[Saddlebrains]

Right let’s put an end to this @Saddlebrains once you get the squad can you please tell us Dovin is back in (even if he’s not ).

I wouldnt even be sure it's going to be played

That storm due for tonight is currently classed as the strongest storm on the planet. Red warnings everywhere.

Id be sticking a tenna on a shitload of games being called off. Ours included

So there is a storm due in Wales and the Bristol channel, not in London.

Red Warning is just for Devon, Cornwall and South Wales

Not seen anything for London to suggest the game is in jeopardy

Storm Darragh: Met Office issues rare red wind warning

The Met Office says the approaching storm poses a danger to life in coastal parts of Wales and south-west England.

Not many games will be played in the west and wales

Got a chance in other places

Whole country is under a yellow, that will be amber by tomorrow morning /later tonight

Games have been played in yellow weather warnings before, we played Bristol City last season and it was a nightmare getting there and during the game

It's the West and Wales that will bear the brunt of this storm, we should be absolutely fine

 

[David O'Day]

Plymouth v Oxford and Cardiff v Watford already been called off

Yes but the storm is hitting as has been said the West and Wales the worst.

You get yellow warnings on most storms, it's likely to be wet and windy but nothing so far says a game in south east london is likely to be off

Hypothetically if they game was being played, is it Dovin or Dovin to start in goal?

£10 charity bet that our game goes ahead tomorrow - let me know which charity you nominate

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Train ticket open return from Nuneaton and ticket for game going anyone ???

 

[skybluelee]

The Yeovil v Weymouth FA trophy match is expected to go ahead and its going to be a lot windier there than in London, surely the City game will be fine.

50% rain and 45 mile an hour winds all day tomorrow, can’t wait

The weather in SE London at 3pm is mildish, wet and gusty



Nothing so far unless there's a big over night change to say the game is at risk

If people are getting the Train, i'd leave at bit earlier if possible though

There's some pretty shit weather now predicted to hit the SE.
Not the same severity as the SW so should be OK but we'll see.

nowhere near as bad as above

 

[SBT]

Certified freak
Seven days a week

wet and gusty

Make that pullout game weak

 

[Offhegoes]

Frank is going into a cauldron tomorrow, what with his West Ham & Chelsea connections.

We need to start well and nullify the crowd.

Millwall will be pumping the ball into our box, and looking for freekicks anywhere in the final third, to get a set piece.

I’m cautiously optimistic though.

Millwall's greatest ever manager died in the week (John Docherty)

I'd probs guess that their minds will be leaning towards paying tribute to him as opposed to booing Lampard

 

[usskyblue]

Simms will start

1-3 win

 

[itsabuzzard]

Looking forward to the game but very apprehensive. It's our last weekend together before christmas so offered to take my beloved christmas shopping in London and having a long weekend away. She doesn't have a clue we're going to the game. She hasn't been to an away game for years, and when she finds out she has a ticket to Millwall there's a good chance there will be a late ticket available

Is that because you'll be in A & E?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Hopefully we adapt our tactics, depending on the conditions. Passing it sideways around the back in wet. windy conditions can only end in tears. Sunday morning grit going to be needed, as well as cool heads.

 

[David O'Day]

If just settle down and play we should be okay, conditions could make it a bit of toss up though

we played some pretty good stiff in the first half last week

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Which defender was that ?

 

[wingy]

Just don't suffer from exposure, leaf's on the line, cables down etc!

Settle down Michael Fish

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Settle down Michael Fish

Pedants Corner: Actually Michael Fish is most famous for saying there wouldn’t be a lethal storm.
A-thank you.

Hurricane wasn't it?

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Hurricane wasn't it?

I think so! Didn’t it blow a tree over that nearly killed Rene from ‘Allo Allo’

 

[David O'Day]

Fish does say there was not going to be a hurricane and technically he was right

 

[Skybluekyle]

It was an off-the-cuff remark which I stated with utter disregard for historical accuracy, calm down lads
