Yann and Haynes for me. Yann should win plenty of flicks and hopefully Danny can exploit the large but ponderous Shittu. I want to see Gower come in if the loan is complete. He will want to impress and knows what us playing Millwall means. Make sure you tell him nla. Gower would also bring a lot of composure and experience to the match.
Nothing in the team will change, Powell shouldn't change a winning team no matter who is on the bench or coming back from injury/suspension.
Kermorgant will be so pumped for the game he'll probably get sent off again anyway!
I love the fella but he got sent off for a silly petulant kick out, and what kind of a message are you sending to the rest of the team if he walks straight back in?
The only reason not to play him (fitness issues aside) would be because Fuller had done a great job in his absence, as he hasn't this is a no-brainer, he plays.
Fair point sam, but he got absolutely battered in league one every week without ever lashing out (in fact even getting some dodgy decisions our way), so his moment of madness against Forest should hopefully be a one off.
Personally, I'd make him drink three pints of raw eggs a day until the morning off the 16th and then let him loose.

*tin hat on*
Most of the rest of the squad will be more worried about win bonuses, their place in the team, the price of sugar, playing golf the next day or what the weather is up to than whether he should sit the match out.
He travelled with the squad yesterday, but can't see him coming back in the 11.
If this Gower comes in, he faces a battle on his hands first off. But in the long run, Gower will benefit Stephens. Learn the trade off a pro who statistically was one of the best passers in the PL in Swansea's first crack in the PL.
I disagree with the whole don't change a winning team, you should always strive to better yourself, I never went on Saturday but in both the Burnley home and Peterborough away Fuller just hasn't been good enough, I'm not sure if it's lack of comitment but it doesn't hasn't seemed to come off for him. Saying that with his quick feet and ability to drive at players I'd like to see him up against Shittu at one point who is no mug but very slow on the turn. Will be intresting to see if Harriot will play or will Powell think it won't be the sort of game for him. I hope he plays as Millwall mates of mine constantly refer to the Right back area being a weak link with them when Adam Smith doesn't play.
With the pitch being so bad, we'll have to play it long and that means Kermorgant should play. And he's one of our few regular goalscorers this season. Leave Fuller on the bench.

Only thing Powell needs to do is have a quiet word and remind him we need him for the full 90 mins
