The Opposition's Manager

Neil Harris was re-appointed Millwall manager in February, having previously been in charge between 2015 and 2019.

During that time, he got them promoted to League One.

He also, of course, had a period in charge of Cardiff City from 2019 to 2021. He led us to 5th in the Championship in his first season, before losing in the play-offs.

He also had spells in charge of Gillingham and Cambridge.

Opposition Dangerous Players

Zian Flemming has double figures in goal involvements for the second successive season with Millwall.

Wales international Tom Bradshaw has just four league goals this season, but scored 17 last campaign.

Head To Head 

We beat Millwall at CCS in December.

That was one of two wins in the last five meetings, with them winning the other three.

I don't care about the result for this one. Just hope for a nice, confident display with some youngsters. Play with pressure off.

Would love to attend, Millwall side won't make this easy at all. I'm thinking we could sneak a win, probably be a 0-0 draw though under this manager. I really don't like Bulut, surely we can do better. I don't buy the rumours that other championship clubs are in for him, sounds like his agent has been briefing the media

The Bluebirds travel to The Den to take on Millwall in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Ticket News

Over 1,300 away tickets have been sold!

Tickets will be available from Cardiff City until 3pm today (Friday, April 12th).

Millwall have confirmed that there will be sales on the day, from the North Stand Ticket Office. Prices will increase by £3.

Fair play, 1,300 is a good following considering we have nothing to play for.

Won’t be at this one but will be at the last three games - the two home ones and Rotherham away.

Hopefully a win tomorrow.

Looking forward to this one tomorrow, hopefully we play like the 2nd half against brum but I can’t see it being as easy as that ,
That millwall winger seems a very good player

Championship on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 3pm).
The Lions play their penultimate home match of 2023/24 against The Bluebirds and will look to build on Tuesday night's three points over League leaders Leicester City.

Tom Bradshaw was welcomed back into the squad against The Foxes and will hope to continue his comeback this weekend, but Kevin Nisbet, Duncan Watmore, Joe Bryan and Murray Wallace will all sit out the game through injury. Ryan Longman scored the winner in midweek and will be expected to keep his place, whilst the likes of Romain Esse, Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Casper De Norre came off the bench and could come into contention.

Can’t get my head around the bookmakers odds for Us lately,I’ve 11/2 against Coventry,3/1 against Brum and now 4/1 against Millwall
Time to fill my boots again0-1(Phillips)

Millwall going straight for Cardiff

Early bombardment of crosses into the box from the hosts. Goutas with a particularly good clearance at the back stick for one of them, with two Lions players bearing down.

Great atmosphere

From both sets of fans

Composed work from Cardiff and they build up down the right with Bowler, Colwill and Ng. Ng jinks in side but is tackled.

Just like Wednesday night, the away fans sing "Erol Bulut, we want you to stay

Great chance for ng but he smashes it over the bar from a corner, colwill with brilliant skill to get the corner

GOAL! MILLWALL!

An end to end goal for Millwall from the ex-Jack Obafemi...
