millwall.gifMillwall look to revive their promotion push when they entertain struggling Swindon at The Den this evening.


The Lions dropped two points at Stockport last Saturday and manager Kenny Jackett has vowed to shake things up to kick-start his side's fortunes.

Millwall conceded two late goals at Edgeley Park, leaving Jackett angry at losing ground on their promotion rivals.

He said: "I'm frustrated but there's a lot of games left and it's up to me to continue to try to find the right equation on the pitch.

"I still have every confidence in my lads to go on a run that will get us promotion."

One absentee this evening will be midfielder Dave Martin who is suspended after being sent off at Stockport. Marc Laird is likely to replace him.

Lewis Grabban could make a return to the squad but Paul Robinson is still injured and misses out.

Izale McLeod should be leading the line, fresh from his brace of goals at Edgley Park.

Millwall (from): Forde, Pidgley, Dunne, Craig, Whitbread, Frampton, Bolder, Abdou, Henry, Barron, Grimes, Harris, McLeod, Hackett, Laird, Grabban.

Venue: The Den

Kick-off: 7.45pm

Travel: Nearest station is South Bermondsey. Supporters planning to travel by car should allow plenty of time due to major roadworks near Blackheath Hill, resulting in lengthy traffic jams in Greenwich, Deptford and New Cross.

Well that was pretty dire, wasn't it? Swindon deserved to take the three points. We were very lucky to claw back a draw in the 90th minute.
