A win, or perhaps even a draw for Mlwall tonight would put us in real danger. There is no sign that we will win another point. Blackburn have nothing to play for and Derby may well play a weakened team against Millwall if they are already in the playoffs. The last Millwall game against Wolves will be tough, but with Wolves having probably missed the playoffs, it could be like a cup final for Millwall. We may therefore still need another 2 points if Millwall get. a result tonight. The other unknown is whether Rotherham will have the 3 point deduction, which seems likely. However they have much easier fixtures and could still overtake us, despite the points deduction.

Let's all support Bkackburn tonight. To me the current odds of 100-1 on the seagulls being relegated look generous! We should still scrape through but...

I'm wondering about going as I live in Liverpool. I really think it may be a key result.

Millwall against Blackburn tonight

Derby can still be caught by Brentford and Wolves, they need at least another win to guarantee their place in the play offs, so I doubt very much they will play a weakened team.

It is a key result.
If Millwall win tonight it`ll put the shits up a lot on this board.

We are not getting anymore points and although I don`t think Millwall will pick up 7 points to overtake us strange things do happen at the end of the season.

Derby still need 2 points to make the play offs, or risk being replaced by Wolves or Brentford. I've no doubt that they'll be fully motivated to get those 2 points by winning at Millwall on Saturday.

The good thing is, if Derby fail to beat Millwall on Saturday, it still gives Wolves a fighting chance of snatching a the playoff place if they beat Millwall on the last day of the season (assuming that they beat Wigan this Saturday). Hence they should be fully motivated to get a win if we need them to.

If Blackburn draw or win, Fulham become mathematically safe.

Can't see the Fulham manager lasting once this happens, so Gus to Fulham in the next day or so..... ?

All 3 Millwall games the biggest for us this season. No point taking much note of ours...

If Millwall get the points they need then fair play to them, we'll only have ourselves to blame, the whole season has been a shambles from the man at the top off the pitch to pretty much every event on it!

These threads make me laugh, its hard enough for a top championship side to win three on the bounce let alone a poor Millwall side. 100/1 for the Albion to go down says it all.

I'm tempted to put money on a Millwall win/draw double tonight - so I either win a bit of money, or lose it but Brighton are safe.

There are so many ifs, buts and maybes. I would rather be in our shoes, than Millwall.

It's very possible and 100:1 is way too high imo. It's the stage of the season where anyone can beat anyone, some teams switch off, some nothing to play for which could go either way etc...

I think people are quite right to be a little nervous. I, for one will be just as happy tonight if Blackburn win as no will of Albion win Sat. It's all about staying up...

Comedy gold these threads!!

I really find it hard to accept there are fans out there that are crapping themselves over Millwall.

We are safe now, the bookies are not stupid!

With any other Club I would agree with you.

But this is the Albion.

I would expect Millwall to draw tonight and be pretty pleased with that for themselves. I think their main hope right now is Rotherham.

Defeat for Millwall leaves them 6 points behind us & a vastly inferior goal difference. They will then have 2 games left .
Blackburn victory leaves us safe. The worst that could then happen is the ignominy of staying up on goal difference alone.

C'mon the Rovers!

If Wolves lose on Saturday, they could be out of the running when they play Millwall. Just as well they'll stay fully focused anyway, and don't have, say, a manager with strong recent Millwall connections, who'd like them to survive.

Oh.
