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.

 

 

Have they still got 12 players out? Tried looking up injury list and couldn't find much. That would certainly help us, we seem to have plenty out as well but a bigger squad. Missing Charles and Downes does leave us light in the middle. 

I'm going to say now that a draw here would be a good result , only conceded once in last 5 home games

I watched them last night and although they made hard work of beating Sheff W, it was a comfortable win in the end. In a simple comparison with our performance at home to Sheff W, 3 weeks ago, they had double the shots at goal and double the XG that we had against the same opposition.   

They are still suffering from an injury crisis which has caused recent results to drop, without that I'm pretty sure that they would be sat in 2nd.   We should treat them with respect. 

Plus, Saints have yet to beat any of the teams currently sitting in the top 9 of the Championship, so this is a good opportunity to demonstrate that the recent upturn in form is no fluke. 

I did think that their defence looked a little susceptible to quick breaks which has been a forte of Saints in the last couple of games. Looking forward to it ....

Assuming there is a press conference for this? If so is it today?

The onus and expectations of their fans will also be to be on the front foot against us which should also help, with plenty of space for Scienza and Fellows to exploit. Their win against Stoke is good form, although i'd suggest TE's Saints would have taken Stoke to the cleaners. Two nil Saints. A goal early on (Aziz) and one as they try for an equaliser late on (Robinson).

I hope it’s another boring second half.

Bermondsey is like a load of 3rd generation pikeys all in the same place.  The most horrible bunch of cunts you could ever wish to meet.  They deserve the shite housing they have, not that many of the scroungers pay any rent.  They’ll be on the piss big-time on Saturday celebrating their bumper pay-rise from Rachel the Twat.  Won’t even notice what’s going on on the pitch.  
Which is lucky for them because we are going to win by a fucking mile.

Fucking horrible pikey cunts.

Possibly one of the best descriptions of visiting an away ground and meeting their wonderful supporters I've read for a long time. Most inviting !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I lived near there a generation ago, and there were very few Millwall supporters and alot of city workers. Same for Deptford, Surrey Quays and Rotherhithe.

I'm already buzzing for this. This is what supporting a football team should feel like. 

[Nolan]

Tonda is intense when focusing on Blackmore in the press conference, but he cant help breaking out in smiles at points.

one of them was when Romeu was mentioned, and it could mean a Jander / Romeu partnership in the middle of the pitch. 

[LGTL]

Scienza a doubt which is a shame. 

[saintant]

Tonda loves London. His 3rd win there in a row coming up. 3-1 Saints.

[skintsaint]

Romeu in the match day squad.

I've a feeling Tonda may start Oriol for this one. He'll have now had a good look at him on the training pitch and maybe he's seen enough to decide he can trust him alongside Caspar with Downes suspended. He did give quite a big smile when Adam Blackmore asked if it was good to have Oriol in the dressing room and his reply was along the lines of 'it's good to have him on the pitch also'

[Saint Fan CaM]

Mmm, hoping that the news of Scienza not playing is just mind games because he is the conduit for so much of our new found attacking flair. Having said that, I have confidence that if he is out, Tonda will be able to devise a winning formula with the players at his disposal. Having Romeu alongside Jander will be massive…he will not allow our midfield and defence to be bullied. Still sticking with a 1-2 scoreline.

Romeu, Milwall ...

 

Match made in heaven .... 

[Pamplemousse]

If Leo isn't 100% I'd have him on the bench. If we can get 30 mins out of him, it could be lethal against a tiring defence. If Fraser is fit I'd start him on the left, he's just as direct.

What about Jay Robinson?

Is Downes suspended?

Yes Downes missing this game

Downes picked up a 5th booking on Tuesday, so I presume suspended for Millwall.

Defo Robinson for Scienza if the main man needs a rest

[Lighthouse]

Have to assume it'll be Bragg and JRob coming in, if Leo is indeed out. Can't see Romeu going from not in the squad to starting within four days. 

[macca155]

Why is everyone calling for Romeo to play. Bragg was immense at Charlton surely he gets the call first. Bring Romeu on later in the game 

Some rose tinted glasses going on here. Great player for us but his legs were definitely going 2 years ago so he's hardly going to be the Messiah now. Effective cameos to settle the ship is probably more his thing now.

No you have to start with Romeu and then take him off after his yellow card 😉

I'm after a ticket for tomorrow and happy to meet near the ground.  COYS!
