Only two days now, and Town and Darren Moore will be aiming to consign that awful performance against Preston to oblivion.
Can we ease relegation tension slightly, and go into Christmas in good cheer?

I'm the stupid/brave/optimistic one who's voted for a win. Based on the fact that DM can't make the same selection mistakes he made against Preston, otherwise we'll lose heavily and he'll be sacked by Monday.
1. Pick some left footed players to play on the left side of the pitch, especially the left wing back, or full back. To pick Koroma as a left wing back is just stupid, at least on the right he can (attempt to) tackle with with his preferred right foot.
2. Ideally go back to a 3-4-3/5-4-1 formation as it suits the players we have in the squad. We don't have any specialist wing backs capable of being the only player in their side of the pitch in a 3-5-2/5-3-2 formation.

I’m going and, perversely, I’m actually quite looking forward to it. Maybe by 3.05pm on Saturday I’ll be regretting it all. Mind you, my ticket hasn’t arrived yet!
Very occasionally Town surprise us all in a good way and we get an unexpected win. Maybe this Saturday? Unfortunately it’s far more likely I’ll be left disappointed yet again, but we’ll see.
It will be interesting to see, in the flesh, if KN’s message gets any reaction on the pitch.

I think he’ll go back to bunker in and the 5-4-1 tbh.hope to frustrate them and get something on the break.We simply can’t go behind in games,especially early because we simply for the most part don’t appear capable of getting back into them.So I think he’ll go cautious with that in mind and been away from home. Obviously pre presser I’m not sure on injuries so I’m going to guess Jackson can be back but Pearson will be out. Nicholls Jackson Lees(although who knows if rumours are true) Helik Yuta Headley Sorba Hogg Kasumu Koroma Burgzorg If Pearson is fit he may slot in for lees. If both Pearson and jackson are not fit then who knows |

Millwall managed to score 2 goals away at top of the table Leicester last night so it's not too much of a stretch to think they will get at least 2 against a lot worse team on Saturday, sadly I see a 3-1 defeat and more pain for the fans.

Never in my life have I wished defeat on us.
However if a 3-0 defeat means this buffoon gets sacked at 5pm Saturday, I'd take that.
Saying that, I think we'll get spanked 3-0 anyway!
The board should hang their heads in shame - anyone remember our last visit to The Den?!

I have heard the dressing room was loud on Tuesday night at HT but this what you would want. |

We beat them away last season & they’re only ahead of us on GD
Massive game, but I just can’t see us getting anything this time around

Castlehill - ok the rumours of a bust up at half time may or may not be correct, but as i have heard as have many others the players think Moore is a good guy yes, but him and his coaching staff have not exactly impressed the players and most training sessions puzzle the players at best. |

Depends which Town team turn up imho.
The defensively solid, pragmatic but carrying a threat up top at times one or the utter shambles we've seen mostly in the last 2 home games?!
If he persists with Wiles 10 yds in front of Hogg and Kasumu as he has done when trying to be more offensive then 0-3 cos the system is currently 1 draw 2 defeats and 2-8 in goals.
If he contains but plans for JK/ST and Burgzorg to carry a threat with quick direct running then we might sneak something. Ward surely cant play again on Sat ?!

Today's press conference with DM and Helik:
Thought the questions were better today; one alluded to the general feeling at the moment that the football being served up is totally boring, which DM ineloquently parried with confident self-assurance!

Another great press conference by DM.
Never had a man said so much, but actually said so little.
It's like listening to a spoilt little 13 yr old kid.

I hope he doesn’t bow to fan pressure are try be entertaining. We need points i don’t care what it looks like. 2 up front isn’t our thing particularly when our strikers are turd. The worse the game the more chance we have.
Injuries might force 4 at the back which i wouldn’t be against.

I gave up after 10 mins with the bit, "I can't give too much away because other teams are listening"

The squad is starting to look more like our first 11. However, I sensed on Tuesday that the players don’t want play the
Moore way.
Nichols back in for me.
1-1

Lees got injured. I’m not saying he didnt,however he wasn’t mentioned in the press conference today regards injuries.Just that they were waiting on Pearson and ward tomorrow and that Jackson was 50/50. Wasn’t my insinuation that I commented on was merely taking it from another thread. Wouldn’t be a massive leap though to think of something did go off and he was subbed that he was in the mix of it.That’s speculation though I suppose. |

I’m sure DM will go ultra defensive and aim for a 0-0 draw . Due to our incapability of a clean sheet - I’ll go with 1-1 .
My team would be
Nichols
Kasumu Pearson (if fit) Helik Lees Headley
Hogg Wiles
Thomas Ward Koroma

Hopefully get the 3 points, these lot aren’t the best at the minute but … gonna be 5 at the back, no attacking awareness, park the bus and lose 3-0
