That was my thought as well.Hutch ahead of cooper?
I'd have Bradshaw instead of Afobe but I think that you have our starting line-up.As it stands right now, what would be your starting XI for the first game if everyone is fit?

Cresswell Hutch Murray

Hutch ahead of cooper?
Would definitely play two up front, at home anyway, Bradshaw and Afobe link up well together, can be too easy to defend against when playing the lone striker.Bart

Don't see Mitchell ahead of Saville or Leonard and Cooper out is not the best. If Matt Smith and the Everton fellow comes in--there would be more changes--The options going to be difficult for GR--but I don't think one will see this suggested line up.As it stands right now, what would be your starting XI for the first game if everyone is fit?

Definitely!Hutch ahead of cooper?
Agree but also scored goalsJust my preference. Cooper made a lot of mistakes last season.

I think Cooper will start ahead of Hutchinson if Cresswell gets an automatic place. I think Cooper loses a bit of confidence when not Paired with Hutchinson, they were a very good pairing not that long ago. Tough choices for Rowett and i think it may come down to which two centre halves are most confident and capable with the ball at their feet. Cresswell is certainly ahead of both of them on technical ability.Cooper,

Malone, Saville, Leonard, Bennett, Mitchell are all worthy starters - that’s how good we now look.
Again, this could be one of the best Millwall sides you will ever see.
Totally agree with that. I note Malone is still included by many, probably due to the fact we have limited left footers, but for my money shouldn't be in the starting 11..I can't remember a season like this for a long time. We're having trouble picking a first 11 not because we're trying to scrape together a semi decent line up but because we've got so many options. I can't wait for the start of the season.
One thing I am sure of though is that Billy Mitchell should be one of the first names on the team sheet for every match. He mightn't always be the most spectacular of players but he gets through alot of work. He's a bit like the oil in the machine. You might not notice it when the engine's running but try operating an engine without oil. And Billy will improve this year.
