Accy Stanley could do with the points against Port Vale.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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’.

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.

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

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!
