I'll be there tonight. Just been in Paris with my wife so no clash.

I have a free pass and not many games work for me so chuffed to be going.
A look at the opposition forum is quite an amusing read with many nostalgic accounts of past brawls (thankfully not with us).

Reports are coming in, Jackson is warming up on the pitch. Stewards are taking cover as he practices shooting!

I’ve only been to Millwall twice and both visits were horrendous but the worst by far was almost 45 years ago on 11 March 1978 when a riot broke out at The Den during our FA Cup quarter-final with Town leading 6–1. Fighting began on the terraces and spilled onto the pitch and many fans were injured with some Millwall hooligans even turning on their own supporters leaving some innocent fans bloodied. Bobby Robson famously said of Millwall fans afterward, "The police should have turned the flamethrowers on them"
I’ve never been back to Millwall since and never will, it was my most frightening experience ever at a football match.

Well I'm definitely uninspired by that team selection.

Good to see Burgess back but feel a bit sorry for Fridge I wondered if he might put Fridge in for Wolfie.

Who would you have liked in ? I know Burns has been poor the last couple of games and Broadhead also he's not been at his best for a while.

Hutchinson and Al-Hamadi all day long, we need to win this game.

I probably would have had Travis instead of Mass, and Al-Hamada instead of Broadhead, and Axel
in alongside Burgess I’m afraid …

First Millwall corner observation, not many of our players watching the ball ?
How can you clear the ball when you don’t know where it is ?

We’re failing time and again to pick up the spare man on edge of our area …

3 Hladky saves in 12 minutes, another slow start, great tackle from Clarke but we look a shadow of what we were. Second best all over the pitch

The only problem with Hutchinson is he never seems as effective from the start as when he comes on from the bench.

Chaplin dropped, but why is Broadhead starting?…probably cuz he scored. Poor Travis must be livid!
That's why Broadhead started.

A good job McKenna picks the team as many on here would have had Broadhead on the bench at best.
