Lazlo78 Posted 10 March, 2012 Share Posted 10 March, 2012 Ahhh Millwall. Used to think of them only as "that unsympathetic club with psycho fans". Now I rather think of them as "that club that are actually respecting economical restraints and living within their means". As opposed to other clubs not mentioned here...

StDunko Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Really looking forward to this one now. We owe them a beating after our poor performance in the cup replay. Nice easy train journey up from Chi for a day on the beers in London. I have a feeling Billy Sharp will grab a goal or two too. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Anyone have a clue how many we've sold so far? We've sold out the intial allocation of just over 2,000 and recieved another 1,000 for the lower tier which are selling fast so I'm told. I know a number of lads that have got tickets in the lower tier. Get a shift on or by the end of the week you'll here all those complaining they missed out like Orient last year. And if the weather's like this next weekend it's gonna be another cracking day out drinking in the sunshine again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Millwall away always proves a tough one for us, but their home form is awful and this is a game we should be winning if we want to win the league, especially with tougher away games to come in the coming weeks. Millwall's home form since their last win at the Den (against the skates on Boxing Day): Crystal Palace - L 0-1 Birmingham City - L 0-6 Watford - L 0-2 Derby County - D 0-0 Middlesbrough - L 1-3 Reading - L 1-2. 5 defeats in 6 games. My brother is also a Milwall fan, so needless to say a win is imperative for personal reasons too! Reckon it will be tough, and a battle but we'll win 2-1.

Toadhall Saint Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Should be a good turn out - over 2000 sold already with another 1000 (prob less now) to go. If anyone is worried about the reputation - don't be - we're in the 2010's now not the 1980's. Saints to start nervy but finish in style 3-0 Saints.

Lighthouse Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 why on hell would you drop connolly from the bench..?

Lighthouse Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 But Lee Barnard is? Barnard was one of our most important players before he got injured last season. Hard working, always putting pressure on defenders and a decent finisher. He has popped up and scored some very important goals when we were struggling and needed them most. Wednesday way last season, Adkins first win and our first goal for about a month. The winner in the 3-2 MK Dons game. Both goals at Carrow Road under Pardew when Norwich went up as Champions. An injury time equaliser at Brighton and a last minute winner at Yeovil. He hasn't been fit this season, but I'd at least give him a shot off the bench if the alternative is Connolly.

We should try loaning Barnard out to Bristol City or Barnsley for the rest of the season, you never know he might make a telling contribution against Wet Sham (although perhaps on balance as he is reportedly a Hammers fan maybe not). Unlikely he will ever get a look in at Saints again. Shame really is a decent League One or mid-table Championship striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a choice about where you go - or is everyone not on coaches hearded towards South Bermondsey? - Surrey Quays station is only 10 mins walk away, take one stop to Canada Water, and Jubilee 2 stops to London Bridge (might work out quicker) - I use the sports hall at The New Den regularly, and that's an easy way to go, not been on a matchday though.

If we fail to win here we can still gain promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holepuncture Posted 12 March, 2012 Share Posted 12 March, 2012 Waterloo East - Over ground to London Bridge - Over ground to South Bermondsey IMO. Means you dont need to get a travelcard for the tube. Depending where you travel from this saves a few quid on your ticket. 2 tickets in the upper tier, 2 in the lower - doh! looking forward to this one, we make good noise at Millwall normally. Millwall have not won at home this year, however they do play well against us. And when I say well, I mean they stop Lambert and Lallana playing. 3 points please SFC!

trousers Posted 12 March, 2012 Share Posted 12 March, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17340145 Millwall to sign Leeds United goalkeeper Maik Taylor Millwall are set to sign Leeds United goalkeeper Maik Taylor on an emergency loan deal until the end of the season. The 40-year-old Northern Ireland international, who has won 88 caps for his country, is being brought in due to Steve Mildenhall's ankle injury. Taylor is yet to make an appearance at Elland Road since signing in November. He began his career at Farnborough followed by spells at Barnet, Southampton and Fulham, before signing for Birmingham in 2004 for £1.5m. Taylor went on to make 242 appearances for Blues over a seven-year spell at St Andrew's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 12 March, 2012 Share Posted 12 March, 2012 Connolly was one of the most important players in the run-in last season. I'd have him on the bench every time over Barnard. He scored 4 goals last season, when he was a year younger and in League 1. 3 of them came against gash teams like Shrewsbury, Walsall and Brentford. Even then he only got in the side because Barnard was injured and Lambert and Guly were the only other strikers on the books. Connolly only scores when we are playing brilliantly, we have plenty of players who can do that. If we are not at our best and need someone who can come of the bench and nick a goal out of nowhere, Barnard and Guly are far superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
