Not my preferred 11, but the set up I think R.L. will go with.

Neither do I. I'm basing the selection on what I think R.L. will go for. I'd rather go four at the back for this one with Cunningham at L.B. I'm sure Millwall will go with one up top. Pack the midfield with Holmes and Millar given licence to run at their big defenders.
 
I don't really want to single out individuals from our recent poor run but one player who drove me to distraction at Ipswich was Brady - he couldn't tackle, couldn't control the ball when it came to him and wouldn't attempt to run at the opposition. I really begin to wonder if he is finished at this level - he just wants too much time. Our defence was also clumsy but let's hope the team recovers the spirit and determination that underpinned our success over the first eight matches of the season.

We have to break this pattern of play based on a mix of sideways passing and hoofball. We have to pass and run with the ball forwards - it is no coincidence that Osmajic's solitary goal so far came when Browne ran forward with the ball and then passed it forward to create the opportunity. Another point - our deliveries from freekicks are often lamentable just aimless punts forward. The brief fightback after our second goal at Ipswich, for instance, fizzled out when Whiteman simply played a lofted ball high and wide and out of play when he had an ideal opportunity to shoot from a central position that could have brought us a second equaliser.

But looking forward to Saturday I think I would like to see Frokjaer and Holmes sharing duties on the left of midfield but interchanging. So:

Woodman
Storey, Lindsay, Cunningham
Potts, Browne, Whiteman, Frokjaer, Holmes
Keane, Osmajic
 
I like Brady sometimes, but he really needs a break from the Starting XI.However, I fully expect him to start tbh.

Surely RL has to see the statistics this season:

PNE with Brady starting: W0 D1 L3
PNE without Brady starting: W6 D1 L0

Yep.Seems like a nice dude is Brady but if we want to capitalize on our decent start,no time for niceties.He needs to ride the pine for now.
