The Fan Zone

Ross Cooper (SkyBlues Extra): Well a brilliant 3-0 West Midlands Derby victory over Birmingham City on the weekend has given us a brilliant start to this 3 game-week before the international break.

It was a comfortable and accomplished performance against Birmingham and should give the whole squad great confidence going into these next games.

Having a 3 game week is going to ask different questions of Lampard, the squad and selection as it is quite clear we have a small squad anyway, add to that injuries to Jack Rudoni and Ephron Mason-Clarke and already in some areas we look a little light.

It is going to be interesting to see how Frank looks at Millwall on Wednesday with a early 12.30 kick off on Saturday after meaning it is a very tight turnaround.

Millwall are the only side to have beaten us this season, that was in the League Cup and although we had a much changed side that night it highlights the difficulty and potential jeopardy in this game.

I think this game as all the ingredients to be the game in which we come unstuck in, as we are not going to remain unbeaten in the league all season, a defeat is inevitable and Millwall away is a tough game, they are well drilled, have a good manager at this level and will have a clear gameplan to try and stifle our clear attacking threat.

We have scored 18 goals in the league so far, our attacking fluidity is very strong and I think we are capable of scoring on Wednesday. Back to back clean sheets in our last two games is a big plus, albeit Birmingham offered very little challenge and I expect us to have to do more defending at The Den.

I think it will be a close game and I would be very happy to come away with a point.

Prediction: 1-1
