Spackman: Under pressure
Having failed to muster a single goal at home in their last two games, Millwall boss Nigel Spackman is set to make wholesale changes to his side as The Lions prepare to take on Gillingham at The Priestfield Stadium this evening.

The manager is set to place the emphasis on attack and may include a number of fringe players in order to shake the team out of the rut that they've fallen into, knowing that another defeat could spell the end of his short reign at The Den.

"The time has come for a change, and there will be changes tonight," he told the club's official site.

"We have added a number of players to the squad, including Chris Zebroski, Zoom Bakayogo and Ali Fuseini, and I know my team and how we are going to play. There may be a surprise or two.

"We have to play with energy tonight and have players who are capable of coming on from the bench and changing the game if necessary.

"Gillingham are a strong, resilient side who had a very good win at Doncaster on Saturday, so we have to go there and take the game to them."
