v Millwall (a) - Monday 8th May

[Nuttall is lost]

Sky saying Hedges will be the lone striker.  Put Diaz up front as a 9.

Maybe JDT doesn't want Sunderland to get the last playoff spot either. 

[Displaced Rover]

We’re not winning this. Boys v men already.

Really concerns me this. Multiple recent goals conceded from either set pieces or crosses. 

Yep - as expected already flapping at anything launched into the box. A certain weakness of Hyam (and obviously Pears)

[Gav]

National anthem belted out loud and proud 🇬🇧

[WacoRover]

Rough start, that. Too close for my liking

What a horrible stat. Only Burnley and Sheffield United have spent more time in the top 6 than us this season.

Yet it’s still JDT saying that we are lucky to be where we are and that we’re overachieving.

 

He is frustrating in his pre and post match interviews. Hope he coaches better than the talk he gives us

206 days we've been in top 6. only Burnley sheff utd been there longer. That's insane. So when JDT says we don't expect to be going for play offs you know he is chatting bs..

It's been the same message all season - he told you all not to get carried away with the position and that it was a rebuilding year, yet here we are.

He's being crucified by some fans for being too successful too early.

Little old Blackburn punching above their weight to be able to compete on the last day of the season against the might of Millwall, Luton, Coventry and a newly promoted Sunderland. 

I'm saving detailed analysis until the fat lady has sung but the above sums it up.

Great rendition of the National Anthem. Well done to Millwall and Rovers.

God Save The King ....... And Rovers

I didn't, mid table with nothing to play for I thought.

That's exactly where we are based on historic points from the Championship. We are not overachieving, it's the clubs with big expectations/reputation underachieving.

[Mercer]

Millwall at it intensely.

Let's see who has the bottle in red shirts.

He said we didn't expect to be here at the beginning of the season.

Millwall fans singing the National anthem very loudly, what a bunch of cockney wankers

Better than the Liverpool fans booing it.

Pears has to command his box, that throw has bounced inside the 6 yard box

Are we no longer the main game on SKY?

Just turned it on and they're showing Coventry warm up.

And for anyone of us who doesn't (yet!) pay for Sky, and/or who remembers promotion to Division 1 in South East London 1957 on the last day of the season, there's live commentary on the game on talkSPORT.

Not really crucifying him. The owners have not helped. But we have been in a position for expected play offs for so much of the season and then we start to capitulate towards the final hurdle it's just frustrating.

[Exiled_Rover]

3 or 4 late fouls already from Millwall - hopefully this ref is strong and starts booking them for persistent fouling.

[bluebruce]

Millwall are up for this. That pissy passy shit at the back won't wash, we'll get caught out doing that, it's gonna be a battle and a grind.

[davulsukur]

Not a cat in hell's chance we are winning this.

Millwall are up for it and as usual, we aren't.

Can't imagine we get our first strong ref of the season at the Den in a critical game with the scummiest fans in the country in his back.

Carter gets robbed, ugh candy from baby 

that about finishes it, I’m afraid

Goodnight 

[Hasta]

Ah, we’ve not conceded a goal by losing possession by fucking around at the back for a while.

[Miker]

Game over 😞

[bluebruce]

And that's that.
