Pope John XXIII
Vital Football Legend
This is it; first day (night) of the season against a disgraceful club whose presence in this division is akin to scrubbing the toilet; has to be endured far too regularly and never pleasant.
Meanwhile, Marinakis invites you to enjoy a feast of new technology hosting their glitches to 27,000 patiently queueing trickies. Vendors are armed with their £3 programmes to shove in your face should you get so desperate.
Millwall have invited six new players to their prehistoric cave in Laaandan. This now ups the number of players they have that I have heard of to three- Ryan Tunnicliffe, Aiden O'Brian (but I might be thinking of someone else) and Steve Morison, better know for starring in the recent movie War Horse
For those that don't know Morison, he's the sort of **** that invariably scores in the 70th minute of a drab game by rising above a sleeping Mancienne for a fairly innocuous cross
Forest will play some weird form of 3-4-3 cum 4-2-3-1 in which it quickly becomes baffling where a few of them are playing. Draw a position from a hat for Ben Brereton.
Interesting tactical question will be whether we start with our own annoying warhorse **** in Murphy and then inject a bit of mischief later on with Cummings: or do we wear them out worrying about Cummings's running (no laughing!) and then bring Murphy on to bruise them up later.
Be interesting to see if we start with Vaughan and Cohen or Vaughan and Greek-guy-who-is-not-a-DCM
Weather will be a sunny 17°c, dropping to a comfortable 15° by the end of the game. Humidity will be around 60% with around 1012 microbars of pressure. The 13mph winds might help a McKay cross to its target
Forest have a great first day record. We have not lost at home on the first day in the second tier since 1955 and have won 4 and lost 1 on the opening day in the last 5 years. Millwall have won the last three here though, all of them annoying.
First game is meaningless. We won't be a great team if we smash it and we won't be a bad one if we lose. Game 5 really is when you start to feel like points count for something as you see someone at the top of the league suddenly out of your reach. Having said that, this is our most winnable home league match for a while.
I leave you with an inspirational image, this time of what we are up against- an image of Millwall fans planning their journey to the City Ground.
Enjoy the game
