Millwall Are Like A Rash - Boothroyd

Last updated : 28 August 2010 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Aidy Boothroyd has said that today's opponents Millwall are like a rash for the way they get all over you.

The City boss who lost twice against Millwall last season with Colchester, means that as a compliment and told the CT: "This is without doubt our toughest challenge to date. "It's not a game for the faint-hearted, it's a game for tough men who are prepared to stand up and be countered.



"If you think you can go there, be pretty and play the ball around, you'll get a kicking. Millwall are like a horrible rash and I mean that as a compliment.

"They get all over you. They're a fantastic pressing team who will pressurise us, put us into positions we don't want to be in and feed off our mistakes.

"They have got three really good strikers in Steve Morison, Kevin Lisbie and Neil Harris. Morison, in particular, has been brilliant for them - he's one of those strikers who is horrible to play against, great to have in your team.

"They've done really well under Kenny Jackett. I was really impressed with them last year and when everybody was talking about who will be up there in the Championship this season, I was thinking that they could be the surprise package."
