On Saturday, #millwall face the stern test of playing #reading at the Den. Reading have had a mixed bag of results to begin the season, not unlike the Lions! However, the Royals have managed to achieve nine points from their opening five fixtures, whilst Millwall are on seven, which means that Saturday’s encounter gives the Lions the chance to leapfrog Reading!

Reading’s last 5 fixtures (in all comps) WLLWW

Millwall are unbeaten in their last five encounters with the Royals, managing to get four wins in that time too!

It is thought that Millwall will go into the game playing their standard 3-5-2 formation, in which the wing backs are classed as part of the midfield five.

Danny McNamara will be expected to start this weekend despite a difficult start to his campaign, however there are still question marks about who will play of the left hand side, with some Millwall fans actively speaking against Scott Malone after he’s struggled in the last few games for the Lions!

Reading have had a lot of fortune since switching in the last couple of games to a 3-5-2 formation, with Holmes, Hutchinson and Mcintyre playing as a back 3 whilst Hoilett and Yiadom have now pushed up and act as part of the Reading midfield.

Our Inside Man this week are @ElmParkRoyals and @readingfanman, they were feeling moderately confident going into the game despite their poor record in recent years against the Lions, however there is still worry from within the Reading fanbase.
