I hate to break this to you, but shitty little Millwall are actually THE form team in the division, especially away from home. They have drawn 3 and won 3 of their last 6 aways..........the wins coming at Derby, Swansea & Bristol.
Plus, it is precisely the presence of a holding midfielder that allows our fullbacks to keep popping up in the opposition penalty box. The role is absolutely pivotal to Bielsaball. Phillips plays it superbly. Without him, we may well be screwed. FWIW, I think Bielsa will play White in there again, even though that experiment apparently was not a huge success v Hudds.
