    Bristol City v Millwall​

    Bristol City midfielder Josh Brownhill is available again after serving a one-match ban, but striker Matty Taylor is set to be miss out through injury.

    Defender Bailey Wright (thigh) may feature for the first time this season.

    Visitors Millwall could be without striker Tom Elliott (hamstring), while midfielder Ryan Leonard is suspended.

    But centre-back Shaun Hutchinson and forward Lee Gregory will be assessed before kick-off and picking up knocks in Wednesday's loss to Birmingham City.

    Hosts City will also assess midfielder Liam Walsh before Sunday's fixture, after he suffered a knock to the knee as the Robins won at Ipswich on Wednesday.

    Well this was the game I expected us to get a draw or win a loss is not acceptable.

    Ipswich I thought we would lose so we are in bonus at present,however the next four games after the Millwall game I expect zero points.

    So I expect nothing less than a win tomorrow if not then SL should pull the plug.

    For clarity , you would have been fine had we lost to Ipswich and then beat Millwall , but the other way around you would get rid of the manager , that’s bizarre RR .

    Apparently tried doing the 3 lions but were chased away according to Facebook media stories.Apparantly story's now saying Millwall were in the luckwell pub and city fans tried getting them out

    Update apparently Millwall have been given a good hiding down there.Loads of police down there apparently

    No I said if we lost at Ipswich and at home to Millwall time to walk.I expected three points out the two games maximum.Six would be great but sadly the next four zero points.

    Preview & Predicted XI as Millwall head to Bristol City

    Millwall go to Bristol City on Sunday afternoon (1.30pm) looking for their first away win of the season.
    As this game takes place a day later than the other Championship games, Millwall know they could start the day in the bottom three. A point for either Bolton or Hull on Saturday will see The Lions drop into the relegation places ahead of kick off.
    All that is keeping the South Londoners out of the drop zone at present is goal difference. And they head to Bristol looking for a first away win in the league since April. Neil Harris has stated that he “expects” his team to go out and win games away from home. Starting on Sunday.
    Manager Neil Harris will be forced into a least one change as record signing Ryan Leonard is suspended. He will miss the game after being sent off against Birmingham on Wednesday night. Leonard, received two bookings inside eight minutes as Millwall fell to their tenth defeat of the season.
    That paves the way for Ryan Tunnicliffe to start for the first time since September 1. He performed well when coming off the bench on Wednesday night and will partner Shan Williams in midfield.
    Lee Gregory came off with tightness in his stomach and groin area, he will be assessed and is a doubt. Shaun Hutchinson also came off with a cut but he should be fine and make the starting 11. Neil Harris said after Wednesday’s defeat that he wasn’t sure on both players but hoped they’d be fit for Sunday.
    Tom Bradshaw and Tom Elliott are both ruled out so Neil Harris may be forced to start Aiden O’Brien and Steve Morison up front.
    Predicted Millwall team to face Bristol City:
    Archer; Romeo, Hutchinson, Cooper, Meredith; J Wallace, Williams, Tunniclffie, Ferguson; O’Brien, Morison

    A fan on OTIB report Millwall have lost 7 of their last 9 away games - they drew the other 2.
    Doesn't bode well for Millwall today.

    Well SQUASHER and I both predicted 11 points before the start of the season and today SUNDAY is the first opportunity to build toward that tally...as for SL pulling the plug I don't think that is likely any time soon .. we are, and a more realistic approach than being bottom JUST x points away is we are 6 points above the danger zone and 6pts below the top zone AND TODAYS GAME WILL NOT CHANGE THAT SHOULD WE LOSE ……

    Apparently it was as Millwall fans were inside, City fans followed them there apparently after Millwall fans tried going into the three lions but ran off

    I hate stats like this, City have a terrible habit of breaking other club records for them!

    1-1. Both scored by Millwall.
    According to the BBC stats we had loads more possession and shots - but only managed ONE on target - which wasn’t for our goal either!!
    They had 3 shots all game - but all 3 were on target, one of them scoring.
    We need to practice our finishing.
