    As captain Coady will have the job of talking to the ref. A job he's very good at  :D

    NJ won’t be thinking this result doesn’t matter so will have picked a team he thinks is best suited to get a result from the players available. After surviving this season he can pick whatever teams he wants today imo. Celebrate championship football next season and take the chance to thank the players who won’t be here next season

    The thing is, if Kelman has a knock, why are we even putting him on the bench
    in a dead rubber?

    I don’t like being overly negative but the line up feels like it’s oddly safe in a game where we do have a chance to experiment. That opportunity doesn’t come along a lot at this level.

    To quote Jones: 'It is not about trialling anything. What are we going to lean from anything done in just one game? Very little'. He doesn't see it as a chance to experiment, I think he wants to give the loanees one last chance to show something and to finish as high as possible

    I wasn’t really expecting him to deploy a revolutionary new formation or anything - I’d be pretty happy with a 3421 again as it looked quite good.

    What I struggle to understand is how Reece Burke playing a meaningless 90 minutes is better for the club than Gough getting some minutes. Same for Fullah. 

    I just think this was a great opportunity to bloody some talent.

    I'm regards to kelman maybe he has a slight knock and isn't 100 percent but Jones is giving him the chance to come on and possibly add to his tally and great work from last week (a positive spin)

    Fucking hell the negativity didn’t take long to return from some people did it. 

    Have a day off please 
    Are people not allowed an opinion on the team? It’s a forum.
    I’m not sure I said people couldn’t have an opinion? 

    The relentless negativity this year has been hard work. We’re safe. Can’t we all just try and enjoy it without the usual negativity. It’s draining 
    It’s not negativity to say the line up is odd. 
    ‘This line up is dull’

    ‘i see we’re back to hoof ball again’

    Plenty of negative comments out there 


    The line up is dull though? Stating reality isn't negative

    Not much pace in the starting lineup today - Burke and Gillespie in the back 3, Coady and Coventry together - that's the spine of the side.

    So we're relying on the 2 wingbacks plus Fev in the hole, to get up the pitch quickly.

    Not forgetting of course, the traditional hoof optimistically in the direction of Dykes.

    As long as Millwall don't win today,  I don't care what Ipswich do.  Indeed Ipswich being pipped for automatic by Boro would be excellent

    Would be lovely if Millwall drop to 4th today, as they'll have to deal with Southampton in the Semis

    NJ is a Cardiff boy.

    He'll be desperate for a result today against Swansea 😊

    Sadly plenty of nerves jangling today for those following the women's team. We can never be free

    Crazy that Kelman is on the bench. Imagine getting dropped after a performance like that. Absolutely mad.

    Laptop playing silly buggers, so only just got in to the TV coverage, and not sure if it's going to hold up, so commentary may be limited.

    Bristol City 1-0 Stoke... We can go 17th with that scoreline

    Where as your relentless quoting and hissy fits of other posters views you don't like has been a total joy to read on every single match thread this season.
