When was the last time we won 5 league games in a row? 
 

I can’t recall any under Martin or Koeman, or even Poch. Maybe in one of our back to back promotion seasons?

I think we’ll be able to overwhelm these guys. 0-3 Saints.

 

winning five in a row surely secures him the job with an announcement on Sunday

We should be good for another win on paper, but bear in mind that it is not allowed for Saints to have nice things and the footballing gods will not permit this to happen.

I’m not sure, the last few weeks feel like we’ve stockpiled a ton of good karma from some terrible years and now we’re using it all at once 😂

2001 Premier League under Hoddle.

the Everton game was the last game before Spurs got Hoddle from us.

Missed our end of season run in League One. So count my previous post as the best in the top two divisions 

and we continued this one into the first 4 games of 11/12.

I don't know much about Millwall this season - does much the same again from us finish them off? Their results don't suggest they are anything other than a normal mid-table side.

Ivanovic up front is a handful my Brum supporting mate said they ripped them apart and we could too if given the space to play.

We missed a few chances last night that we may need in a tight game but we have options on both wings in Leo and Tom . Downes out suspended so may need Romeu although Bragg again looked good in his cameo last night.

Millwall are a physical side, could have done with Downes waiting one more game to be suspended to get Romeu up to speed. Perhaps Aribo will feature. 

Will follow their game vs Sheffield Wednesday tonight, expect a win for Millwall but hope Wednesday make it hard for them. 

3 points would put Millwall up into 4th or 5th so cannot underestimate them.

Looking forward to seeing Caspar Jandar boss the midfield in yet another match. I hope we can keep him under the radar because I believe he's the player in our squad the big clubs would want most. He plays his midfield role to perfection and is the cog in the wheel we would most miss if he got injured.

Surely it's Bragg in for Downes and then, aside from managing any knocks, the only questions are:

- Quarshie or Stephens 

- Manning or Welly.

I guess if they are a super-physical team you could build a case for Aribo instead of Bragg, or even Azaz, but I doubt it.

I’d expect we will revert to the Charlton lineup, Bragg back in for Downes and Stephens in for Quarshie as expect his pace not such a requirement.

Neither is his ball watching

As Millwall are one of my local teams I’ve seen them a few times this season and have been unimpressed - Ivanovic is overrated and their defence can be ponderous. They’re physical and well-drilled but I saw Azaz have a good game against them in August when Boro’ won 3-0. If we play the slick attacks we have in the past few games then we have a good chance of a result. And it’s not the hostile place it once was….

They’re 9th in the table with a GD of -5, which for reference is worse than Blackburn in 18th. Whilst obviously points dictate the table overall, GD is probably a better measure of how a team is playing. They’ve certainly been on the wrong end of some pretty crap defeats.

It's likely they'll be 4th in the table come 10pm this evening, think that's very impressive with the squad they have

Same side as against Charlton for me. Quarshie is just too ponderous on the ball and his passing is very predictable. Need to move it quickly as the away team. 
 

Have to be confident of picking up another win. Too much to ask to have a third game in a row won by half time?

Horrible place to go to but I think we'll just edge a tight game 2-1. Nice feeling right now, let's keep it going. 

I like it - better than their old ground - now that was horrible.

Can’t see anything other than a win and Eckhert sealing his claim on the top job. This despite Millwall being a difficult opponent. It will not be as convincing as the last two games though and I suspect the officials being a bit shit will influence matters. 1-2 Saints.

How has Smallbone been doing for them? I see he's not in the squad tonight against Wednesday so is he injured?

Pretty sure TE said he's a couple of weeks away. Imagine he'll be back just in time for the Christmas period.

Wednesday ran Millwall close tonight, they were rescued by their top scorer. We have more quality, let's hope we can show it again on Saturday.

Bragg coped fine at Charlton, and they were similar to Millwall. I'm sure he'll get the nod over Aribo. That Downes booking was definitely planned, he was hunting for it at one stage.

Stephens in for Quarshie would be harsh. After the 1st 10 minutes I thought he had a good game. Jack's passing may be better but Quarshie's pace adds another element to the defence.

Big question mark over Wellington for me. He looked right off the pace on Tuesday. Manning delivered two beautiful set pieces as well. I'm sure he'll start with aim to give Wellington some more minutes.

I wonder when Archer will be fit. We need him in place of Downs, as there is no real back up at present. All very well him having these odd 10 minute cameos, when the game is won, but if Armstrong pulls a fetlock, we really don't want to see him come on. He just isn't ready, Oyekunle is probably a more effective back up.

Saints win 6,7 -0 

Someone trying to get himself a mention on the Millwall forums…

Apparently they were a bit ropey first half at home to Sheff Wed but really upped it in the second. I’m sure they’ve done their homework and will be aware how we’ve ripped the oppo apart early on recently but if we haven’t got that comfortable lead by halftime we may also need to be on it a bit more after.

Decent side but may have one or two injuries and can we keep another clean sheet? Doubtful so will go 1-2, away-day joy.

Don’t need them talking about me on their forums when they’re hid in their pubs for years from the DEF

Watched the majority and can't say I was impressed by them at all. Yes they improved in the second half but play like we have been and it'll be another win. It'll be interesting to see their game plan against us. Do they put men behind the ball or press us? Can't imagine it'll be the latter given how we took Charlton apart last weekend.

Fair point. Any truth in the rumours of the DEF fellas coming out of retirement for one last jolly? Tickets blagged in the Dockers they say, anyway, understand you can’t say too much, loose lips etc.

I don’t want too say too much to alert the old bill but my sources tell me the B&Qs in Bermondsey have sold out of wood panels and nails. how to board up your house to protect yourself is the most searched video on YouTube in E14. Plus there seem to be an awful of surprise great aunts birthdays parties in that area this weekend. Make of that what you will.

Watched them on Saturday, I was expecting a similar organisation to the likes of Stoke.

Ultimately, having 12+ players out of your squad does have its obvious disadvantages and it showed. They were poor.

Ivanovic is an interesting player, similar to Mitrovic/ industrial focal point that can bully and finish.
