Is anyone actually arsed?

Look what we could have won, if only we had potted the prize pillock and got Gary Rowett a couple of months ago i'm sure we would have been flying in the top half of the Championship!

Anyroad, i'll be a mug and go for a 2-1 win, and think we'll come from behind to do it, this board used be rammed with comments on Friday afternoons, even the happy clappers have given up. :downer:
 
Cook is banned from the touchline, and considering how well we played against arguably the best team in the league this season while he was also banned, I am feeling more optimistic on the game without him barking at the players and the ref every 30 seconds. Only time will tell.

I also have to two grandchildren that won’t come any moreyour right very sad
 
Me and my young un will be there watching the latest horror show unfold - though at 9 yrs old he seems to have already lost the thrill of anticipation and optimism leading up to games... more of a resigned shrug and we’ll probably lose but ok then when I say we’re going to the match.

I’ll counter that with an optimistic 2-1 win on the basis we won’t keep a clean sheet with Naismith at left back (like him in centre but nowhere else) but we game em a decent game at theirs that we should’ve won.

Dunkley to score a hattrick.
 
Millwall are having a good season and are just outside the playoffs.They are always tough to play against,so I'm expecting a very competitive,close game.Under Rowett they have developed and can play a possession based game as well as going long and being physical.They are adaptable and can play different formations with either a back 3 or a 4.Jed Wallace is a dangerous player for them going forward and Ryan Woods who they signed on loan has a decent reputation in CM.
But we are at home and have some decent players ourselves so Cook needs to be positive with his selection like he did against Boro and not PNE and have 4 attacking players on the pitch from the start.This will give Millwall something to worry about.I'd play with a back 4 .I would prefer it if he left Lowe and Massey out.
I'd go:
Marshall
Byrne,Kipre,Balogun,Pearce(Kendrick says he's not injured as far as he knows)
Morsy, Williams
Pilks,Joffy,Naismith
Moore
With Pilks and Joffy seemingly only able to play an hour due to Pilks fitness and Joffys age/development,the attacking subs will be crucial and also play their part,with Dobre and Mlakar being a possible option off the bench.I'd play Jacobs/bring him on ahead of Lowe and Massey.
We played 442 at The Den and did well,so that could also be an option,so Garner could start/be brought on up front with Moore.
I'll go for a 2-1 tics win IF Cook picks a positive line up like the last home game(and we get a half decent ref)!!
Come on tics!!!
 
Massive game tomorrow, I wasn’t impressed with Millwall last time we played them but they still drew against us. Since that they’ve climbed the table and are obviously a good side. We need to be at our best to win, Cook needs to go for it and ensure our better technical players start rather than going long ball. Millwall’s centre halves will just eat up any long balls, we need to keep it on the deck. I’d also worry about Naismith coming up against Jed Wallace. Last time i saw him play against him Wallace ripped him apart and caused mayhem. Cook should remember this and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
 
Is Robinson or pearce fit today Naismith gets ripped to shreds of any decent right winger as stated before everyone can see this apart from cook

You should therefore expect 🤡 to throw Naismith under the bus - again. He will get schooled by Wallace again.
I would prefer the U23 specialist LB to be selected if Robinson / Pearce are MiA rather than play Naismith there - he's honest but never a LB as previously proven.
Look forward to seeing him later 😉
 
Actually would not mind seeing Naismith on the left wing today, will atleast offer a good cross compared to invisible Lowe, Massey, or Jacobs. Naismith was good when at centre back but we have Balogen now who looked very assured. Naismith while at left back is dodgy at best, ofcourse he is not too bad on the ball going forward but his defending is abysmal, which is normal considering he is a winger. Play an actual left back in Pearce or Robinson.
