Live on Sky Sports Football Red Button

An emotional day for Neil Harris, a Millwall legend, and hopefully a Millwall heart-breaker.

[Former Labour leader]

Could be a banana skin. Millwall have very good recent away form and quite honestly Preston should have beaten us easily. Expecting the worst.

Banana skin? We are their level, we play the same, we have the same points. We are literally a mid table club. We aren’t some top 6 team playing a poor team, we are a poor team (under transition) playing another poor team.

It’s equal v equal. It’s not a banana skin.

If that's the front 3 I'd have to consider taking a nap during the game.

We were so bad Saturday surprised you didn't fall asleep then. Have no confidence in us getting anything out of the game. Best we can hope for is a 0-0.

[Toadstool]

Away win written all over this one

I feel for those going today, I really do.

1 nil to the mighty Bluebirds, Glatzel

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Not wishing away our chances, but Millwall have the best record against the top 8 in the division. They've won 3 of their last 4 away, beating Swansea, Bristol City and Derby. Not expecting much today to be honest

Indeed.

I had a peruse of the Bristol City forum after Millwall had recently won at Ashton Gate. The Bristol fans were full of praise for the way that Millwall played and said it was a deserved victory.

Bennett and Hoilett come back.

Still no Ralls.

[Madassa]

And no Madine on the bench.

[Maurice Swan]

slow and pedestrian again so far...

[Fine Lines]

Tomlin playing 1/4 back.

[WJ99mobile]

We are dog shite playing dog shite football.

So slow and unorganised

[Bobby Dandruff]

SO dull so far.

Even the crowd sound bored.

This is Slade-esque 🙁

[Fine Lines]

The crowd are so bored the old school chants are out. Peter Thorne and his magic hat.

[Maurice Swan]

I am playing chess as I watch this......no shots again....
