If Millwall fail to name a recognised striker this weekend against Hull City, Neil Harris will have to consider a change in their system.

The Lions are devout users of the 4-4-2 formation, but in situations where they are losing games late on, Harris had moved away from that in favour of a late switch to try and get something from the game.

Aiden O’Brien, Tom Elliott and Tom Bradshaw are all out through injury and will take no part in this weekend’s fixture.

Lee Gregory and Steve Morison are highly doubtful to play, but Harris has not ruled either of them out entirely as of yet. 

If they pair are deemed not fit enough, then with the lack of attacking options, Harris will have to consider a system change, one that he has already thought about when speaking to the media ahead of Saturday.

“There could be a change of shape, possibly,” Harris said.

“We have to find a way if there are not many options. We have wide players and players with ability on the ball, and we’ve had to find a different avenue to go.”

It remains to be seen who will be fit for the hugh clash at The Den between the two sides and with that said, here are two systems Millwall could utilise after early team news emerged.

If the Lions line up without a recognised striker on the pitch come kick-off on Saturday, a 4-3-3 system could be adopted that turns into 4-5-1 without the ball.

You would imagine Jed Wallace would be played centrally with Shane Ferguson and possibly Jiri Skalak either side of the 24-year-old.

In doing that it will mean Harris will have to have three central midfielders and with Shaun Williams out, it will likely be Jem Karacan, Ryan Tunnicliffe and Ryan Leonard with the usual back four behind them.

With the chance to change the system a real possibility at the weekend.

But if Lee Gregory and Steve Morison are not ruled out, there is a chance that Millwall could indeed line up as 4-4-2 with the pair starting.

This system seems highly unlikely considering the duo will not be 100 per cent fit, but it is undoubtedly an option while the couple continue to be monitored.
