would 8 wins 5 loses and 6 draws be enough??? We'd be on 85 points with a massive goals difference.
Plus we've only lost 4 games out of 27!!

Most likely yes

If Boro and Ipswich keep pace we might need more but if just one of them falls off we are back into lower to mid 80s getting autos territory

Make Rudoni stay central, it made a massive difference.

Make Rudoni stay central, it made a massive difference.

It certainly did, he was drifting out wide to much first half hence why we were getting over run in there.He came inside second half and kept getting into pockets of space and created some decent chances.I think since he came back he has been drifting out wide far to much Hopefully FL tells him to stay inside tonight.

It says no computer tablets on the prohibited items (seen a few of those in the family zone anyway!) But doesnt mention laptops... might be worth a call to check!

Yep that will be a no

 

[David O'Day]

The pile on has proved his point to be fair, but this isn't the right place for it.

There's a match today. The off topic exists for a reason and it's annoying that this thread is 9 pages long, and you have to scroll through mostly crap.

I expect us to rotate the team a little bit, but wouldn't be against Esse starting again. Whilst he would be a good weapon to bring off the bench, he had that level of energy going forwards that we have been missing for a while.

Has it fuck proved his point.

I'd Esse if only because he used to play for them.

 

[skybluebristol]

Yep that will be a no

Not so sure. I used to commute to games directly from work in London and would bring my backpack with me. This included 2 laptops and a couple of drinks bottles too. Never got more than a cursory check inside. All I had to do was say I'd come straight from work and they let me in no problem at all

 

[Briles]

I'm going for HT 1-1 FT 3-1, Haji Brace and one for Rudoni

My work laptop has been to the football and no one seemed to care.

It was during quieter times though

 

[shmmeee]

Let’s be honest it will entirely depend on which steward you get checking you. Some would let you in with a full set of kitchen knives and fireworks others would take the flask, blanket, and walking stick off an OAP

 

[Pezza]

Had a horrible feeling going into the Leicester game but was impressed with the attitude and application in second half especially. I fancy Rudoni to bag tonight but can see Millwall scoring at least one, we just can't defend when we play the way we do, with full backs getting forward like they do.

I'm going to go for 1-1.

Esse and emc didn’t get back first half if they do both halves it will make a big difference

 

[alexccfc99]

Really fancy us to win well tonight, just a gut feeling

 

[Hutch11]

In the 2nd half on Saturday it looked like we were back to playing like we did a few weeks ago
Fast, attacking football that can blow teams away
Hopefully it was the start of another tremendous run

 

[Hutch11]

Block 9 nearly all gone , quite a few left in the north stand but it's looking like another great attendance

 

[Jarvo87]

Will be interesting to see if FL does switch it up tonight... personally think he will start Eccles (over Torp) and Tats (over Esse)

Rushworth
MVE Lati Kitch JDS
Grimes Eccles
Tats Rudoni EMC
Simms

Wright, Esse, BTA, Torp, possibly Minny, to hopefully finish the job

Another tight game and Cant see a world where don't concede. 2-1, hopefully.

 

[JSL]

Apparently Millwall are bringing just shy of 900 fans. So the overall attendance will be sub 30,000 I expect.

 

[Gleneagles65]

According to their forum theyve only sold 600 tickets. Piss poor but could be our lowest attendance for a while

Up to 900 now.

 

[curly_tom]

I had a bad feeling about Leicester as I often do. I am often wrong but I just feel we can and should beat Millwall at home. My mate who supports them is not that confident, he reckons if we score first it will be over. A win would be so enjoyable and feel like things are back on track. As everyone says, we must win our home games and we usually do. PUSB!!

 

[Trueskyblue20]

They are bang in form and just beat a really sharp Watford team away from home.

If they win, they are in autos contention, would only be 6 points behind us and potentially level on points with second.

This is a really really tough game so we need to be on top form. Hoping BTA can get back among the goals

School night, kids wont be home til gone 11??? nah no parents want a tired kid at 8 am hahahaha

Need the crowd to be at least 28,869 to keep the season average above 30K.

I'll get me crystal ball out

yes if that includes beating Middlesbrough and Millwall Middlesbrough then need 36 points from their remaining 18 at 2 ppg to go past us

 

[David O'Day]

884

 

[SIR ERNIE]

I'd like to see Wright and Esse start.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I'd like to see Wright and Esse start.

Wright was a monster when he came on

 

[prufrock]

Their manager will likely rotate from the team that beat Watford, they have only recently had a few back from injury so i think 3 games in a week would be bit much for some of them. Millwall will rightly be favourites to take all the points against charlton at the weekend and that could play in our hands if we are winning at 60-70 minutes, they might even rest a few of their better players to focus on saturday rather than chucking everything at us.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Wright was a monster when he came on

If he sustains that level of performance from now on we’re in business. You do get a lot of false dawns with him though

 

[CovveeBreak]

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a whole rotation of the front 3 tonight.

 

[edgy]

He tends to have streaks, so you'd hope that Saturday was the start of another one.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Not me can see minny on the left to start too

 

[JSL]

Need the crowd to be at least 28,869 to keep the season average above 30K.

I expect the first two digits to be 29

 

[JSL]

Mini has been promised minutes. He didn't get any on Saturday so will get something tonight. I am not sure he will start though

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Mini has been promised minutes. He didn't get any on Saturday so will get something tonight. I am not sure he will start though

If anything I think he’d be better suited to Norwich and EMC better suited to Millwall.
