has managed both

Steve Gallen has coached both

 

My mate has a spare in the Lower Loft if anyone wants it. Think it’s an U18 but no danger of being an issue.

 

Practically a full squad available for JS for the first time?

 

Can't go on Saturday, so sold mine back to the club. Went in 20 minutes.

 

A packed HQ and a London derby...all the ingredients for a rocking HQ...except for the lunchtime kick off.

 

Snap.

Cheers Dave.

I’ve never enjoyed these games, with their ludicrous police presence, regardless of result. Family commitments on Saturday but I wasn’t heartbroken. Hope the run continues.

 

Is it as simple as just calling the ticket office?

 

For those going, remember there’s the usual restrictions on routes to and from the ground because we still have to pretend it’s the 80s once a season. Some new roadworks around Scrubs Lane too apparently.
