So far things are going pretty well, but Millwall away presents a difficult challenge. We are notoriously poor in coming back from London with 3 points, and Millwall will be eager to end their poor run. However the results must be going against them for a reason, so we can only hope their disjointed start continues.....

So...

Any team news? :)

Presumably the same starting line up as against Preston?

Or will Chris choose a more defensive line up :D

If we play to our strengths I can see us edging this one 2-1. But as with most away games, particularly against sides on a bad run, avoiding the banana skin would not be the end of world. As ever, and perhaps? against a team such as Millwall, safe journey all, and let's get that top of the league spot today ;)

UTB
 



tough place to go and we never seem to do great down there, that said they are woefully out of form, poor scrappy game, blades to nick it 1-0 with a late goal from Egan or Joc
 
I hope Ryan Leonard is playing for them. That will make it a bit easier. I can't see this being much of an exciting contest tbh. I hope we can nick it - but I'm preparing myself for "a bad day at the office".
 
Not overly confident with ANY trip to the Den, however their start seems to sweeten the deal a little.

I'm going for a scrappy 1-1 draw. 0-0 first half, 0-1 to Millwall early on in the second half and THEN we decide to turn it on and get an equaliser.
 
I would be more than happy with a draw but have a feeling we are gonna turn up and nick this 2-1.
 
Gonna regret saying this...

I think we'll click today.

4-1 Blades.
 
Super 'wall......at least that's the summary some of us seem to have arrived at.

The Leonard factor has been blown out of proportion. Didn't score when he was at the Blades, but according to some I've heard, today he's going to be their match-winner and score at least two goals. I've no doubt Leonard is a decent player - at this or a lower level - but you'd think we're the type of team that will capitulate easily. All of this guff needs to be reversed, it's them who should be worried about us. Never mind history, never mind who has won where, it's all about today, and if our mindset is right, if, to use a commonly used term, "we turn up", then we'll be more than a match. I'm not suggesting a walkover, no doubt this is a game we'll have to scrap for everything, but if we match them at every turn then we have the creative edge to make this count in our favour.

I’ve read that he’s prolific at scoring goals from outside of the box, this is despite only scoring 20 goals in 260+ appearances.

On a serious note. I think Leonard is a decent player, even at this level but there’s absolutely no need to be scared of him, like some of our fans seem to be.

There will be some decidedly soggy undercarriages on here tonight if he does score, you can guarantee it. We'll probably pick up a major knock to Norwood or Fleck as well, to really get those fountains gushing.

Should be fun.
 
Can see us dominating the first half, having great chances to score but not taking them, then getting out fought more and more as the match goes on, resulting in a defeat or a draw.

And Leonard will have a good game and show a lot of people a thing or two. He's got a massive amount to prove.

No doubt Lee fucking Gregory will score again as well.
 
United will win if Wilder doesn't do anything daft with the team selection or team shape after the subs.
 



I've thrown my chicken bones out of their velvet bag this morning, and I'm seeing 'GOALS'.
 
I’m not confident. We won at QPR this season which was our first win in London for about 15 years or summat daft. So that hoodoo has lifted I guess.

But no, I’m not confident.
 
Some of you really need to have more confidence in our team and Manager. If we lose today it will be quite a shock to all championship teams and fans, except ours, it seems ?
 
Not won down here for a while but that looks a good line up. Blades in good voice outside Bunch of Grapes by London Bridge
 
Great to see Coutts on the bench he must be close to forcing his way back into the starting eleven.

Woodburn loses his spot on the bench but he is going to have to kick it up a notch to get back in there.
 
Best team available.

Coutts will come off the bench today, think Leon will get on and do well too.
