Points Please Players : Milwall Match Preview
By 4two
March 6 2003
To throw away points at home at this stage of the season would be careless, especially when our rivals are in patchy form. A win is needed, a draw wouldn't be the end of the world, but a defeat would be catastrophic.

You cannot miss the
stadium if you travel along the M6. It is just off Junction 9, then
the A461 road leads you around to the Stadium. It is well signposted
from the Motorway. You can Leave at Junction 10, it takes longer but
it is also sign posted. It is a 20 minute walk from the town center,
and it is also served by its own Station "Bescot Stadium
Station". (Guide
to Bescot) |

Lee would
presumable like to stick with the Same XI from the last two games,
but with O'Connor and Leitao doubtful Lee may have to reshuffle.
Central defenders Hay and Carbon are still someway from being fit,
so its the same defensive pairing as last time ! |
|
|
|
To say that Milwall
are in the middle of an injury crisis is putting it mildly! Steven
Reid, Richard Sadlier, Tim Cahill, Matt Lawrence and Alan Dunne are
all out of Saturdays clash and Magoo has selection problems (What a
shame !)

Did
you know that both sides have scored the majority of this
seasons goals in the last half an hour of their games. The Saddlers have
hit the net 20 times (46 total) , while Milwall have scored 25 of their 40
goals in the last half an our. |

One2Watch:
Vinny Samways makes his home debut
after making a favorable impression in his last two outings. His
know how and excellent engine have given the Saddlers midfield some
much needed substance. |
|
. |
|
One2Watch:
Seeming as veteran midfielders are
all the rage in this weeks one2watch, we cannot go without
mentioning the pragmatic Dennis Wise. Dirty Den is a real character
and like Paul Ince has dropped down to the nationwide to prolong his
playing career. |
|
|
|
| Verdict |
| When
fans total up the points to see how many we will have come the end of the
season, this will have been one of the games they earmarked as three
points to the Saddlers. 1 defeat in 4 is a decent record, and 1 defeat in
5 will push us further away from the dreaded bottom three. |
|
| Prediction:
The Saddlers 2-1 The Lions |
