Head-to-head ⢠This is the 55th league meeting of Millwall and Cardiff. Both clubs have won 17 of the previous 54. ⢠The last three clashes have been drawn; both last season's were goalless. ⢠Cardiff have only registered one win in 12 league matches against the Lions (2-1 in September 2010 at the Cardiff City Stadium), but it has been 30 years since they last took away maximum points from Millwall. Millwall ⢠Two wins and three defeats see Millwall on six points after the first five games for the second season running. ⢠Kenny Jackett's side are yet to keep a clean sheet after six league and cup outings. ⢠Opponents have scored first in all but one of their Championship games. Cardiff City ⢠Fifth-placed Cardiff trail table toppers Blackburn by just one point, having a 100% home record and a winless return away from home. ⢠They boast just a point on the road from a goalless draw at Brighton, but the disparity of eight more points at home than away, is beaten only by Middlesbrough's nine home points, and none away. ⢠Malky Mackay's side have lost only one of their last 15 regular league games. I expect the team will remain the same. Turner still out but Connolly is looking like he can dampen the blow if he continues to play well after that disastrous début. From previous experiences Jackett will have a tough physical side out and look to negate our attacking ability. Goals have been a problem for the Lions so far but new loan signing Chris Wood partnered with ex-player Andy Keogh should give them a bit more stab. If our attack performs we'll have too much for them

Looks 451 with Maynard as the lone striker. Looking forward to this. I've just sat down with a pint of Black Sheep to comment on a thread by Blue Sheep!
4-5-1 ? Sorry I think this is a negative approach. Looking at the bench Malky is looking to be defensive and going for it in the latter stages.
Defo he's got a certain someone challenging him, friendly competition can only help the team! First half seems 50/50! It looks like we might see Kimbo and Veronica at some point in the game
Why are you looking forward to Maynard running around all on his own chasing every scrap? Are we negtive or what!
Irrespective of who was playing I was looking forward to this Iggy. As much as anything I'm interested in the options and how the different formations pan out. My inference is that you aren't looking forward to it. Why's that?
