Millwall v Cardiff City team line-ups: O’Brien and Smith start for Lions

BY RICHARD CAWLEY

Adam Barrett has made two changes for his final game in caretaker charge of Millwall – handing starts to Matt Smith and Aiden O’Brien.

New Lions boss Gary Rowett, appointed yesterday as Neil Harris’ successor, will watch tonight’s Championship match against Cardiff from the stands.

Jayson Molumby and Shane Ferguson drop to the bench. Ryan Leonard (knee) is not available.

There have been just six goals in the last eight league matches between the two clubs. Cardiff have lost eight of their last nine games played on a Tuesday night in all competitions.

Millwall have one win in their last nine Championship fixtures – but that was last time out as Tom Bradshaw’s goal earned a 1-0 success over Leeds United.

Millwall: Bialkowski, Romeo, Hutchinson, Cooper, M Wallace, J Wallace, Thompson, Williams, O’Brien, Smith, Bradshaw. Subs: Steele, McCarthy, Ferguson, Pearce, Molumby, Mahoney, Bodvarsson.

Cardiff City: Etheridge, Peltier, Bennett, Morrison, Flint, Ralls, Pack, Tomlin, Whyte, Ward, Hoilett. Subs: Smithies, Glatzel, Murphy, Paterson, Nelson, Mendez-Laing, Bogle.
