Given the physical nature of Millwall and their (relative)strength from set-plays Id pick the biggest,strongest team weve got..and please start playing more direct football Mowbray.We arent Barca or Real or City so play to our strengths.

FWIW Id say Evans goes missing in matches far too much for a midfielder. Thats why supporters want him moving on.

Totally agree.We dont want to be in a relegation-battle 6 weeks into a new season cos we cant defend! Last season we had the luxury of starting the season off as a bit of an unknown entity...that isnt the case any more.

The defence & goal-keeping situation look dire at the moment. Given that Lenihan(comfortably our best defender)is somewhat injury prone we really need two central defenders plus one goalie and AT LEAST 2 full-backs.Yet Mowbray has spent(wasted?)high wages on 2 midfield oldsters-Downing & Johnson and is apparently after Gallagher for £5 million. The defence has been ignored completely so far cos no convenient freebies are available. Ben Gibson is a top dollar defender(even if a Dingle)so its strange they are trying to get rid so quickly.He even scored for them last season although making virtually no appearances. With his Middlesborough connection Mowbray must have seen this. Unfortunately I cant see us getting him|(even on loan)given the wage issue. I just hope we dont get Hart instead.That would worry me no end. Theres time to go yet,but as things are shaping up,with a new goalie and 4 defenders required we have a problem. Any one think Smallwood could be converted to an emergency centre-half or Ben Brereton to a full-back,cos the squad looks as unbalanced as it did in Gary Bowyers time with maybe about15 midfielders!

Actually agree it wouldnt do any harm playing all the "good players"Mowbray says he signed this summer -as they clearly need more practice to gel!! A full-strength team seems sensible. Maybe give Graham a rest(our only source of goals)and Mulgrew(for his quality),otherwise I wouldnt worry about "potential injuries". The academy lads might be an improvement on what he signed.

A major worry with this "attractive attacking football" is that we have no strikers at the club. At least Lambert got the defence sorted(in spite of Duffys occasional blunders)! All the evidence suggests Coyles teams cant defend. Very worrying. Still Lamberts so-called "good contacts"amounted to very little,Graham on loan excepted.
