MillersMad Match Thread...Millers v Leyton Orient

[Townerslovechild]

James is decent left back or wing back, who has tendency to be done by pace when playing as a fullback, this seems less of problem when playing as a wingback.
Might not play today, so the obvious swop would be either Kaleta or Martha, and sounds like Martha's mind and body is still in another time zone, so Kaleta to come in.
Plenty of choice in midfield still, but Gore,Benson, and Spence.
Raffa,Rules and Baptiste in defence, with Huggy Bear and The Sheriff up top.
Difficult game.......1-1.

CT I haven?t seen an article suggesting James is injured but could be wrong, I thought his substitution at Northampton was purely tactical

James is a doubt due to injury. Nothing serious according to MH but he may not be ready for today's match. Tight hamstring.

Towner I think Kaleta is still injured so don?t know what we?ll do in the left wing back position like Gru says will probably stick Powell there, it?s a shame about James as he and Powell have a very good partnership down that side, the plus side of it is Powell is a very intelligent player and his defensive attributes sometimes go unnoticed I don?t mind him being there but it?s not something Hamshaw will want to do for a long period I just hope Hamshaw isn?t tempted to stick Jules there he?s played left back before but can?t see him zooming up and down this would be to a accommodate Raggett but make us very disjointed just hope this game has come too soon for him he?s still got a part to play but for me he?s just a bit part we just can?t rely on him regularly

You missed Alex Revell played for both clubs. Their fans give him some stick at Wembley but as we know too well he had the last say.

Damn it! In my defence, I'm certain Revell was on the draft I put together but thanks anyway for pointing out this glaring omission.

[Scum-Triumphant]

I?m looking forward to the match today.

More than happy that Benson is proving me wrong. In my defence, his first couple of cameos. He looked like he had never seen a football before.
I like Spence but I don?t think him and Benson can play together. Needs a bit of steel in there from Gore.

I predict that Martha will keep developing here. Leave for free or a small transfer fee and go on to bigger things.

As others have said, if James isn't fit, I would imagine Powell will play there. It'll be a different game for him today though because he'll have to defend, something which he wasn't called upon to do against Northampton.

As others have said, Martha probably won't be quite ready. In my head we signed Martha as a left wing back but I don't really want to see him playing there. I want to see him in a front 2 or 3 wreaking havoc for defences. Him, Benson and Nombe all playing well would be a handful for any defence in this league.

You don't want Martha playing there but today I think you will. Can't see him shackling Powell to the lwb role

The big threat for me today is their fire power.

They've rattled in 20 goals already this season coming from Ballard 6, Connolly 5, Josh Koroma 4 who we all know and the rest from other players. They do have a weakness though and that is they've conceded 22 goals so obviously poor in defence and we must put away chances we create!

Anything can happen today, let's hope it's to the good.....UTM!

NB. So so glad Sammy boy is back!

Remembering Darren Jay today in the 57th minute.
Sorry not to be there for it.
Instead at S6 Sheffield
Northern General hospital.

Over on Facebook they?ve got the team line up already got Martha starting and no Sherif at all! Wonder what?s up there if this is correct

Yes it?s correct. Team line up on Twitter. Hugill starts. Nombe on bench.

[Edinburghmiller]

Just announced, Spence in for Hall. Don?t know why

[caytonmiller]

We have the illness in the camp.
Hall due to illness. Hugill also suffering though starting.

Good win for P'boro away at Burton.

Watched the O's game against Donny. Ballard scored a hat-trick, but the player to watch was Connolly. He's one of those irritating, little zippy players, so if Jules and Raggett feature in a back 3 we could be in trouble.

Fans on their forum are much more confident than we are.

[caytonmiller]

Hopefully sherif has the same illness not injured
