Away fans pubs
All local pubs near the stadium are home supporters only and it is recommended that Argyle fans do not attempt to gain entry.
Most away supporters travelling by train will stop off somewhere around London Bridge, though it is still advised to keep club colours covered up. The Shipwrights Arms (SE1 2TF), The Pomellers’ Rest (SE1 2UN), and The George Inn (SE1 1NH) are among some of the recommended pubs in that area.

Travel and parking
SE16 3LN.
Those driving should be aware of the long-term roadworks that are continuing to cause disruption on the A12. It is also important to note that The Den is located within the new Greater London ULEZ zone, and it is worth making sure you check whether your vehicle meets the requirements ... check here.
There are no official Club provided car parking facilities.

No win against Milwall in the league since 13/12/1997 isnt a great stat for us,Lets hope for a change in some luck and fortune for us COYG!!!!

 

[mutley marvel]

Bouncebackability is required on Saturday
Millwall are in the mould of Stoke so they will be roughing us up from kick off
No longer can we rely on other teams
Hopefully the boys will be fully switched on from kick off
We need points 🤞

 

[ApplePie]

Millwall’s recent home form is impressive - can see another Stoke type result

 

[slingsbypobble]

Honestly I don't envy Nancesnip. How can you pick a starting XI after last week? Sack them all off and play the youth team?

Massive respect to all the travelling faithful. Not an easy journey, and possibly the Championship's least welcoming ground.

I'm fearing the worst again. 2-1 heartbreaker

 

[oldage]

Heart says a draw , head another loss. The whole team are running on fumes

 

[Hargyle]

Heart says Whittaker and Hardie will both score worldy's in a comfortable win ...

Head says we'll score a scrappy early goal and then hang on for dear life ...

 

[Garland Greene]

We wont score against them. Recently they rarely concede more than one goal. Best we can hope for is a 0-0 imo.

 

[Koala Green]

I think we channel our inner Foster, play very boring football, defend deep, restrict chances, maybe get into their penalty area once a half. And if Morgs can’t score a worldie then hope for a 0-0 and an important point.

Reading the Millwall fans website, language somewhat colourful and threatening occasionally. Maybe me being paranoid or them playing to the galleries. Horrible football club, even back in the 1930,s the ground was shut because of crowd trouble. Been to the Old Den in the mid eighties, they beat us 2-0 and got promoted with George Graham in charge. Actually stood amongst the Millwall fans as I was up in London at the time. 15,000 mostly men between the ages of 15-50,bars open in the ground serving drinks all during the game. Bit of an eye opener to be honest. Not the nicest part of London most definitely. Fulham away on the other hand is a delight!.Errr enjoy for the Argyle fans errr lucky enough to have a ticket. Coygs! (from the safety of my front room!).

Problem is even if we restrict them from open play they will undoubtably have corners and be lumping free kicks into our box which isn’t our strength. Scarr, Phillps, Gibson for this one

 

[GreenTommy]

Win at all costs, they're not a possession based team so will happily watch us pass it around and will beat us physically. Our best bet is too try and get runners in behind, may be worth bringing Hardie on as impact or even throw them off by giving Isakka a chunk of time.

 

[Essence of Tong]

It won't happen, but I'd like to see Morgan dropped to the bench, and Waine come in to help Hardie with the shadow-chasing. Is Morgan a better player than Waine? Obviously, by miles. But a bit more mobility both in and out of possession might be worth more to us right now. Or we gamble and play Morgan and Waine behind Hardie in a Carey/Lameiras type set up. But can we not have both Morgan and Hotdog both so isolated in their respective roles. Yes they're both tired, but they're also both working in silos.
Can't see past a 1-0 Millwall win, sadly. Hope I'm wrong. I often am.

Never dropping MW, he's poor out of possession but he can pop up with a 30 yarder at any time. lack of creativity in behind is an issue, especially without Foreshaw.

 

[Essence of Tong]

Can totally see that viewpoint, just feel like the 'regular' way we set up results in next to no chances created and something needs to change
