Same team (unless EMC is out and then I guess BTA comes in on the left.

another home win would be delicious

Another tough but winnable game. They’ll be different than they were a few weeks back. Tanganga is a decent centre back and Esse will cause us problems. Hope EMC is fit as he is key atm.

Same team for sure.

Millwall will be more of an opponent than Plymouth so we need to be at it from the start.

Think they'll be changes purely based on being the 3rd game in 8 days.

Start Simms. Torp could come in to freshen up the midfield, maybe for Rudoni. I'd start Kitching over Lati (but you already know that).

We've had a few false dawns already this season, a win in this one and at Cardiff and we might be on to something.

I think there will be a few changes.

Probably at least a couple out of Simms, BTA, Torp, Kitching to start I reckon.

And gives us a bit of leeway to take our usual defeat at Carrow Rd on the chin.

Shocked me yesterday to see that we're only 2 points behind them. I thought they were having a decent season and us a poor one.

Actually thought the same when I looked at the table, though form never seems to matter when we go there.

I think we'll scrape a 1-0 win. Wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of changes, maybe the back line will start as we finished yesterday with Lats at RB and Kitching CB, to give MVE a little break.

Plymouth were that bad yesterday that you can take nothing from that game.

Millwall 1 win in 8, another home win would be lovely.

BTA in for EMC (if injured) and I'd start Simms. Other than that keep the same team.

I think subbing MVE off was to give him a little mini rest in order to start v Millwall.

If EMC is out, I prefer Rudoni out on the left, to BTA. Looks after the ball better. You can then bring in Torp into midfield, Anyway, what do I know?

Not sure why the natural assumption is BTA for EMC. BTA did nothing to warrant inclusion yesterday. Busy, as ever, but ineffective.

Also not convinced about all this stuff about changes because of so many games - he can rest some for the FA Cup. Much more important to build on the win, that means just a few tactical changes based on individual performance rather than a strategic decision to rest some players.

So an unchanged side for me as far as is possible. If forced to rest EMC then Rudoni on the left and Torp in midfield rather than BTA.

I still think Simms over Bassette but its a very close call, particularly away from home.

Kitching looked quite at home in his cameo, so maybe put him in Thomas's spot. Lati is a big leader on the pitch and has what used to be called 'nowse'. But again not that bothered either way.

This feels very winnable, especially after a solid confidence builder. Same starters to last game. Bidders and Lati really help settle the back line.

Hopefully EMC if fit, but how far is Hadji off from return? Asante plays if not and maybe Rodrigues gets a cameo too, noticed he made the bench for Plymouth..

If EMC is injured (really hope not) I would be tempted to try Bassette on the left with Simms through the middle.

Other than the 3 points, obviously, plus a significantly improved goal difference.

Frank seems to like Rodrigues as a prospect. Needs to translate in to some minutes on the pitch.

Tickets selling pretty well. Certainly won't match yesterday's attendance but it will be one of the highest.

No idea what Millwall will bring. They travel dreadfully but occasionally take big numbers to the midlands.

Didn't realise just how bad their form is aside from a last minute winner against Blackburn.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kitching started and Lati came on for MVE in the last 15mins.

Unfortunately missing it, being stuck in hospital. If Mason-Clark is out, then I would either have Rudoni on the left and Torp in behind, or Bassette on the left with Thomas-Asante up top. Him over Simms because of the energy he brings and he is better centrally.

Very scruffy win I think. 1 nil, or 2-1, with us clinging on at the end.

They’ve taken 1,500 tickets but only took 700 odd to Norwich. 27,000 + crowd I’d reckon.

We need to put a run together now, so need a repeat of the performance levels and secure another home win.

Same starting line up for me, injuries permitting.

Bassette not got much from the wings - would be a waste - need to keep him in the centre - if he does put Simms in from the start and we have no score Bassett needs to be on from half time - BTA just a nuisance impact sub for me

Any of these two suggestions would be a lot better than playing BTA.

There's just no end product with BTA, runs around a lot, that's about it.

Must agree with the assumptions of BTA .
A massive waste of money , when other areas were crying out for a quality signing

As big a waste of money as Wright start of last season and EMC a couple of months ago?

Some good players at Millwall but I'd hope for a win against them at home. Be nice to go on a little streak if at all possible.

They were doing well under Harris until he called their fans thickos.

Looks like Alex Neil will be the next manager which seems like a bad appointment.

Coming down from Cumbria for this and bringing my son to his first game (he wasn't really into football until he turned on the fa cup semi to see how dad's team were doing just a few mins before Simms goal, he was captivated....was in tears when Torp's goal was ruled out and again when the pens were missed.... A fan was born right then)
What time roughly do the players usually arrive as I thought it would be great for him to try see/meet them?
