MK Dons v Millwall

[BetterCallSaul]

This is going to be a very tough game, Milwall look very good and I just don't can't see us getting anything from this game.

We've had a positive start to the season, a win at Shrewsbury and Newport has really lifted our fans I think.

Millwall are bringing a fair few fans, i believe around or just over 2000 tickets have been sold now, a good following.

MK Dons 0-3 Millwall for me, think they will take us apart and bring our fans back down to earth a little bit.

Safe journey to all the Millwall fans coming down. UTF.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

I think you are being a bit 'Saddlerrad' there mate.
Millwall have only played Oldham and Barnet so far and whilst they finished well last season they were hardly Barcelona.
You have just come down from the Championship FFS.
If you are correct, and Millwall do indeed roll you over, then I may begin to believe that they are as good as everybody else seems to think.

 

[BetterCallSaul]

I put it down to the fact that we still don't have our strongest team due to injuries and I just think Millwall are better atm.

Obviously I could be wrong, and I hope I am. But I could just see Millwall doing some damage on Saturday.

 

[Jockney]

We've got a lot of goals in the side. I'm still not sure about the midfield: we've never really had a settled four and often play O'Brien on the left who is naturally a number 10. We lose that battle and we will be in trouble.

Would defo take a point from this and at London Road on Tuesday.

MK 2-2 Wall

I would also be happy with a point, it already feels an important game, not one either side wants to lose.

We've got MK Dons, Posh and Sheffield United as our next three games, so a pretty big month for us. Important not to lose perspective, though. I mean, Wigan got off to a shaky start and ended up winning the league pretty convincingly. Barnsley lost something like nine games in a row until November and ended up winning the JPT and getting promoted. Things tend to feel important early on but over the course of the season the bigger picture emerges.

Millwall look more or less a settled squad while MK are not yet the finished article.

 

[MJA]

This one seems to stand out as the pick of the League 1 fixtures this weekend.

Will be a tight affair, with 2 teams I fully expect to be competing at the top end of the table cancelling each other out in a 1-1 draw

 

[Millwall_Matt]

There doesn't seem to be a lot of information regarding Gregory's fitness at the moment. That could potentially be a key factor here.

 

[JJH]

Interesting matchup this early doors.

1-0 MK, Agard in the 90th minute on debut.

 

[DippyDon]

I'm calling a draw at the moment, were nowhere near the finished article yet but Millwall not having a fully fit Gregory could help us out a lot. I'm still hopeful but it'll be a tough game and we haven't won 2 league games in a row since we got promoted....
MK 1-1 Millwall

 

[Camdenite]

I'd take a point still. Not sure we'll have the options off the bench to step it up late on in what will undoubtedly be a tough game.

 

[BetterCallSaul]

Signing Agard has made me stupidly optimistic. Fûck the 3-0 to Millwall. We're gonna smash the league.

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Quick analysis shows MK have more George Baldocks. 8-0 MK.

Phil Brown said Southend will have the best full backs in the league this season. Obviously hasn't heard of super George Baldock.

 

[Franchisor]

Think it'll be a close, tight game, both sides have decent players in different areas. We're without "first choice" players like Carruthers and Reeves and our squad still doesn't feel complete, still need a couple of players signed and Aneke isn't fit until November time. Agard signing definitely a big boost and has always done well at this level. Millwall just look strong all over the pitch.

Thinking 0-0 or maybe 0-1 Millwall, but a tight game.

 

[Jockney]

Gregory starts. Side unchanged from Saturday.

 

[Jockney]

Finished 2-2. Sounded a fair result. Four points against Posh and Sheff Utd sets us up nicely.

 

[BetterCallSaul]

Well, Millwall hammered us at the start, got quite lucky with the first goal, took a few deflections. The second goal they capitalised on our heads dropping and at 2-0 I really thought we were going to get smashed.

Agard out of nowhere though scored a nice low effort, to make it 2-1 and as quickly made it 2-2. I thought it was very poor keeping for our second, he was to slow coming out and should have done better.

Second half I think was all Millwall, Martin made a superb save and we were really under it. We couldn't get out of our half and I think we got lucky not to concede.

Last 5 minutes were all ours though, 17 year old Thomas-Asante did some wonderful skill to nutmeg the defender and forced a good save from the keeper.

Very happy with a point, very difficult game today. On to Bradford...

Also like to say I'm a big fan of Neil Harris, honest bloke and doing a good job with you lot.

Hope Ferguson is ok too, really nasty injury when he slid into the post.

 

[Franchisor]

Considering we were missing a couple of first teamers, I'm happy with 2-2 especially as Millwall had more and better chances than we did. Agard looks a quality signing, immediate impact. Think both teams will be right up there at the end of the season.

 

[BetterCallSaul]

Think how much better we will be when Carruthers, Reeves, Aneke are all apart of the squad.

 

[DippyDon]

Very positive result I think, to come back from 2-0 down to get a point when we are arguably missing 3 or 4 of our best players is a testament to the squad we are building. I thought Millwall played well and we will both be up there at the end of the season.
