Will we return to Earth in a graceful glide or hitting the ground like Wile E Coyote?

Never an easy place to go to. I remember going to the old Den. The new stadium perhaps not so intimidating but the locals can still be scary.
Millwall not on agreat run so we may be playing them at a good time.
City 1-0
Riza caught me out with his team selection yesterday, but I think he will make a couple of changes..I am assuming ODowda is out.
Alnwick
Ng
Goutas
Daland
Bagan
Robertson
Siopis
Chambers
Robinson
Willock
Colwill

I'd prefer yesterday's team with Bagan for O'Dowda if he's injured

Agreed ... it would be good to keep the same team with Ng on the bench and Bagan starting.

I think you could be right with this, resting a few after yesterday's mental and physical exertion. Rino and Olliie need a recharge.

Those coming in will certainly want to impress and all of a sudden it does seem like we have a bit of depth in the squad.

The 'Wall 1-2 The 'Diff



Edit: reckon he might even rest Robbo for the new boy

Only change I’d make from Saturday starting 11, is Bagan at LB
I can’t imagine too many players needing or wanting a rest.
You’re always playing to keep the shirt, and with options now available every player has to maintain the standards set to keep their position.

Great to have options available now, I hope we see one ore two more coming in during the transfer window

"Resting" Robinson would be crazy. He must be buzzing. 1st name on team sheet.

Re: MILLWALL V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Ashford looked shattered at the end, maybe Willock in for him to give him a rest?

Robinson does need to be managed but he'll be buzzing, start him and bring on Salech if needed

I think in our formation & style the two wide players probably get through the most work so it wouldn;t be a surprise to see Willock start. But as others have said if everyone is fit - don't change anything.

Re: MILLWALL V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

One of my thoughts after Saturday's game was that Colwill will be lucky to get back into the side. He's got talent, sure, but we played our best stuff without him on the pitch.

Agree with this, That must have taken a lot of emotional energy out of Ashford, local lad, he'd have felt tat bit of pressure, he wouldn't have been able to get away from it either, not like most of the other players. Although i don't want to see him 'Rested' he's maturing into a fine footballer. Hoping it was just the 'occasion' and if so, none of us could blame him.

Re: MILLWALL V CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

What is all this talk about rest? We're talking about professional athletes in the prime of their lives. Can't do 90 minutes twice a week. Load of rubbish. If you talk to them I bet they're all raring to go every week.
