    Millwall away then - confident ?

    Reading the Millwall tactical analysis statistics so far.
    https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/192/...gland-Millwall

    Really need to take teams like this to task now & get on a winning run.
    Sell out crowd, intimidating atmosphere what can go wrong 😂

    The match report summary of Norwich City 3-1 Millwall below, really sums up what they offer.
    They certainly are not a possession team & only offer dangers at dead ball situations.😬

    "For the most part, Millwall’s high press was virtually non-existent; the visitors seemed content with allowing Norwich’s centre-backs time in possession. While this is not uncommon in the first pressing phase, a reactive approach such as this requires a well-planned pressing strategy in the latter phases."

    "There are numerous possible pressing strategies – be it man-orientated, zone-orientated, space-orientated, or various combinations of all three – but Millwall appeared to have the weaknesses of zonal and man-orientated systems with the strengths of neither."

    We should win but that doesn’t mean we will. There are certain teams/grounds where we are prone to mess it up regardless of form.

    Oldham away used to a nightmare
    QPR away

    Millwall away seems to fall into that category.

    Think the key will be to score first and early they will then have to come at us a bit and Farke’s system should bear fruit.

    however, we all know what can happen in London!

    I am never confident when Leeds travel to London. Always contrive to play poorly. Altogether though, Leeds seem to have a decent championship level squad, except for left back. I am also slightly suspicious about starting Archie Gray, a 16 year old. We haven't seen that since Fabian Delph. But that was in League 1. I fear he will get injured - badly.

    Bit like Sheff Wednesday. They will drop deep when we have possession and try and do a bit when they have the ball, although heavily reliant on set pieces.
    If we are more clinical and cutting I can see a 3 goal win. More likely a 1 goal win imo.
    If we don't finish chances that's when I fear a narrow defeat or another draw.
    We definitely have the players to beat them comfortably.
    We also have a bigger sized set of players now so that should help.

    London's always a trap for us and the new den seems the epicenter. I can't recall ever winning there?

    However, we've never had a coach like Farke leading us into that place.

    Not confident but could see us scoring first and then getting some breaks. 1-2 us.

    Players asking fans to keep calm & behaved.
    Not sure other London club 'crews' hooligan fringe will take much notice around the Leeds fans at London Bridge train arrivals.

    Bit of a bogey side , like Cardiff , a draw or a narrow defeat but would obviously love a win.
