Now this is a big game. Win and we cement our place in the play offs by being 9 points ahead of Huddersfield. Lose, and we’re just another defeat away from dropping out of them.
After a highly disappointing draw against Gillingham last weekend followed by an uncharacteristic Parkinson emotive rant, it is going to be interesting to see the players’ reaction this weekend. Is the pressure getting to Parky and the players or will the outburst provide some kind of catalyst for the rest of the season? If by some long shot it’s the latter we really do still have a chance of one of those automatic spots with the games we still have to play.
Not hopeful though.
With Burton seemingly out for the count it will be interesting to see what Parky does up top. Will he go to the ineffective-so-far Akpooney combination or will he resort to one upfront and re-introduce Jonjo (please) to play behind one of them?
I hope that Reid is fit allowing Bailey to slot back into the centre alongside Semedo with Sam on the right. I can’t see any changes to the defensive line from Saturday other that Randolph starting in goal.
We need not to lose this game but its going to be difficult against a Huddersfield team that can score goals.
A John Robinson moment is needed. Will we get it?
A satisfactory 1-1 for me.

3-1 to Huddersfield I fear but would love to be proved wrong
2-0 to Udders...
Parky ''lifted'' the side after Millwall... and we got a point at home against a club that hasn't won away all season! If that's a ''lift'' I really can't see us getting anything at Huddersfield, who I thought were one of the best teams to come to the Valley this season.
Having predicted wins the last two weeks and been wrong, hopefully I'm wrong again. But I dread to think what the table might look like on Sat night. Quite possibly just three points above seventh.
Of course, Parky has to play Shelvey. But he probably won't...
Sorry. I'm clearly feeling a bit down today. I feel our future is really in the balance. We've had plenty of so-called 'must win' games this season which weren't really. This one probably is as close as it gets.
in our 82 seasons of league football millwall have only been in one division higher for 5 seasons as opposed to our 45 seasons above them(26 one above, 19 two above) the last time was season 74/5 before i started watching in 1976, don't do this to me charlton perlease don't do this to me cos i will hunt you all down and make you suffer like i will be made to suffer...............
won't happen, we will get beat.
but maybe i've got it all wrong and it really is the valley boo boys and not some odd tactical choices every week (please play shelvey) that turn parky's boys into jibbering wrecks and so are the reason why our wheels have come off a little.what a great opportunity for the players, under no pressure and no one to hurt their little feelings.maybe the players will respond to this huge game for us (any tickets left?) as they show a bit of backbone and put ourselves right back into the mix and send signals to the rest of the league that we really mean business going into the final straight.
i think parky will be looking for damage limitation and try to get a 0-0 draw up there to stop huddersfield from grabbing one of the play-off places that we are stumbling away from,but hopefully millwall away where we had no shots on target for a london derby would have shown him not to bother with that thought again.
2-1 away win shocker
As for us I think a draw is the best we can expect and we shall be there to shout encouragement and not boo.
As for who will be in the team, I have no idea but suggest that 4-5-1 with Shelvey playing would be preferable, if Shelvey doesn't play then questions have to be asked.
WSS - nice summary.
Richardson Sodje Dailly Borrowdale
Sam Semedo Bailey Reid
Shelvey
Sodje
I think 4-5-1 is what works best for us, especially away, Mooney up top on his own won't work and though Sodje doesn't really win alot he is a big lump.
Want Shelvey back in the team, but it won't happen. If it does it will be in place of Racon, which would be a bit unlucky for him as I think he has been one of our better players recently.
Heart says 0-0....Head, 2-0 Udders.
I honestly don't think our players are mentally strong enough for games like this. 3-0 Huddersfield.
Uncle, can you ask JJ to do the golf swing when he gets his brace tomorrow
wonky teeth?
3-0 Huddersfield
If we can somehow get a draw it would be great
I doubt he'll even get on. You do mean Saturtday dont you? and not tomorrow
