Millwall v Huddersfield Town Match Thread

You're only as good as your last game.............someone once said. Well if this is true we got thumped at bottom of the table Peterborough and Millwall blew a three goal lead against Mirf's Super Blues. This game could go either way if that's to go by, but Town have always found Millwall a tough place to go to. Town have had an amazing first 12 games and I don't think anyone would have predicted to been top six for most of the season so far. Still, performances like the one reported on Tuesday night and we will soon plummet down the table. Town's last trip to The New Den had fans worried about going, but the players were showing signs of being scared, as they let the hostile atmosphere get to them and we went out of the Play Off's in 2010 with less than a whimper. Surely the atmosphere won't be as hostile this time around, so the players might be able to play like we know they can and take home all three points.

This seasons form

Millwall have had a mixed bag of results this season at The New Den so hopefully Town can take advantage of this. Seems they are struggling for clean sheets at home, so I hope Cosh and Becks take full advantage of this

Town away have, according to some, had their best performances away from home. At home to Wolves in our last game we were superb, but as I missed the Peterborough game on Tue I can't comment how bad we were. Having said that we are the best team on the road this season, thus far, according to stats365.com

Team News

Should Smithies be dropped, as, Tez has assured me, he should have save "that goal"?
Loads on here and DATM are saying that Woods, Gerrard, Ward and Norwood were pretty dire on Tue too? Grayson called on all his sidelined players last weekend to keep the pressure on, so will he take the plunge with some of his squad players? What do we do with the line up then? Well here is mine.........

Position Name
GK Smithies
RB Dixon
CB Lynch
CB Clarke (c )
LB Hunt
RW Scannell
Mid Southern
Mid Clayton
LW Hammill
FW Vaughan
FW Beckford

I know I've dropped Norwood, but I believe we need to be as tough as possible in the middle and we need some speed and skill on the wings. We can win at Millwall, as others have already done that this season.

How Much

It's pay on the day, but you can purchase a ticket from the club for £26! Darn that's $40 in your currency

Ref

Oxfordshire Official Mr Graham Scott will take charge of this affair. He's been on the National List of Referees since 2008. His assistants are Mr Gavin Muge & Mr John Busby. The 4th official is Mr Neil Hair

How to get there

If your gonna drive to Millwall then do like 38 is and have a parking space lined up, but don't hang around after the game. If Loui has some seats spare in his Time Machine this will be a great help too, as Millwall are not the friendliest club. For others, like me, then best bet is get to London Bridge and get the Overground Train to South Bermondsey, where you will be met by Officers from The Met and escorted down a walkway to the Away Turnstiles for your own safety.

Fans

Millwall's Fans are known for many a mile from Bermondsey as not very friendly. This been said some decided to sit in a pub at Waterloo one night and ambush a few Mini Buses full of "Wall" Fans. This was not a very wise move as the ensuing battle was known as "Battle of Waterloo". Now it seems that the said ambushed Millwall Fans were not the sort to mess with and it got quite messy. Now I for one hope the Millwall fans are not gonna replicate that welcome for some innocent Town Fans and everyone has an enjoyable day.

Pubs

If anyone, 38 or Wakey, wants to recomend a good pub for a pint and chat before the trip from London Bridge then do put it down. I know Tez is looking forward to his trip to London, so we are been taken to Shoreditch first to a pub called The White Horse. This is purely to wet the Babies head and not for the entertainment on offer, I can assure you.

38 states constantly "football is a simple game" yet manages to write a volume of war and peace every time PC makes a mistake !

el aurans..
he does not make a mistake..thats how he wants to defend and thats how everyone else is told to defend to suit him..
stronger character than the last manager and apparently the new one as well..
simple fact, a shot from inside the box is an easier chance than from outside. same with a header, 6 yard box and close to the 18 yard line etc..

a 10 yard pass through a static line or a retreating line of defenders is easier than a 40 yard ball over the top of a defence that has some depth to it and a keeper on the edge of his box..

we simply dont make goals hard to score against us.. you will always let them in, its the standard thats the problem..
