Riley is out with a foot injury and is in for scans on it this week. Could be out for at least a month. Hopefully not longer unless the scans reveal anything sinister.
Lonergan could see himself given another chance after his impressive display against Sunderland.
Sordell has had surgery this week on his phone. Freedman performed the operation himself and later told us "There have been small issues off the field with his tweeting. It could be bordering on an obsession with Twitter and Facebook and all the things that go on with these kids. We are now trying to work with Marvin — by taking his phone off him.” I find it strange that the club have come out and said these things publicly. Will Sordell's cup outing and goal be enough to get him another start this weekend?
It seems unlikely that we will see any new signings in time for the Millwall game with the Baggies holding onto Craig Dawson for the time being. Having said that, if the paperwork flies through, we might get a glimpse of CraaiiigDavid, errr Davies who will probably challenge for a place on the bench. There is no return for Butterfield either.
Wheater, Holden and Vela are all in action tomorrow night against Oldham in the Manchester senior Cup. It's probably too early to expect a return from any of them for the weekend. Could Mark Davies be nearing fitness yet too?
So based on all of that here are the players I would pick for our home tie against Millwall...
Lonergan
Ricketts Knight Ream Alonso
Eagles Spearing Andrews Lee
Sordell Ngog
KDavies, CDavies, Holden, Vela, Mills, Petrov
I certainly think that with some of the potential new signings and some of the injured players coming back we are going to have a real dilema when it comes to selecting our best eleven!
