Millwall will be looking forward to playing us on Saturday.

Coburn is tall, but I'm not convinced he is that 'physical' yet. He's a kid still and fairly skinny

I think he will develop into a powerful striker, but realistically not many at that age (unless of a freak of nature like Rooney) are going to be mixing it up with seasoned Champo CBs.
 
Trust me, Viv. We were terrific against QPR, Derby and Sheffield United, but have slipped a lot in the last two and were very fortunate to draw last night. The injurieshave taken their toll, with nine first team players out.
To an outsider who barely sees any Millwall games, it just seemed like an outlandish claim but I take your word for it. If Millwall are starting to feel the strain the Boro will really need to start well and make them run. Maybe Millwall won’t have the energy to press us in like Sheffield did last night and we can pass the ball better because if we just turn up and start launching it like we did at Brammall Lane it could be a long afternoon.

Spot on, he will fill out, wise up, gain confidence and presence.
But what is already there is the ability to find the onion bag and that won't go away.
