    After a pretty inept performance against a well drilled Baggies, we welcome Millwall to Portman road. Back to winning ways, although I don't think it will last long as we have some nightmare games ahead of us. I think Tuenzebe and Luongo will start in this one. Town 3-1 winners, Chaplin with all 3.

    Hladky
    Williams
    Tuenzebe
    Burgess
    Leif
    Morsy
    Luongo
    Chappers
    Burns
    Broadhead
    Hirst

    It will be interesting to see how Axel shapes up, likely to start.

    3-1 win, and we dont ship an early goal!

    The games are going to come thick and fast now. As Spanish says, we’ve got a really tough run for the next month.

    For me, this is one of the more winnable matches. I think we’ll be a bit more solid in this one and just look to get three points. I’m going for a 1-0 Town win.

    Can't see what hladky has done wrong to warrant dropping.
    As for ladapo and Jackass....wtf, that would be suicidal!!!!!
    I knew you wouldn't drop pedestrian Wolfenden <laugh><laugh>

    Hdlaky
    Williams
    Tuanzebe
    Edmundson
    Davis
    Morsy
    Luongo
    Hutchinson
    Chaplin
    Broadhead
    Hirst

    I don’t think we need to overcomplicate things or make widespread changes. I do think Tuanzebe and Edmundson would be better equipped to deal with Millwall’s more direct style of play. I haven’t been impressed with either centre back in the last few matches and they’re a key factor in how many goals we’ve shipped lately. Let’s give the other two a chance to stake a first team spot.

    Luongo in for Taylor, as we’ll need someone with better ball control in front of the two centre-backs. I thought Burns looked tired last night, so I’d be minded to give Hutchinson a start and really run at that Millwall defence. Other than that, unchanged eleven. However, if there is another poor game from Hdlaky in mid-week - I’d replace with Walton against Coventry.

    We weren’t able to play our usual game last night and our more direct style of play meant that the attacking four were feeding off scraps. Getting Luongo back in the starting eleven hopefully means we can play on the ground with more purpose.

    Conceding floods of goals.

    Hirst has been ineffective of late, easy to stop and powderpuff in front of goal. Chaplin also hasn’t been at his best. Time for more energy to our forward play and to make the best of a bad job, even if Plan B is not that appealing.

    I think you will find the stats point to hladky being the best keeper in the division!!

    Sky sports caught onto all the crazy scorelines and set the TV schedules for us to be on 6 times before the new year.

    Is it another game on Sky?

    I'm not exactly getting my money's worth from Town TV subscription, feels like ages since I've actually watched a game live!

    At least the full replay is available a few hours later, unlike iFollow, where you wouldn't get the replay. Yesterday I just avoided the score and watched the match in the evening. Still better live though.

    Yep, we’re the main Wednesday match so I don’t think there is any TownTV coverage.

    Just a heads up, we might be the main match when we play Watford, but I think it might just be a red button game. I’m pretty sure we’re the main match in our three consecutive December games against Norwich, Leeds, and Leicester.

    It’s a minimum 12 hour round trip for me to Portman Road these days.
