It's a big day. Let's hope our friends in East Anglia and Sarf London do us a favour.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 12:22 pm

Watching Millwall warming up and they look up for it and raring to go.

Lets hope so.

My head says I want Luton to lose. My heart wants the promotion party on monday at home.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 12:35 pm

Good chance for Millwall there.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 12:40 pm

Bank Holiday weekend, sun shining, games with promotion, play offs and relegation at stake, a potential promotion party later, not a bad start to the weekend.

Couldn't agree more. Though nice for those travelling to Middlesbrough later if we can clinch it there.

I doubt we are alone in being selfish amd wanting us to seal promotion, at home, on Monday.

Both sides look nervous. Sloppy in possession and not committing much forward.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:18 pm

Lee Hendrie is really poor as a co comm, I mean just getting the players names right is a must.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:19 pm

Pretty poor game so far.

gtclaret · Post by **gtclaret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:20 pm

Poor quality throughout, neither team can string two passes together, we look a completely different class

He is dreadful really, he trots out the same cliches again and again, usually they aren't relevant to the situation.

Silkyskills1 · Post by **Silkyskills1** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:27 pm

The ball is screaming for mercy in the game between Millwall and Luton. No one wants to put their foot on it and pick a pass. Played so frantically I suspect a mistake from either side might settle this.

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:37 pm

Both sides need to stop playing for soft free kicks because the ref isn’t giving them.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:39 pm

West Brom leading 1-0 at Rotherham.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:39 pm

West Brom 1 up at Rotherham.

gtclaret · Post by **gtclaret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:40 pm

If Luton don't win we realistically only need 2 points for promotion due to our GD

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:41 pm

Hopefully Millers can get back into this, they need a point or three to edge away from the other relegation candidates. Of course, WBA also need the points to try and get back into play-off contention.

Quicknick · Post by **Quicknick** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:45 pm

I want WBA to win and get in the playoffs instead of the blue & white sh1te.

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:46 pm

I’ve been on holidays shorter distances than there is between Bradshaw and his Millwall teammates.

So many of them are dire. They go from a well paid, privileged job playing football to one talking about football and they're so complacent.

Relying on clichés and, as you say, they get players names wrong so regularly. I'd much rather listen to an intelligent, articulate, informed journalist than an ex player telling me a player whose name they got wrong is a "top top top top player" for the tenth time.

Rotherham playing well. Missed a few chances that could come back to haunt them.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:57 pm

Must win for Norwich later at Ewood, would take them to within a point of top 6.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 1:57 pm

What a poor game this Millwall - Luton match is. We're on a different planet to both in terms of style. But fair play, it obviously works.

It must be crap. I’ve started trying to work out the percentage of Millwall players who have a beard or sleeve tattoo or both.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 2:03 pm

Such poor quality sides here in Millwall and Luton.

Mind you, I’m more than happy for it to remain 0-0 to give us a chance of promotion this evening.

I would have thought Luton would be going all out for the win to put pressure on Boro and Sheffield Utd, but they don't seem to be bothered.

As good as we've been and we've been excellent, it's a poor league if Luton and possibly Millwall make the playoffs.

It's always been like that. Look at Burnley in 2008/09.

Luton made it last season too. Also Huddersfield who finished 3rd were a weird team, scored most of their goals via set pieces and were bottom 4 in ‘open play xG’.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 2:17 pm

I think to be fair, neutrals who watched our 0-0 at Blackpool will be saying "Burnley are so poor, why do pundits/people think they're so good?"

Very difficult to judge in a one off game especially involving Millwall, a very Dyche Burnley style of play with poorer players.

It was, he also thinks "Carlton Morrison" up front for Luton today has had a poor game.

Rotherham score to make it 2-1

Into injury time. Still 0-0.

West Brom have been awful since Corberan got his new deal.

Finishes 0-0…

Onto this evening!

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 2:25 pm

50% of the equation done, a win tonight and we're up.

And on we go... one of the most routine but no less impressive promotion campaigns can be sealed tonight. We've be immense this season, let's hope tonight and Monday can be the beginning of a brilliant final push.

bodge · Post by **bodge** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 2:43 pm

You have to hope either Millwall or Luton get promoted via the play offs as they were total babba.

Rotherham now 3-1 up

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 3:00 pm

Well done, Millwall.
Far from the hurly burly of our promotion campaign, I'm at Plainmoor taking in the Torquay v Eastleigh NL game.
Great pubs so far and quite a decent atmosphere.
C'mon you Gulls!
