Team News for Millwall game

Think we'll be lucky to have Stewart on the bench.
Can't imagine Beesley or Robson will walk straight in, despite our injuries.
Both should be eager to prove themselves at this level, however.
Is Dale fit?
Connolly to partner Kenny in the middle?
Pardon my ignorance, but which bone are we referring to with regard to Sonny Carey?

tbh i would “chuck” Robson straight in, supposedly in great form, let’s see if he can make the step up again

Metatarsal I presume.
 
It'll be Connolly and Dougall in the middle, with Yates and Madine up front. I just hope there are no C19 issues.
 
Wide men likely to be Bowler and I’m wondering if he might start Dale over CJ?
Definitely not Mitchell…..

I’d expect it to be Connelly and Kenny in the middle
 
Robson has to play as we lose Dougall for Fulham next week.
Going against the best team in the league without our best midfielder he needs to get adjusted to his team mates.

Maybe but we simply have to put our strongest 11 out against Millwall and go for all 3 points.
No one is expecting anything the week after.
 
It would be Robson straight in for me. Madine and Yates upfront. James (if available) in for Husband at left back or maybe in the circumstances, left wing back. Our problems now also extend to the wide midfield positions, so it might make sense to go three centre halves with Dujon or Jordan at right wing back.

How about?:

Grimshaw
Sterling/Jordan, Marv, Blakey, Viking, James
Connolly (or Dale for creativity as this is nota line-up flowing with silky touches?), Robson, Kenny
Gaz, Jerry

New lad and Lavery to come on as and when needed.

Dujon Marv Dick
Gabriel Garbutt wing backs
Kenny Robbo CMs
Josh Gaz Jerry

Josh and Jerry in the channels to allow space out wide for Gabriel and Garbutt.

Lavery Beesley Dale off the bench. Connolly on bench to cover the CM and CD positions.

Sounds like James and Hubby both out for a few more weeks so we are vulnerable and short on the left.
 
I’ve given up trying to second guess his team selections. Never get it right.

Robson has been playing regularly in L1 so should be match fit, no reason why he shouldn't be in contention for a start.

Beesley and Stewart probably on the bench, maybe give them 30 minutes depending upon the match situation.

With all the transfer rumours I'd completely forgotten about Josh 😬
Writing him off before he even goes. Though personally I'm hoping he stays 👍

Pretty sure that's 12 players isn't it?

Grimshaw

Gabriel Marv Keogh Garbutt

Bowler King Kenny Robson Dale

Yates Madine

Not playing Madine against a ridiculously one dimensional large Millwall team is asking for trouble. But knowing Critch, he does what he wants.

So Lavery at left back it is.

You're right! I thought it seemed too good to be true...

I'm liking the 3 at the back idea but I can't be arsed to rejig it now. Quick look and not sure who to leave out cos I want to keep the back 3.

Over to Critch.

Edit! No, it's eleven.

Grim
Dujon Marv Keogh
Gabriel Kenny Robbo Garb
Josh Gaz Jerry
 
What strikes me is how many people are shoehorning Yates in to start, complete contrast to before Laverys injury

That looks like our strongest lineup right now.

Yeah but have you seen any of them?! He just can't defend. I believe he started out as a winger at United and they tried to convert him to a wing back but we've seen him there for Blackpool and it hasn't worked. In my opinion obviously.

Looks like Thorniley's coming back so the point is moot anyway.
 
What I remember about Robson is the he always seems.to play on the edge: over reaches in tackles, but of a hard nut, solid but a tad reckless. In short he’s just what you need if it becomes “tasty” in midfield. My first hope is that he lasts 90 mins with only one yellow to his name. Millwall will know he’s there, and he might fancy a job as full time enforcer, now that he’s back.

Yep pretty much agree with that. There is probably a small window of opportunity for him to show us he is capable in this division and I hope the lad grabs it with both hands.
 
Following Matt Smith's exit Millwall sold another player today, nicknamed "Bod" to Bolton. Apparently, they are lining up Jordan Hughill on-loan
 
I don’t think Pool can play Dale and Bowler at the same time. I think they did that at Derby, and it failed. Millwall will play 5 in midfield. So should we ;
Grimshaw
Sterling. Marvin. Viking
Bowler Connolly Dougall Robson Garbutt
Madine Yates.
