Millwall v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[UK Redsox]

I only just realised that we there are EPL games mid-week. Thought we had a week break until the Newcastle game. If PL doesn't play a weakened team at Millwall, then he has clearly lost the plot.

What is our "weakened" team ? Based on recent weeks, its probably basically the team that's been playing

However, assuming that we're not bothered about the result. How about..............

Given

Lihaj
Clark
Williams
Stevens

Carruthers
Bannan
Ireland
Johnson

Burke
Bent

That would do me. But I bet you any money that he starts Vlaar, Delph, Weimann and maybe N'Zogbia. All players who need to be rested for the Newcastle game.

[N'ZMAV]

Any team we pick is a weakened team.

[eamonn]

Weakened = Stephens/ Lichaj/ Carruthers/ Bannan/ Holman/ Ireland/ Bent, right?

[Chico Hamilton III]

I'm taking my boots with me. If our team gets any weaker I reckon I'll get a game.

[regular_john]

Would like to see Bowery start

@WMPVillaFC  are saying we've sold 1600

[PaulWinch again]

It saddens me that the club is being run so badly now that I don't care about this game. I never thought I'd feel that about the FA Cup. I just want us to get on the with league games so we can face our fate whatever it is.

[London Villan]

Those 1600 deserve medals. Fair play to them.

[Boz]

Haha I laughed at that , who else could be play other than the Under 21 team.Our squad is woefully small

Might be a good shout, they'd probably be a lot more up for it.

I live in London so don't have an excuse. I'll give my medal to someone else.

[Small Rodent]

I'm looking forward to in an odd way. Especially as I'm sat with my Millwall mates in their end.

I am going on a pub crawl along the river with a group of serious drinkers I used to work with near Blackfriars Bridge. 

Would not be at all surprised if we get ensconced in The Anchor and not bother setting sail for Sarf Berminsea. 

[Chico Hamilton III]

I'm going for a Villa win

Interesting stat - Millwall's heaviest ever defeat was 9-1. Against Villa. In The Cup

This is the first season ever that I haven't really given a toss about the cups. I said the same before we faced Citeh in the LC. Obviously I did start to care once we reached the Semis but realised early on that this season is all about the league.
