I am confident we beat Boro over 2 legs with the 2nd leg at home. I am pretty sure Millwall beat Hull. Will Millwall ruin the day on and off the pitch? |  |

It would have been if they'd been playing Wrexham, but Millwall have only won 1 of their last 8 games v Hull.
That's why I was happy that Middlesbrough got a draw.
Copied and pasted my post from the matchday thread:
"Perfect results for Saints today. I didn't want Wrexham to win because Millwall would have beaten them easily, but Millwall have only won 1 of their last 8 games v Hull, and I'd rather we avoided Millwall at Wembley. Boro drawing puts us up into that crucial 4th place. 4 of the last 6 play-offs have been won by the 4th placed team." [Post edited 2 May 16:41]

But with the 2nd leg being at the Den, and the all the objects and missles thrown at the Hull players in that final leg, I would bet Millwall get through, plus statistically 3rd gets to Wembley something like 80 per cent of the time. How many people would be put off going if it is Millwall, i.e. families, women and kids? | |

Hull beat Millwall 3-1 at the Den this season.
Anyway, in terms of winning at Wembley, in the last decade the 4th placed team has won 50%, and the 3rd placed team 30%. But, you're right, the 6th placed teams have a terrible record.

You seem rather obsessed with Millwall fans mush
Maybe I've missed something but I wasn't aware of any issues at the new den this season |  |

They were horendous at St Mary's. I witnessed them on Brittainia Road, all red eyed and drugged up. Myself and family were almost hit by glass bottles, women and children too. This was 2024. At the Den, there is so.much protection, huge numbers of police that you are well protected there. But nobody should under estimate what it could be like with 30k Millwall fans, all their big guns out in force, across London on a big day.
Now look at what happened the last time they went out of the play offs at Wembley
https://www.google.com/amp/s/w
This was after a play off defeat, when they rioted.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk
I will go, but just making a suggestion that it probably won't be relaxed like.it was against City. Hopefully they don't make it to Wembley, but I suspect they will. [Post edited 2 May 18:35]

Blimey
One of those incidents is from 24 years ago, the days of F-Troop are long gone
As ive said a couple of times before, I have a pal who supports 'Wall, sat with him in the home end at theirs a couple of times and never seen any issues
Hopefully we can get past 'Boro and look forward to a final against whoever | |

I agree.. Millwall though are the Skates of London.
Most of their fans are complete morons, just like our fishy friends…
F-Troop ….you’re having a laugh..
As I said, I agree. Bring on whoever, let’s get this done.. | | | |

Boro beat us 4-0 at their place earlier this season so don't put too much on previous results
Play offs are one offs and could affect players differently.
Our advantage is that we've been to Wembley already this season so confidence will be high |  |

That 4-0 defeat was Bazunu's last game for us and we were still persisting with the dreaded 3 centre backs. We defended like a pub team in the second half
Lots of our squad have been in this position two years ago and that experience of managing the pressure could be invaluable | |

Boro won’t be an easy game they are a good well drilled side with some very good players
Our lot will need to be at it for both games which if they are will be enough
We cannot afford any defensive errors like the other night though | | | |

If I recall accurately we missed a couple of very good chances in the first half and should have been leading at half time. | | | |

That's my recollection of that match too
Amazing what a difference a couple of players in key positions, keeper and centre forward ,can make
At the risk of being too confident and it coming back to bite me on the arris, were a very different side to when we played at the Riverside in January | |

Millwall are mostly fine at standard games now but it's definitely different at a big game when loads of non regulars come for a day out.
35k of them at Wembley is in no way comparable to a league meeting. Will definitely be a very different atmosphere around the ground and on trains compared to the City game. | | | |

Of course they’re all hard to beat.
You can never assume the future. Anything can happen unexpectedly…
To be honest I think we’re on a par with Coventry as the best team in the league.
As a fan you don’t assume, more like hope for the best and the players deliver… | | | |

In the 4-0 defeat to Boro, Bazunu faced 5 shots on target. The first 3 were goals, the 4th he parried straight to their striker - who duly made it 4-0.
Seem to recall ArmA and Azaz missing decent first half chances.
THB, Wood and Quashie were our preferred 3 CBs at the time, with Manning and Fellows as wing backs.
Oh how times have changed. |  |

It would have been if they'd been playing Wrexham, but Millwall have only won 1 of their last 8 games v Hull.
