Preview: Donny V Millwall

Last updated : 20 March 2012 By David Shanks

Another massive 3 points on offer as Rovers take on The Lions in a relegation battle.

Rovers have four games in the next eleven days, and first up are Millwall.

Dean Saunders has named a relatively unchanged side in the past few games, but might be forced to freshen up his starting eleven after Saturday’s dyer display against Derby.

He admitted after the 2-1 defeat that his side deserved to lose against the Rams, and accused his players of “switching off mentally” and taking their eye off the ball after the tougher games against West Ham and Reading.

Shelton Martis is unlikely to feature tonight after hobbling off against Derby with problems in his calf and hamstring. Sam Hird should be back in the starting eleven.

John Oster comes into contention for a start in midfield after a brilliant display against Derby when he came on as a substitute in the second half, and Saunders may also consider starting James Hayter.

Victory for Rovers would move them to within three points of the Lions and one point off safety if Bristol should lose.

My prediction last game was way off, but I feel today I may be closer, as I predict a very close, hard fought game.

My Prediction: Rovers 1-0 Millwall.
