Another one already?!

Slightly harder prospect than Tuesday I should think. Although we were very good in spells, let's face it, Huddersfield weren't very good.

Regardless of Pukki's foot, I would keep the Sarge up front, I like what he offered. In fact I think I'd be happy with an unchanged side, Kenny at lb isn't ideal, and he was mostly okay the other night, but I feel he will be exposed by a better player, but we have no choice right now unfortunately. Although the subs played their part, I don't think any of them made a particular case to be starting.

Another win would be massive for us.

Dean Smith is in. He ‘doesn’t know’ at the moment if Teemu Pukki will be available. He is yet to kick a ball, will get until tomorrow morning. Sam Byram is available.

“We are unbeaten at Carrow Road, so we are making it a tough place to come. Opposition managers have said that.

DS: “I thought Kenny’s performance was okay, but we are still looking for that position and we’ve got Sam Byram coming back.”

Adam Idah training today and will be available for Bournemouth next Tuesday.

Any more incomings… DS: “No, just left-back. We have a bloated squad now, so I have to leave good players off the bench.”

DS: “The ball Danel (Sinani) played through to Sarge that brought the red card was the sort of ball Teemu would thrive on. Sarge gives us an aerial presence.”

Relief after first win? DS: “No, the mood hasn’t changed. We feel that we don’t have the points we deserve.”

DS: “I want players to feel under pressure from other players. That brings a healthy environment.”

DS: “Two assists and two goals in his last two appearances is not bad. Sinani’s a talented individual and we really like him.”

Liam Gibbs… DS: “He has come through okay. He is a level-headed lad. He adapted really well and we are really pleased with how he is progressing.”

DS: “I will be led by Sam (Byram) and how he is feeling physically and mentally. He knows his body and his injury record.”

Will Sam Bryam ever be fit?! Another waste of money by Webber the clown!!!

I'd keep Sarge up front and the rest of the team did OK so no changes necessary from my POV.
Is he really likely to score?
Would you put your house on him scoring?

Thank goodness Hanley and co don't have to face ours and Millwall ex striker Morison now that he is no longer playing. Him and Holt, really drooling to think back all those seasons ago

I wouldn't put my house on anybody to score (a tenner is my limit) .... but Sarge is a better player than many give him credit for and he is as good a bet to score tonight as any of the others. Pukki wouldn't have scored that header on Tuesday, he is not physically strong enough. We haven't have a big guy to aim at in the box for a long time so Sarge adds something different.

If anyone does actually fancy a bit of a flutter, on Bet 365 you can get 9/1 on Nunez having more than 1.5 shots on target any time in the game. For someone who is a free kick taker, I reckon that is easily attainable.

I don't understand - how can you have 0.5 of a shot? Is that when you fall over mid kick?!

Onel starts ... Todd on the bench.

Crivvens, ended up nightclubbing on the back of the win. Urgh.

The clubbing was great, but onto the game, also great. This week has really felt like a turning point, where things have started to click a bit. Millwall were tough, and a much harder proposition than Huddersfield, it feels like we have beaten a proper Championship team now. First half felt a bit familiar, lots of endeavour, without any real cutting edge, a bit frustrating really. Early goal in the 2nd half absolutely changed everything, we look a totally different team once we are in front.

Enjoyed Millwall fans spitting their dummies out and throwing seats.

Worthy mentions? Kenny actually okay at lb. Omabamidele absolutely incredible, the lad is going to be better than Godfrey. Nunez an absolute Rolls Royce of a player, me and my mates slagged Dowell off at half time, then he pulls a great assist out for the goal. Sargent fantastic, brings so much more than Pukki, am still a bit troubled by our wide attacking players, they are all much of a muchness, seemed odd to me to drop Cantwell for Onel, who seems to be a real fan favourite, but lets face it, really isn't great.

Progress.
