Looking forward to Sunday.
Millwall are mid-table with a draw and a defeat away from home so far. Bouazza plays for them now and has scored a couple of times for them.
I don't expect King to start but CH will know best about how sharp he is, would be good to at least see 30 minutes of him. Very hard to judge if Elliott, Ndaw or Ibanez will feature. I suspect that with many of the squad rested CH may play what he feels is his best match-fit eleven, perhaps rotating a bit over the coming weeks as the games come thick and fast.
WIll also be interesting to see what CH does about the goalkeeper. Myhill didn't play for Wales at all so possibly a chance for Doyle to impress in training? I can see good reasons for playing Doyle, but respect CH's view if he feels that Myhill needs to be given a proper run to prove his ability.
Very hard to judge what formation we'll play, could be 442, 451 or 4411, I guess. I haven't been a fan of the 451 formations we've played as the 3 men in the middle haven't always gelled that well. Perhaps we go 4141 with Ndaw or Spector holding (which I suppose isn't unlike the formation when Mutch played)?

Sunday's Game vs Millwall

I fancy us to win, hopefully 2-0.
I can see him starting with Myhill, although he doesn't fill me with joy, CH brought him here to play, so he will stick with him.
I can't see King starting but he should be on the bench. I can see N'Daw starting with Beau moving out to the wing and redmond being rested. I hope he brings Fahey back into midfield in place of Spector just to give us that bit more guile and Burke on the other wing. Rooney and Wood upfront to start and back four of Carr, Davies, Caldwell and Ridgewell

BCFC83. Fahey is out for the next two or three weeks along with Valles.
Zigic is in full training and only Mutch is long term.
I fancy King to start with Woods and perhaps Rooney off the bench for the last half hour.
The thing with Hughton is he likes to keep the opposition guessing and I see us going a more traditional 4-4-2 with Beausy and Burke on the wings.
The usual back four and Spector and N'Daw in the middle.
Result wise. I suggest 3-1 to Birmingham.

Yes, 3-1 to Blues with Bouazza to score theirs...

Millwall are a very good side despite nobody ever seeming to notice or mention them when talking about promotion rivals etc, will be a tough game tomorrow and they will have a few fans up i'd imagine
.......................Myhill
Carr.....Davies.....Ibanez.......Murphy
Burke.....N'Daw...Spector.....Beau
..............Wood....Rooney
Doyle
Ridgewell
Redmond
Elliott
King
That's how i see us lining up, not saying its the team i'd go for but have a feeling he will want 2 tacklers in the middle, that's a good looking bench though!

I'm going for a 4-1 win. I have a good feeling about the game.

Mackem won't he go with Caldwell (or is he injured) and Ridge for Murphy? King and maybe Redmond on for last half hour possibly.

I prefer murphy over ridgewell, he stays wide and cuts in less we've been way too narrow over the last few years and that's why we had become predictable and not very good to watch, get burke, beau, carr and murphy on the pitch 4 players who hug the touch line and we'd find teams a lot easier to break down and score more goals
