We do have a tough run in and that's why play offs look our best bet - but Swindon are having a bit of a wobble at the moment and there's no reason Millwall wont
Still a hell of a lot to play for this season and the fact that the 1,2 and 4th placed teams all have to come to us yet means the season will definitely go to the wire
"If we win, you never know we may de-moralise them so they dont make play offs.....heres me hoping! "
You don't mean that. How great would it be for South East London if we both went up, all us Millwall & Charlton buddies celebrating together as Palace drop down, looking forward to carrying on our chummy friendly rivalry in the Championship, putting SE London back on the map, handshakes of friendship extended across platforms 1 to 5 at London Bridge, the Lions & the Robins roaring & chirping together.....

not really with the respective run-ins I expect them to finish above us anyway.
Nothing like a bit of negativity before a big game!
Just had a look at Millwalls fixtures and they have derbies vs Brentford/Orient/Gillingham and have to play Swindon Leeds Colchester and Huddersfield. Not that much different to ours imo

LOL, well i wouldn't expect anything less from you !
Their run-in includes the following, Charlton (H), Leeds (A), Colchester (A), Huddersfield (A), Swindon (H)
When we went 12 games without dropping a point, no one expected us to lose at home to Swindon. At this stage of the season, you really can't predict any results.
Out of the top 6/7 the only ones with any real consistency are probably Norwich. I don't think Leeds have the second auto spot nailed down, I'd say the current top maybe 7 or 8 will be the same-ish by the season end but maybe not in the same order, if that makes sense...

Nah 2 out of 3 i wouldnt mind eg. us up, palace down. couldn't care less whether you go up with us or not!

Not really. They have been dropping points like us recently.
Well i don't know what fixtures you've been looking at but they've picked up 25 points from their last 10 matches. Over the same 10 matches, we've picked up 15 points.

And in the last 5 matches they have picked up 10 points and we have picked up 9 so not much difference at all is there. Also the last 35 we have 66 points and they have 62 Just shows you stats can be used for any side of the argument
Milwall have a pretty touch run in aswell, not sure of their exact fixtures but they still have to go to Leeds and I am sure they have to play Swindon, Colchester and maybe Huddersfield.

What about if we beat them on Saturday? One more slip up from Leeds and automatic promotion is back in our own hands.
Not really. They have been dropping points like us recently, as has every team in the top 6/7. Everyone inconsistent as the other. We'll finish 2nd...
And you try telling any Spanners - they won't believe it either.
;o)
...I'll be amazed !!
But I really think we can nick it. The weather is improving and the pitch might be half decent so we can get back to our 4-5-1 passing game

Ooops - Am i allowwed to laugh with a millwall fan?
i feel a bit dirty mind...
So does that mean if we draw we'll finish level?

Nice sarcasm btw made me laugh

Or maybe a draw?
Which team will have it?
And in the last 5 matches they have picked up 10 points and we have picked up 9 so not much difference at all is there. Also the last 35 we have 66 points and they have 62 Just shows you stats can be used for any side of the argument
Turgid 0-0 anyone?
No one has an easy run!
If Milwalll beat us, there is still a gap.
No i'd fancy us to score, we usually do away, i think Leeds was the last away game we didn't score in.
Huddersfield v Norwich
Millwall v Charlton
Southampton v Leeds...
