So the day has come once again probably the hardest opponents we have ever faced in the 21st
century and unfortunately we have to say it`s indeed our south London rivals Millwall.
Our record against Millwall is awful to say the least and it always has been awful well except if you go way back to 1922 and by that time we had played them just three times and won twice and the third fixture was a 1-1 draw, but then things started to go downhill in terms of playing Millwall as it took us 8 years and 13 games to get another win after that but even then the game after that we was thrashed an embarrassing 6-0 by the Lions on their own turf but the less said about that the better.
Team news now and with the possibilities of Declan Rudd and Ricky Holmes returning from injuries that feeling of maybe ending the streak becomes that little bit more possible, we defiantly hope that the two main players are back in the squad after what feels like a lifetime out on the side lines.
Debuts could be handed out to new signings Nathan Byrne, Jay Dasilva, Lewis Page and Jake Forster-Caskey as they are all fully fit and available for selection to make the side look completely different from what it was in the 3-1 defeat at The Den.
I personally hope we get to see our new players so we can see what they are really made of because putting them in a game like this should show what they can do and I hope us as well as Karl Robinson will be impressed with their performances.
Another name, Tony Watt who could quite possibly be a main factor in this game as he can use his determination to set up and score goals, that`s the Tony we know and love but it`sjust his attitude that lets him down but then again in a local derby that could come in handy.
What do you think the score will be?
