We won the last time I started one of these things so here goes...

No idea what to make of this one as Millwall seem to've been in freefall recently whilst we're in a state of flux. Will O'Neil start? I would think so as surely you don't pay a fee for someone only to bench them. Will Morsy play? I'd say definitely - he's a Town player until someone tables a worthwhile package. Will Gardner return to the dugout alongside Banks? Will the increasingly impressive Ariyibi force his way into the eleven? So where will we fit them in - Angel behind E-B and between O'Shea/Ariyibi and Novak, perhaps?

I guess such questions are the price we pay for leaving it so late to recruit.

Love to think we can continue the home side's troubles but it wouldn't surprise me if it's a scruffy encounter between two outfits still sorting themselves out.

:rolleyes: Regardless of who replaces him I think Gardner will find himself on the bench.He just doesn't fit in when O'Shea is in the team.Too much alike and too fond of coming inside instead of playing wide.Much of our play against 'Dale was too narrow until Gboly came on. :blink:
Many a good tune

From the highlights of the Shrewsbury game O'Shea seemed to have moved up a L1 gear, sadly there was no evidence of such personal improvement against Rochdale. I tend to think O'Shea and Gardner are no more than squad players at this level, ok to come on from the bench and hopefully make an impact. If both are starting it suggests to me that our first XI needs to be strengthened.

Novak still struggling with that injury and I think we'll miss him.
Talbot I can only gather has picked up ANOTHER knock..

Chesterfield are playing a 4-2-3-1, Liam O'Neil has slotted in the RB slot.
