Can't see it being anything other than extended unfortunately, WBA have Long, Odemwingie, Lukaku, Fortuné, Rosenberg and El Ghanassy and they only tend to play a lone striker with another in behind anyway. No point in him going back there when he's starting for an in-form Championship club.
Millwall play at a quick tempo and have lots of pace in their front six positions. They have a quick passing style of play and the front two of Wood & Keogh look a real handful. Trotter also looks dangerous on third man runs from Cent Mid. Hopefully CP will come up with the right game-plan. We need to get in behind their centre backs and attack their left side. Lowery at left back looks the weakness, lacks pace and didn't get much protection from Taylor in front. Haynes & Fuller will be key players if we can get them running in behind. In the midfield areas, we will have to be sharp on the ball and retain possession better than at Burnley. If we don't, Millwall will be very difficult to handle.

Someone bothered to watch the game then. I'd agree & say full backs are our weak areas, perhaps flooding the midfield with 5 across the middle would overrun Trotter/Abdou as well. Trotter is a class player, but does allow opposition midfield time on the ball, 3 vs 2 in the middle of the park & I think we'd struggle a bit.
We're creating plenty of chances though, not sure how to stop our attacking prowess at the moment.
Chris Woods wouldnt last 2 minutes with that goal celebration... running, slowing down opening arms wide and leaping into anothers mans arms? It was just plain odd!

Millwall have confirmed striker Chris Wood has extended his loan deal from West Brom until January
Due a defeat in a couple of weeks time, then.
