The Lions versus the Original Lions Pointless Pre Match Thread.

[darren woolley]

I'm going for a 1-1 draw and everybody gets out alive.

[Clark W Griswold]

It is pointless and that's how we'll come away. 1-0 to them. Bruce might save a couple I reckon.

[wittonwarrior]

Well they outplayed our first team at Villa Park, so as to our second string  3-1 defeat.  Just can't see us getting anything from this, however history says something else.  In 1973 we went to Orient on a friday night, they needing victory to get promotion over Carlisle and what do we do score and come away with a 1-1 draw - so perhaps.

As for Jack - no way do I want to see him on the pitch, we can't afford for him to miss the play offs.

They'll be out for this. When we were locked in last time, having exhausted hop-scotch on the play ground, I was chatting to a Met officer and he was saying they always like to turn out when a big club comes down. You've got the last day of the season aspect too.

As to the team, I would deviate too much from the strongest XI.

Johnstone

Hutton
Terry
Chester
Elmo

Jedinak

Thor
Onomah

Lansbury

Kodjia
Davis

Rest Jack, Adomah, Davis and Snoddy, flood that midfield and meet them physically with Davis, Onomah and Jedinak.

So all of the Davis triplets are involved ?

[cdbearsfan]

I'd go:

Johnstone

Bree
Samba
Chester (c)
Clark

O'Hare
Lansbury
Bjarnason
Green

Kodjia
Hepburn-Murphy.

[Hookeysmith]

As there is absolutely nothing riding on this game then I would make this the first team choice (although the FA would find something wrong and punish us)

Bunn

Elmo
Samba
Terry (he needs match sharpness)
Bree

Jedinak

Hourihanne
O'Hare
Lansbury
Kodjia

Hogan

[Lobsterboy]

I think we should rest a few but I don't see the sense in making wholesale changes when we have the chance to go into the play offs with some momentum.

I would go with something like Johnstone - Elmohamady Chester Jedinak Hutton - Bjarnason - Lansbury Onomah - Kodjia Hogan RHM Subs - Bunn, Samba, Bree, Whelan, Hourihane, Davis, Grabban

[PaulWinch again]

No injuries please and a couple of goals for Kodjia would do.

[tomd2103]

Use it as a chance to give game time to some players who we might have to rely on in the play offs.  I would probably start Bunn to give him some time in case Johnstone gets an injury, give Jedinak another game at CB, give Bjarnason and Onomah a game in midfield, give Adomah a start and probably most importantly, start Kodjia up front.     

[Brend'Watkins]

We’ll probably win 5-0 with a Hutton hatrick.

Sorry I meant Grabban as one of the rested quartet.

[footyskillz]

With it being the PL under 23 cup final on the Friday maybe those involved may be rewarded with a place on bench but can't see them necessarily featuring apart from maybe Davies RHM or Bree. However I think have enough squad to play.


I can see Kodjia, Samba, Lansbury getting 90 mins under belts and Hogan involved too.
Maybe be a case of playing the system away from home v likelihood boro without the personnel as practice.

From what I see milwall struggle more at home and also don't finish or create chances.
I'll go for a 1-3

Apparently the "OB" need to check Grabban's kit bag given the way he looks now.

Backwards fucking twats.

[SoccerHQ]

2-0 loss to get everyone on here confident for the play offs!

Millwall are strong at home, we won't be bothered about this and will put out a scratch team, would be surprised if we got anything.
