Just one change please. Grabban in for Taylor who's worked his socks off and deserves a rest.

With London entering tier 3 they won't have any fans there, which is good.

There will be a temptation to stick with a winning team but Im not sure Millwall is the place to play Mighten and Mbe Soh. Matt Smith and Jed Wallace are a very different opposition to last night and have always given our defence problems. Might be unpopular but Figs comes back in for me.

Unless McKenna fit of course.

Given that CH won’t take my 3:5:2 recommendation I’ll go for:

Samba

Christie
Worrall
McKenna ( if still out - Figs )
Ribeiro

Yates
Sow

Lolley
Cafu
Knockaert

Grabban

Fresh legs off the bench - Ameobi & Mighten

Figs? No way. Soh should have the shirt now. It should be his to lose. Imagine how Soh would feel if he was dropped for Figs on Saturday. Matt Smith will be rubbing his hands together at the prospect of Figs starting.

I dunno. Figs is more of a warrior whereas Soh looks like he's going to be a more cultured CB, a poor mans Rio Ferdinand. Maybe Figs might be better against those ruffians from Millwall.

The Figs of old then I agree but the Figs that we have seen so far this season then it's a no from me.

Same team for me.

Need to be careful with Sow and not break him but the difference he made last night offensively and defensively cannot be underestimated

Worrall on Smith- Soh on cover. Def a game for the same midfield if possible so if it turns into a war you’ve got physical specimens. Not Arter...

Figs should not play Saturday been found out big time by teams in the Championship, bring back McKenna if fit or keep Soh in place. We are not going down and we are not getting promoted this season, give the lad experience against these type of team, we and the player will benefit in the future to this type of exposure.

Assuming you mean Sow (midfielder) and not Mbe Soh (CB), I agree he made a difference. I thought it was noticeable that he played within himself, in that he managed to contain his aggressiveness. He was not lunging into every tackle, not treating every challenge as a matter of life or death, not getting in the refs face all the time. That's what he's been doing recently and why he can only go 20 or 30 minutes without getting booked. We got an 80% Sow but one who got through the entire 90 minutes without getting booked and without looking like every next challenge was a red card.

In fact, I thought it was noticeable that there was more control all over the pitch. I think Steve Hodge pointed out at one point that Wednesday players were waiting for a challenge so they could go down, and they never arrived.

Hope it continues on saturday. Any cheap free kicks against are going to result in a bombardment.
