I’d take Bowler or Yates, either would start for Rovers. Madine isn’t popular with our fans I suppose but he would be a useful player. 

getting on a bit now and likely to miss most of the season when he gets arrested and jailed again(he`s lunatic after a few pints,been inside twice for gbh)!!!

I'm not sure this game really matters too much. It'd take quite a set of results for us to make the playoffs with anything less than 6 points, 3 of which would need to be against Millwall

It matters in that if Millwall win we absolutely have to win both games to have any chance

other things are variable and unpredictable but that would be certain

Means that it’s in our hands though on the last game. Better than relying on watching other games…of course that’s if tomorrows results go our way…and we win Monday.

[BankEnd Rover]

We are more reliant on Sunderland & Coventry anyway so tonight’s result isn’t the end of the world. It was always going to come down to the final game.

[Sweaty Gussets]

If S'land and Cov don't win tomorrow and we do on Monday then tonight's game matters because we might only then need a draw at the den to finish above Millwall.

I’ll wager a small fortune there won’t be a 90+4 minute goal go for us 😡

before tonight game Bradshaw had 1 goal in the last 9 games 

Brereton has had 0 goals in 7. Like I said, that's the difference. We're having to rely on other players than our top scorer.

Millwall also have Flemming. I'm not saying Millwall are ideal, I'm saying that currently they have better goalscorers than what we have, which is a statistical fact.

Milwall playing out time. Are you watching Ryan Hedges?

This is another nail in the Rovers promotion coffin. It's all so sad and frustrating

Swags had the teapot out

How are we not above Millwall. Painfully ordinary. But they do have a centre forward which helps.

[rigger]

So we have finally reached a must win game.

They have just scored three in a single game, which is something we can only dream of.

International straw clutching resumes at 15:00 tomorrow 😉

Rovers won't win at Millwall. They have a goalscoring centre forward and we don't

We will have a weekend of results making it more and more unlikely and then we will probably be put out of misery by 21:50 Monday night.

I think Chaddy just likes to argue for the sake of it. He's seeing a team scoring goals live then just moments later saying they aren't all that.

[roverandout]

Because he always wears his rovers tinted specs

69 point with our goal difference was simply never going to be enough after Tuesday night.

We needed 6 points earlier, we need 6 points still. I don’t think we will get them, but the requirement in y head is not affected by tonight.

Unfortunately, this time there will be no Simon Garner (2), Chrissy Price or Simon Barker to put it in the back of the onion bag ☹️

I would dearly love for Chaddy to have a “twist and turn” to post about on Monday evening.

Sky have also just given Millwall an extra 3 days rest before they play us.

Two games don't make a season but it's the arse end of the season that counts and two moments of madness against Coventry and Preston and 9 months of hard work have likely gone up in smoke.

[Mattyblue]

To be fair we have a full week between games ourselves. No excuses to be made on that score.

What is going to happen between 19.30 and 21.50?
