Andy Myers believes the City big guns are being wheeled out in the nick of time.

Nicky Law is likely to call on the heavy artillery for tomorrow's dogfight at Millwall.

Myers, Wayne Jacobs, Peter Atherton, Robert Molenaar and Jamie Lawrence could all be in as Law goes for experience to put a stop to the five-match losing run.

City's injury agony seems to be easing at last and Myers feels the return of key players can turn the tide.

The player of the year said: "Millwall is a huge game for us and we've got to dig deep and get something. That's why it will help having a lot of experience coming back.

"We've had a young squad out lately and it can't have been easy for them. I think they have done well because it's a very difficult time to come in. We've had to find 11 players because there have been so many out injured. Youngsters have made up the nucleus of the side and people like Simon Francis have taken their chance.

"The kids have worked hard but this sort of situation calls for experience. If you do go a goal down, you are looking around the pitch and wondering how people are going to handle it.

"The lads coming back have been through this sort of patch before and hopefully have the experience to see out of trouble."

Myers made a surprise appearance as a sub in the 5-0 drubbing by Sheffield United, having missed the previous three games with a groin tear.

He added: "I didn't expect to be in the squad because I'd only trained for two days before the game. It was a bit of a gamble but the injury situation forced it.

"I wasn't going to start because there would have been a risk of breaking down but I was glad to come through it.

"Now I've had a full week to prepare for this one and I'm definitely getting there. Millwall away is always a horrible trip but we need to get at least a draw."

City have lost six in a row on their travels since the 1-0 win at Walsall on September 14. They have leaked 18 goals in four matches to drop to the brink of the relegation zone. But Myers remains confident City can pull clear of danger with the influx of battle-hardened faces.

He said: "We don't want to start panicking. When we do that it will all go wrong.

"If we start defeating ourselves and letting confidence slip then we won't get out of this run.

"But I'm sure we will turn it round and get the right results now that some of the injured boys are on the way back.

"Most of those who have been out were playing at the start of the season when our form was good. You lose a lot of players and it knocks the stuffing out of you.

"No matter how big your squad is, losing key players will affect you."
