WE KNOW only too well that tonight's game is going to be a tough one. We have played on some heavy pitches recently and it is sure to be heavy going again at The New Den.

The prospect of a fourth round trip to Coventry City is an inviting one, but they will be feeling exactly the same. Millwall is never an easy place to go, but we will be well-prepared and up for the task at hand.

The only thing missing from our performance in the original tie ten days ago was a goal, so we will be looking to put that right.

Saturday's game against Swindon Town was an extremely open and end-to-end affair. I have to take my hat off to both teams for producing a match like that in what were difficult conditions.

Both teams did their best to win it, but a draw was probably a fair result in the end.

It means that we remain in the mix and we want to stay there.
