Thought these were the worst side we have played this season at their place - genuinely dogshit
But they always seem to give us a game at the arena
Scrappy 1-0 to the City

that would be my preferred lineup too
I'd go with this but bring Dasilva in for Bidwell.
Bidwell has looked leggy the last few games and far from his best. Dasilva played very well last night so probably deserves a go (otherwise what's the point in having a squad if good performances don't get rewarded).

Palmer up front and dropping deep to create space for the other to run in behind.
Would go Dasilva as he was brilliant last night but feel like Millwall are the type of team to hit cross field balls to his side and use his lack of height

You watched last night and your conclusion was that Palmer should start up front? It's not happening and that's not how we play.
We still use the forward to stretch the opposition and provide a threat in behind. That creates the space for O'Hare/Palmer coming from deeper.

Wright and Palmer interchangeable on the left/middle. Would create havoc for them. Both very good at the same role. If they try to man mark the pair of them it would leave lots of space for the others.

I’d be surprised if Thomas doesn’t come back in for added security defending set pieces.

Millwall have the worst goal scoring record outside the bottom three, but then their goals against isn't too dramatic either.
They always strike me as a dogged and well organised side, who have perhaps being over achieving the last few seasons?
No game is easy in this league and nothing is a given. I often think early KO's can knock players off their stride. But we should have enough to get all three points here. Expecting a tight game.

This is what I'd go with too.
Sakamoto has looked pretty shattered recently though, so wouldn't be surprised if he moves Wright out wide and puts Godden up front

I would be tempted with Da Silva with teams that sit back at the CBS which are hard to break down.

I think I'd rather stick with Lati over Thomas, purely because he seems to have a good understanding with Binks but otherwise this team looks proper.

Saka needs a rest. So I'd go for this, or Simms on the right and Wright in the middle. Either way, we have an opportunity now Wright is back and Palmer has done well on the left.
Stupid bloody kick off, doing block 4 this time for a change. Although I don’t give score predictions I feel we can beat anyone in this division on our day now.
Simms to score to boost his confidence, and if he does after ‘that’ glaring miss though I hope we don’t get the rather irritating shhhh with the finger.

Tavares did not look out of place when covering for Sakamoto might be worth persevering with until the end of season. Wondering if Sakamoto could do the Jamie Allen role once in a while?

Yes he has but it’s time to have a striker that sticks the ball in the net consistently. Might not be him but it certainly isn’t the other two at the moment.

Not suggesting we should try it but if we were really in a pinch we could deploy Da Silva on the left with Palmer switching to the right.
Simms played on the right against Stoke, plus a couple of sub appearances.

We're playing Tuesday/Sunday, I agree with everyone that Sakamoto looked tired last night bit there's no reason he shouldn't be playing at the weekend - especially against a fullback be almost retired last time.
