What’s the advantage in Luton finishing 3rd ? Can see them resting players Monday against Blackburn!
If they finish third they play whoever finishes sixth, I’m sure they will be conservative with their better players. They might be happy to play Blackburn over two legs, nice position to be in.
Going to stick my neck out and say Swansea are dark horses, they need a result at Hull Saturday though.
Just that they get to play 6th, so in theory a worse team. But given it's so tight I don't think it really makes a difference.
tbh if it was us with the play-offs wrapped up with two games to go I’m not sure I’d want us resting players. We’ve seen what happens to us every international break when we have a bit of time off. I think it’s better to keep up the momentum and rhythm.
Just looking at the Cardiff v Rotherham match and their run in fixture list to see if we had a preference for tonight.
Only thing I can see is that Rotherham have Middlesbrough before us so we want Rotherham fired up and fighting and softening Middlesbrough up? Rotherham have Wigan after which may be a decider.
Cardiff win keeps Rotherham scrapping.
It’s a bad state of affairs when we are picking sides in a relegation fight that has ostensibly nothing to do with us
Edit: CCFC supporter tonight. Kinda ok.

Thanks. I was looking forward to a day off. Now I’m terrified of a Rotherham win.
I would just enjoy it as a neutral and then go back to being a nervous mess watching Millwall tomorrow
If Millwall or Sunderland drop points this weekend I’ll really start to believe it’s our year.
Ogbene of Rotherham’s not a bad player
Blackpool have a realistic chance of staying up if they beat Millwall. That should give them enough incentive, and they have won 2 of their last 3
One of a few down the bottom end of the table that we'd hopefully look at for next season (especially if their clubs go down).
Not sure where we'd fit him in unless we're planning to use wingers next season though.
My Millwall fried is absolutely convinced that they won't get another point this season. He says they have completely gone off the boil. I hope he's right.
Losing Gyokores might prompt a change of shape (depends who we replace him with) but otherwise it would be a case of trying to coach the defensive side of the game into him which might not be the best idea i suppose.
You could use him as a very aggressive wing back but I'm not sure even that plays to his strengths. His crossing was impressive last night anyway
Rotherham losing last night gave them a bit of extra hope. That’s another team in theoretical range for them (a draw would have left a 6 point gap with a big GD to chase)
C’mon Blackpool
Reports of Sheffield Utd takeover falling through with the Nigerian guy pulling out and wanting his money back. He’s paid millions in to keep them going and pay the tax man as an exclusivity deal, but if he pulls out, will they have gained an unfair advantage to getting promoted?
Will other clubs claim they wouldn’t have got promoted without those funds

Won’t matter they will be under premier league rules so they’ll be treated like wolves were as bloody heroes
I’ll try to find out what’s happening there - I’ve got some staff who have a bit of low level inside intel.
There’ll be others who will no doubt jump in to bail out SUFC now that they have “guaranteed” prem income for a bit. It’s a nice thought that they could have a points deduction though (and while I remember, didn’t they sue West Ham for something vaguely along those lines years ago?
If somebody has put shit loads of money in when they aren't the owner and then it falls through. They should really be docked points.
Hardly any chance - in fact realistically their only chance is if we only get one point from our next two and even then they won’t do it
I just saw sunderland have sold around 45,000 tickets for tomorrow , rather alot eh
To be fair , apart from a few meatheads they have fantastic support
I just looked at their historical average , its the 12th largest in England all time .. really good fair play
Dozy Mmobuosi imagine that message came through a Nigerian billionaire has money to invest.

Watford striker Joao Pedro is set to join Brighton this summer in a club-record deal; Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is looking to bolster his striking options to supplement Evan Ferguson, Danny Welbeck and Deniz Undav
Be interesting to see if he buys into the Brighton work ethic
Talented lad but he ain't Vik

I’m afraid that’s now the least I’d accept for yok. He is nowhere near the all round striker yok is
