The Blackburn Rovers v Millwall thread

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I'd feel a lot more comfortable with the situation if 'Millwall legend' Neil Harris wasn't in charge for their last three games. He'll be really pumped up for it and will maybe be able to cajole some performances out of his players that Wurzel wouldn't.

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.

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!

I don't care what the odds are, if Millwall win tonight, I will be shitting it!

Bookies aren't stupid, punters are. Odds are a reflection of exposure and market value, they don't always reflect probability. There is a difference.

My biggest concern tonight is that Blackburn have nothing to play for, and their players have already started their summer holiday.

 

[nwgull]

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.

Wolves will almost certainly win on Saturday. They're playing Wigan, who even we managed to score against!

Some bookies are now waking up that we are in freefall...

That said for Millwall to get 7 points from the remaining 3 with 2 away will take some going. We should be safe but our last 2 fixtures are as bad as they could possibly be...

 

[Biscuit]

We're not taking another point from anyone this season. Let's just pray Millwall don't get seven points from their next three games.

Unlike our lot who started their holidays weeks ago.

A some positive albeit clutching at straws. Looking at saturdays fixtures: If Millwall manage to beat Derby it will help Wolves ensuring they have something to play for against Millwall on the last day.

Not to mention our team and its morale are as bad as any of us can remember.

 

[nicko31]

What is slightly worrying is that since we beat Derby they have only managed to beat Wigan and Blackpool (teams that anyone can beat except us). And their playoff place is more or less secure. I wouldn't be putting my house on them getting 3 pts

That's not a bookie, that's Betfair, and a very illiquid market.

With the bookies you can still get 66/1, 80/1 or even 125/1.

Millwall can't win two on the bounce, let alone three and we've been safe since Kilgallon's superb diving header - who I voted for as our player of the season

 

[Official Old Man]

I don't understand all this betfair odds stuff 1:35 £268 what? But saw on bet365 odds I understand of 60/1 BHA relegated. I know that is down from 100/1

I just can't believe you are that confident. I can very easily see us going down as Millwall are putting points on the board and we are not. All we need is for Millwall to drop 3 points and I very much hope that happens tonight

 

[saafend_seagull]

Got a fiver on at 100/1 last week, and 7.50 more @ 66/1 today.


Blackburn remain without Jason Lowe (foot), Shane Duffy (knee), Grant Hanley (calf), Alex Baptiste (hamstring), Josh King (hamstring) and David Dunn (calf) against Millwall.
Mid-table Rovers have nothing to play for in their remaining three games.

Millwall, meanwhile, can move to within a point of safety with a win after losing once in their last six.

The above also only leads to a Milwall win.

Derby and wolves (who will be out of play offs by final game with their manager giving his old team a favour) out of form too.

Only way we stay up IMO is a points deduction for Rotherham, or we get a point versus watford.

 

[throbinson]

**** me how bad are we that we are relying on a team like Millwall to lose, what have we become?

 

[Oscar]

Millwall will be going all out get a win and a daw from their next two games to take the fight to the very last day of the season when anything can happen.

That said, I've just stuck a couple of quid on them to win tonight and given my luck with the bookies of late, that'll ensure a Blackburn win or a draw at least.

Wolves will only be out of the play offs if Ipswich win AND, significantly, Derby beat Millwall. If Derby lose or draw to Millwall, then Wolves will be back in with a shout and will definitely be going for it, at home, on the final day.

Whatever the permutations, the potential for Millwall to get 7 points in 3 games is very low. And that starts with to tonight - Millwall couldn't beat Cardiff who had nothing to play for either.

They don't need to win 2 on the bounce, or 3. Following their draw on Saturday, WDW will do them.

 

[SAC]

I can't see Millwall doing enough not to be relegated but even if they did Rotherham would be the ones replacing them.

Worry about next season, however poor this season has been, it isn't going to end in relegation.
