Millwall pre match chat
They are yet to play this weekend and face Burnley tomorrow afternoon which will be interesting to see how they get on.
They could be as high as 7th.
Decent form Millwall, 2 wins 2 draws in the last 4.
11 points from last 6.
Now had the most challenging of runs it has to be said, mainly lower end opponents and only really a draw with WBA catching the eye so will be interesting to see how they do tomorrow.
Realise many cba with xG but the stats say Millwall should have more points.
They are as you would expect a physical team.
Average the most tackles per game in the league, 4th most interceptions.
Least average possession (strangely also least long passes per game) but very decent at creating shooting chances with the limited time they have on the ball.
3rd most big chances created, top 6 for shots on target per game.
Clearly an effective team shall we say.
They play a 4-2-3-1 with the vast majority of the attacking threat coming from a very effective front 4 with 10 goals between them and 6 assists.
Wingers Duncan Watmore and Romain Esse having provided the majority of those.
So could be an interesting game.
The most comfortable side in the league without having the ball vs a possession obsessed one.
In terms of us a quick turnaround of fixtures leads to the inevitable selection questions (all be it DF rarely changes).
But is a possible change necessary? The tricks of Solomon perhaps ? The more physical Joseph?
