A tough game me thinks Bit of a bogey team not beat them at home since the 80s from what I heard They battered us last season at home until we nicked a draw in the dying minutes If we can score first we have a good chance,but we haven't gone 1-0 down in a few games so if we do,it will be a big test for the whole team Put my neck on the line I think it will be a draw They are a physical team who will be hard to break down and showed against leeds they are no pushover We have enough in our team to win this game if we can click like we did against Bolton Come on you Rs

Big difference from a few weeks is we now have a chance in every game and we can look forward to the game rather than dreading it.
Yes, Millwall are a tough, physical team, but they won't be looking forward to playing us either now we have Hemed and Wells and in form Eze and Freeman.
The Live on SKY factor is always a concern though. It is ages once again since we last won on SKY
A little bit of searching on 11v11 has shown me the following facts;
- We last beat Millwall in February 2006 with a Marc Nygaard winner - Since then we've had 3 games at home to Millwall, drawing all 3 - We haven't lose at home to the Lions since February 1989 - Our biggest home win against them is 6-1, in 1922 and 1966 - Since our FA Cup meeting in 1995, EVERY goal we have scored at home to Millwall has come in the SECOND half of matches
For the first 45 minutes last season they gave us the runaround and I thought they were one of the best away teams to visit LR. They were all over us and cruised into a 2 -0 lead before everything changed with the sending off of Lee Gregory. We managed to get it back to 2 - 2 on 85minutes and Freeman almost got us a winner in injury time but it was Matt Smith who caused them no end of problems in that 2nd half. Be interesting to see if Smith plays any part in tonight's game.
Apparently Hemed has to fast because it's Yom Kippur and he is devout Jew. Adults begin fasting at sundown the night before Yom Kippur and continue until one hour after sunset on Yom Kippur.
Today's sunset is 19.22 so we could bring him on anytime after 20.22.
Very good first half performance. We have looked good going forward and whilst the tall Millwall centre half has caused some concern from set pieces our defence has looked quite solid. Important to keep our concentration in the 2nd half and hopefully get at least one more goal.
Millwall have brought on Steve Morison and they are beginning to dominate in the early stages of the 2nd half. The big centre half, Cooper, was unlucky when rising above all THE QPR defenders to head the ball against the bar. We really need to buck our ideas up or we are going to concede.
