Derby Day for Robbo

Last updated : 01 January 2010 By Van Blerk's Crossing

Millwall entertain Derby County in the Third Round of the FA Cup tomorrow, echoing their classic run of 1937 that saw The Lions reach the semi-finals for the third time in their history.

Back then Millwall had to see off two non-league sides before facing Derby, Chelsea and Man City before bowing out to Sunderland in the last four. And having already dispatched AFC Wimbledon and Staines Town in emphatic style at The Den, Kenny Jackett's men are looking forward to testing their mettle against Nigel Clough's Robbie Savage-less side.

"This is a great opportunity for us to pit our wits against a team from a higher level," captain Paul Robinson told the club's official website. "It's a welcome distraction from the league and a game that we are all looking forward to. But make no mistake, we are looking to win this match and get through to the next round.

"We will really go at them, take the game to them and hopefully be able to show everyone what we are capable of, and with the fans behind us, let's hope we can all enjoy a successful day."
