I’d fully expect Neil to make a few, 3 tough games in a week. We’ve got some decent options in the squad that can all come in and do a job.

I’d see Harrop for Browne, with DJ going deeper. Browne puts himself about, rest his legs ready for a big couple of weeks. Should see more of the ball on Saturday, and Harrop is excellent with it and can find himself quite hard done by to not be starting.

I’d also rest Maguire. He’s out of form atm yes, but one thing I won’t fault is his effort. Really could have done with that header going in against Wigan.

Rudd

Fisher
Davies
Bauer
Rafu

Pearson
DJ

Barkhuizen
Harrop
Sinclair

Nugent

Any reason for Hughes’s omission?

Fresher legs. I like Hughes but he’s spent a fair while out, and Rafu can do a job there quite comfortably.

Decent side Millwall, as others has said, it won’t be easy. Will be a scrappy game.
 
Hughes was outstanding last night, he's brilliant in the air and cleared several set pieces. Made the championship midweek team, no way should he be left out, doubt Browne will be left out either.
 
The iPlayer commentator kept saying Rudd was limping every time he kicked the ball..Ripley wasn’t on the bench but I don’t know if that’s something to do with having home grown players in squad?

Davies played so I guess Hudson must have been there due to injury?
 
I’d play the same team that started last night except Nuge for Maguire. Bring him or Stockley on later on depending on what’s needed.
 
Yeah Rad

[/QUOTE Yeah Raff is reliable an rarely makes mistakes but if you take Hughes out, your losing that balance down the left

As few changes as possible. The back 5 pick themselves as do Pearson and Browne, Barky and DJ. That leaves Sinclair and Maguire under threat from freshening up with Harrop or Nugent. Wouldn’t be surprised if we went the same again.
 
I'd agree with cycling Raf and Hughes over a few games actually.. at least until Hughes is up to speed. His impact since his return is plain to see & he's been out for far too many games this season already

illness.

If you're guessing a team put Browne down as playing.
 
Can see Clarke possibly starting in this one to combat their aerial threat. The same line of thought would see Hughes ahead of Rafferty (even though Hughes could potentially need a rest).
Hoping we see Nugent in for Maguire...have thought all season he is our best option there (post Moult injury)...problem is the limited minutes we can squeeze out of him.
