The 'big' boys join in for this round and a win takes us through to the last 16, so all to play for. Guess the Gaffer will again send out the fringe players. A problem though is knowing who is a 'fringe' player in the back four at the moment. Tim Ream is one of them but don't believe he'll be rushed back. So, cutting straight to the chase - ................................Rico.......... ...Christie..Chambers..Le Marchand..Bryan.. .............................O'Riley... .....Ayite...de la Torre..Cisse..Johansen.. ..............................Kamara... Possibly Francois instead of Johansen but went for Stefjo since he had the captain's armband in the last round. Millwall have two significant injuries and will be without our 'old' boys Hutchinson (knee) and Tunnicliffe (toe).
Tonight's quiz - Name the Formation Rico, Christie, S. Sessegnon, Ream, Le Marchand, Bryan, McDonald, Anguissa, de la Torre, Kamara, Ayite PS Young Harvey Elliot is on the bench.
What a night for the Academy, and great credit to Huw Jennings and Steve Wigley. Steven Sessegnon and Luca de la Torre start the game then Matt O'Riley comes on for Luca in the second. However, pride of place has to go to Harvey Elliott (replacing Floyd Ayite) - the youngest ever player, at 15 years 174 days, to play for the Club at the senior level. please log in to view this image
And meanwhile, each of our 3 goals were firsts for the Club. 1 Joe Bryan https://streamja.com/mz5K 2 Luca de la Torre 3 Cyrus Christie
Bit of a funny game as we were very comfortable from the start and it felt to me a bit like a training game. Good support from Fulham but so few from Millwall. Highlights were the first time scorers goals and young Harvey's debut. He only had less than 10 mins but looked confident and even had a shot. Also have to mention Ream back and looking good (but he wasn't exactly pressured) Haven't been to Millwall since the old Den and was a nice trip out.
