    Maybe Bob is trying to get Millwall's hopes up before inflicting a telling psychological blow when the team sheets are presented at 2.30 and Igor is leading the attack. He is probably one of a relatively small number of players in the division capable of provoking real anxiety in the opposition.

    I've not paid much attention to Millwall this (or any other) season but one of the journalists who covers them wrote that they usually start strongly and have a tendency to fade in the second half. If that's right, it might feed into Bob's tactical approach, especially if Igor isn't fit to start.
  • I think he is just keeping Millwall guessing,

    I would imagine teams would prepare differently for Igor than say George so having that uncertainty i hope would mean they are not 100% sure who they are facing an how to prepare.

    Not from goalscorers you don't mate.

    Johnny Jackson can chip in with the odd goal, lets see eh.

    Not rocket science - just plan for the two scenarios, one with Igor playing and one with him not.

    Oh hang on a minute - it's Holloway.

    Yes what you said!!

    Igor will be fine.

    Those who were at Bromley Addicks know that.

    Alright Henry, we can't all be Bromley Addicks, taking in a trip to the Glades shopping centre, followed by a swim at the Pavilion and round it all off with a night in Delanos........

    George will start and score, Igor will come of the bench and also score. Someone will get sent off, either Bikey or Shitty.
  • BP: Saturday was very tight, it was nervous, it was a derby. But you need to take your chances for the gameball. #cafc

    BP: We won at @ReadingFC and were close to beating @MillwallFC, but it wasn't the best game for the neutral. #cafc

    BP: We are looking for another striker, but only the right one who will improve the team. #cafc

    BP: We don't just want to bring in anyone to keep the fans content, but someone like @IgorVetokele who will makes the fans say 'wow'. #cafc

    BP: It is not easy to find a striker of that quality to bring in, but we will keep looking. #cafc

    BP confirms that Stephen Henderson will be absent on Saturday and @Popey1992 is likely to play. #cafc

    BP on @Popey1992: "I thought he was one of our best players against @MillwallFC." #cafc

    BP confirms Yoni Buyens is also struggling to overcome a hamstring problem and will be assessed before Saturday's game. #cafc

    might be a blessing in disguise if Buyens isn't fit on Saturday - put Cousins in the middle with JJ & the Frenchman & then Hariott on the left & Guddy on the right....with Igor up top.

    BP: We have had good training this week. I was very disappointed on Saturday because we gave the game away. #cafc

    BP: For 70-75 minutes we played some of our best football of the season. When you create that many chances you can't lose the game. #cafc

    BP: I didn't speak to my players afterwards, but when I reflect on it maybe I should have done it differently. I am only human. #cafc

    BP: Everyone knows we are looking for a striker. They have to have the right profile and at this moment they are expensive. #cafc

    BP: The guys who are playing can do the job so we need to focus on them and let the injured players focus on their rehabilitation. #cafc

    Are you suggesting that the BP on press day is merely an emergency hologram and the comments are pre-recorded?

    If I was able to I'd now be posting a picture of a little Bob Peters hologram being projected onto a table by R2D2 and get 8-15 lols . But I'm not, so you'll just have to imagine it.
