On to Millwall then

Completely different side to Sheff Utd, but, as we know all to well, this is a home game, so anything can happen.

Millwall, are another side, who, a bit like Bolton, will cause us problems. They're not great, but, have a manager who'll get them fired up, and they'll be well organised.

For me, our pace should be to much for them, they've players like Hutchison and Tunicliffe in their side, but, if they're allowed to bully us, then, we all know what will happen.

What do you think we need to be doing in the game to win it, and how should Slavisa be setting up his side ?

Sessegnon, Kamara and Ojo as the front 3, Millwall are a hard working side, but nothing more than that, they have next to no pace in their side whatsoever, our front 3 should terrorise them,
Much as I said before the Bolton game, this is a big game for Jokanovic, our home form under him has been abysmal and it's time that corner was turned starting this Saturday,
Defeat or a draw will be very hard to defend on here Saturday night, confidence must be very high now so let's carry it on to Saturday

They are the three I would like to see start. We have to be ruthless on Saturday, start at a high tempo. No slow passing sideways tippy tappy nonsense, and slow build up, that has only just won us one game at home all season.
They will want us and expect us to play that way to buy them time to tuck in, funnel back and have two solid banks of four. Whilst we waste time passing back and sideways.
It's time we have a winning result at home, and after last night, we should have the confidence and appetite to put them to the sword in the first half.
Our players have pace to burn and more.  Then we keep our boot firmly on their neck in the second half.

We need to keep playing as direct as we've been vs Derby and Sheff Utd. Less of the pretty stuff past the halfway mark, and more getting the feet to our players up top. Would love to see Sess and Ojo bag a couple more.

Agree with that, but will they be picked, if they aren't Joka will come under more pressure on here!!

Sess and Ojo have to start, and I would throw in Kamara ahead of Fonte, if Ayite has hamstring trouble. In fact I would be tempted to do it anyway. They won't like having to handle a rampant Kamara, as opposed to Fonte who I don't think it's the sort of match he would make an impact.
Perhaps when legs are tired Fonte could have a go in the last 20 mins, but for me I can see Kamara along with Sess and Ojo doing far more damage in the opening half.

Wasnt that a police series on tv in the 70s, although I thought one of them was called Starsky.

I think Fonte deserves more of a chance.
If the team starts winning that may help him to find his best role.

But I think Kamara  maybe deserves a start on Saturday - he's looked hungry, and effective with his pace and strength in his last two games as sub - specially last Tuesday.


Woolly Mammoth

Let's hope between Kebano, Kamara, Fonte, Sess, Ojo and Ayite, whoever starts or whoever finishes, we have enough pace, power, guile and tenacity to breach the Millwall defence, whilst keeping them quiet up the other end.

Players with that much vaunted 'Championship experience' that weren't good enough for us.

You can be sure that they will be inspired by a return to the Cottage and will play the game of their lives.

Undoubtedly!

But they still aren't good enough, despite their experience.   :dft012:

After the wonder strike near the end which for some obscure reason was disallowed, I would start AK47. He is hungry to score. Fonte works hard in a Bryan Ruiz sort of way but doesn´t seem to have the ability to shoot.
