Time Out says

Given that they boast the worst away record in their division, Aldershot's 3-0 victory in their first-round replay at League 2 rivals Rotherham was quite a surprise. A win at the Den, then, would be a true shock, after Millwall's fine league form extended to a 3-0 win at Chester in the last round. As long as Kenny Jackett is true to his word and has not given into the temptation of returning to his old club, Watford, by the time this match kicks off, the Lions will be very confident of their chances. But even if he stays, the club may have to get used to speculation about their manager's future - as well as a predictable increase in 'Fast Show' or Phil Collins-related puns coming Jackett's way; such is the price of success. As for the players, young Ashley Grimes may have another opportunity to stake a claim for a regular first-team berth after his last-minute strike against Chester and recent goals for the reserves.
