Pratley,Gallagher and Lockyer are on 4 yellow cards, would you rest any of them for the Preston game, so they can’t pick up a card, and end up missing the Millwall match?
Pratley has been excellent this season , but personally I’d save him for Millwall, (and put him on the bench v Preston) when an experienced head is just what we need in midfield for the Millwall game.
I’m sure Lee will suss it out, but knowing our luck at the moment with losing players, all 3 of them will play versus Preston, pick up a card and end up missing the Millwall game!
The immediate priority is getting the best result possible from our next home match.
We'll probably lose on sunday no matter who we pick. I'll bet at least one of the 3 will pick up a booking on sunday....most likely all 3 will. I'd rest them all & play some of the youngsters. Beating Millwall is all that matters. As Pp said, we aint going up this season & we aint getting relegated.
Oshilaja, Pearce& Sarr in defence, Solly, Purrington, Cullen, Kayal, Oztumer in midfield, Bonne & Leko up front.

No way are we guaranteed to be mid table. The playoffs are a possibility, and so is relegation, that 10 point cushion could go in a few weeks.
Some idiotic comments on here, you play your best team regardless. Millwall is just another game in reality it's no more important than any other League game and I'm sure Bowyer won't be thinking about it until after Preston

Some proper guff on this thread! We're not going up? Have you seen the league table, we can absolutely make the play offs, only a few points in it, it's only October!
Those writing off our chances of promotion are a lot like Aribo, Grant and Bauer. You don’t realise what we’ve got here. As long as Bowyer stays you’ll learn eventually.

“We’ll probably lose”?
We didn’t bloody lose to Leeds, Fulham, Derby or West Brom so I reckon we’ve got a chance.
Wouldn’t have wanted to be alongside you in the trenches!

Completely agree but it may be best to stay off this forum if we lose against Millwall that Saturday night
Even a draw and I can see the sort of comments that will make some of us bang our heads against the wall
"Embarrassment" | "Bottlers" will surely be a couple of words used to describe the players

Yes, this. If we fail to win I won’t be on here that weekend, for the pure fact that there will be a massive overreaction, even with a draw.
A win and I’ll be buzzing of course, that’s completely different.
Regarding the team for Sunday, it has to be our best available team. It’s pointless otherwise and what message does that send out to the players coming in or being left out for the week after? What message does that say about the rest of the season? Pick our strongest side and if we are winning, then look at taking them off if suitable and begin to have the following week in mind.
Take each game as it comes, just the way Bow has always been.
Trouble is we can rest Pratley against Preston ready for Millwall but whats to say he doesnt get injured in training?
Or do we give the lads the week off between Preston and Millwall just to be safe or even get them to train in those Zorb things?
As for the Millwall game; Its going to be 0-0 with Bonne missing a one v one in the 90th minute when all he had to do was pass it to Taylor to put it into an empty net

You’re forgetting this is Golfie . THE most negative poster in the history of CL . 😉
Fuck millwall. Our U23’s would beat those mugs. If you’re fit and ready, you play. You play your best team for Preston, beat them, and then paste the next.

possibly rest Lockyer if LB thinks Sarr can cover
Pratley rotates anyway.
Think about Millwall after Preston.
I’m sure Lee will suss it out, but knowing our luck at the moment with losing players, all 3 of them will play versus Preston, pick up a card and end up missing the Millwall game!

Even so it’s not nailed on that any of those three pick up a card against Preston anyway. It took them fourteen games to get to four.

Anyway, is there a moratorium on yellows this season? If so, when?

Lee knows best , in Lord Bowyer we trust !
After all, he's got us this far , which is better than most expected.

However he may view it as foolish to risk all three as then he would could have an effective 13 injuries for the game against our next opposition.
Injuries plus potential suspensions may lead to a minor change in approach this Sunday.
