Millwall vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[tomd2103]

Seems like Jedinak is struggling for tomorrow, so there is no other option than Bree at CB I guess.  The goalkeeper situation could be a real issue now, as Nyland's confidence could be low after being dropped and Bunn proved again on Tuesday night that he isn't really up to it.  With that in mind, team to look something like:

                                        Bunn / Nyland

Elmohamady           Tuanzebe                  Bree              Hutton

                                              Whelan

                         Grealish                           McGinn

Bolasie                                  Abraham                         Kodjia


I've put Whelan in for an extra bit of experience, but the back four and keeper look weak.

if we get anything out of the game it will be in spite of K Mac. Total twat when it comes to stepping in to manage a real game.

Also in case we need a penalty taker!

Two in goal isn't a bad shout.

With that defence and chester out i can only see a millwall win. Think the players will be a bit flat too after this week. Maybe they will anounce someone amazing taking over before the match and we'll see a reaction from the players but as it stands 2-0

Agreed with this, Milwall are and old school '4-4-2 bombard the CB's with crosses' type team and realistically we're really going to struggle.

No manager. No captain. Likely one fit CB. Team seem down and it's Milwall away. I think this would be one of the most surprising wins in the last few years if we pull this off.

Fuck the fuckers let's 'av 'em!

That would be my team too.

I'd agree with most of it but I think I'd go for Taylor (despite him being poor) ahead of Hutton because that defence is the same on that Preston shat all over a couple of days ago. Having a 'proper' left back might help a little with the organisation. I'd also start Whelan ahead of Thor because I'd want a 'wise head' sat just in front of the 2 kids in the middle of the defence helping organise them and Barny doesn't offer that.

Maybe, but these two? Combined, they don't even count as one.

[Chipsticks]

Curious to see who captain will be.

Personally I'd give it to Grealish.

[Lastfootstamper]

I'd give it to McGinn. I think he'd thrive with the armband.

[Matt Collins]

No jedinak or Chester?

Defeat

[SoccerHQ]

We'll lose this. Millwall haven't won for ages but seeing highlights of them v Forest and they were getting plenty of crosses into the box which we badly struggled with the other night. Also work very hard and will close us down lots in midfield.

2-1 them.

[achilles]

Can't see anything but a Millwall win, 4 - 2.

KMac in charge (that is enough in itself) and Millwall are a brute of a side that defensively we will have absolutely no answer too.

[Hookeysmith]

The post Steve Bruce era begins at Millwall. Just hoping Kmac doesn’t pick Gabby or Lescott. I’ll go for a 2-1 win and the following team: 4-1-4-1 - BB at DM and Jack back as AM behind Abraham.

Nyland
Elmo
Hutton
Tuanzabee
Bree
Bjarnason
McGinn
Bolasie
Hourihane
Grealish
Abraham

Subs:
Kodjia
El Ghazi
Taylor
Whelan
