The Story in 60 Seconds

The72 writer Euan Walsh argues that Millwall manager Alex Neil should make key tactical and personnel changes for Saturday's trip to West Bromwich Albion following a 3-0 defeat against Birmingham City. Walsh suggests returning to a 4-2-3-1 formation after the 4-4-2 setup proved unstable at St Andrew's, noting that the Lions have collected only four points from their last five league fixtures.

According to Walsh, Jenson Metcalfe should return to the midfield alongside Derek Mazou-Sacko following a suspension, while Mark Sykes should be introduced on the right wing for stability. With Mihailo Ivanovic and Josh Coburn recovering from injuries, the writer recommends that Lyndon Dykes start as the central striker at The Hawthorns.
