Milwall pre match

[tbaker16]

Team prediction? Score predictions? Couldn't find a topic for this so thought I'd make one, discuss and, are we playing in black or white? They play in dark blue so I'm guessing white?

[Ely fox]

I hope pearson gives futacs a go and he starts but dont think he will. A bit concerned about the midfield being too similar and light weight for this one and whether pearson's tactics can cope with millwall. 2-1 millwall

[tbaker16]

Possibly a wellens game? Could get scrappy in midfield at times and he is that type of player

[iamafox]

If we had beaten Barnsley, then I'd certainly take a draw. But now I'm hoping for a win at Millwall just to make up for the 2 dropped points.

[Fox92]

If we had beaten Barnsley, I would have taken a point, especially considering we have more tough games after this. I do think it will be a tough game though, no doubt about that. But I'll sit on the fence and say 1-1.

Team I'd go for would probably be along the lines of;

Kasper

De Laet -- Morgan -- Whitbread -- Konchesky

Knockaert -- Drinkwater -- James -- Marshall

Nugent -- Futacs

____

Subs: Logan, Moore, King, Dyer, Lingard, Vardy, Waghorn

____

I know Waghorn has been playing well, but I just think this will be a game where we might have to revert to a more direct play. Futacs would be able to back in to defenders, try and dominate in the air and just generally give us that option.

I know it's only your second post but...

[Bugg]

Schmeichel

De Laet - Morgan - Whitbread - Konchesky

James

King - Drinkwater

Marshall - Nugent - Vardy

I would go for that starting XI, 3 in midfield as I think we will get overrun in that area and Marshall and Vardy in as I think they will contribute well definsively as well as attacking.

[dynamark]

As above but Schlupp for his pace and Knocky for Vardy under orders to hit the wings when we have it and central when we dont defending from the top.Gonna be rough but we need to handle it and keep playing on the deck.

[Out Foxed]

how many pubs are we gonna smash up? pwopa naughtee

[Blueforever]

Best strategy is play a 4-5-1 with 2 holding midfielders. Park the bus and try and hit them on the break with Schlupp and Marshall and King. Need someone to hold/target man so Futacs gets the nod up front for me. Predicted score 0-0

Schmeichel

De Laet Morgan Whitbread Konchesky

Drinkwater James

Marshall King Schlupp

Futacs

[Fez of Mahrez]

When I saw Millwall on TV against Leeds recently, they played some really cracking football and seemed a similar side to us in a lot of ways - young, quick, creative, fast-passing. Not just a bunch of 6 ft 6 thugs as they're sometimes stereotyped.

[LCFC FOX]

I would go for

Kasper

De Laet Morgan Whitbread Koncheskey

Drinkwater

King James

Knockaert

Nugent Futacs

subs - Logan, Moore, Schlupp, Dyer, Marshall, Vardy, Waghorn

King Dyer

Knockaert

Nugent Futacs

We have to start futacs this guy is a giant would love to see him and nugent get a start together.

[Tom17LCFC]

Very surprised at the amount of people dropping Waghorn. Think this game suits him, he's strong on the ball and won't give them a moments rest.

Can't agree more (Mark w are you reading... )

Waggy would absolutely be in my team to face Millwall. For the reasons you stated.

[Lambert09]

Darius Henderson still gives me nightmares from Svens last game, luckily we have Wes to handle him instead of Bamba. I'd make one change and that would be marshall on for dyer. Really looking forward to my first trip to the den

[La Volpe]

Marshall on for knocky whos not really been doing it for me last few games, I know he scored v Barnsely but apart from that he was slightly disappointing. I reckon dyer will be up for it as he used to play for them so I'd leave him on. Bring in James for drinkwater to add a bit of bite the midfield

[jimmer]

Schmeichel

De Laet - Morgan - Whitbread - Konch

Marshall - King - Drinkwater - Dyer

Waggy - Nugent

or

Schmeichel

De Laet - Morgan - Whitbread - Konch

King - Drinkwater - James

Marshall --------- Waggy

Nugent

[kingfox]

Schmeichel

De Laet - Morgan - Whitbread - Konch

Got to be that, but maybe Dyer instead of Marshall with Waggy swapping wings.

[Munshi]

We definatly need 3 in the middle of the park or we're going to get outmusclued and overrun.

Maybe bring futacs on a little earlier than previous games. 60th minute...

Kasper

De laet

Morgan

Whitbread

Konch

Drinky

James

King

Marshall

Nuge

Waghorn

Play marshall behind the two strikers and drop knocky for this one as it could be a little more physical IMO.

2-1 win would do me fine :xmasbiggrin:

[LCFC_FAN_1995]

Can see it being same team but maybe bring Futacs in!

Im going for a 2-2 draw

[Bluetintedspecs]

Not got a great record there, tough game but think we are due one at the New Den, narrow 1-0 win for me. :xmasbiggrin:
