    I watched the game, brilliant entertainment, but Millwall blew it. Blackburn are not a bad team, if you allow them the ball and invite them to attack, they can cause some damage. Millwall sat back from half-time and Blackburn duly ripped them to shreds.. Such a shame about the goal difference.

    Highly entertaining watch enhanced by the scores coming in from the other games and the playoff places changing in real time. How Millwall lost that I don't know but they should have scored more in the first half and the disbelief on their supporters faces was hard to watch. Not sure Rovers will be the same attacking force when the wannabe Chilean moves on this summer.

Personally I'm hoping for the flowing football that demolished Argyle at Wembley but we've been a long way off that since so there may well be some sh*ithousery as our best striker is still out and we ain't got a Norwood or Devante Cole - just enthusiastic workers. Nice wide pitch at Oakwell in part two which we like.
    Bit teed off that both clubs appear to be restricting the number of away fans - we heard Barnsley started it and vice versa but we must assume they talked with each other before decisions were made. Madness as both clubs need the money and the playoffs need the atmosphere. Very happy about reaching the playoffs and winning a pot which in itself has exceeded all expectations for this season, but now that we're here.....may the best team win

    As for Blackburn - there was a similar outpouring of grief in Bolton as Rovers missed out on GD having been in the box seat for months. Truly heartbreaking.
    It was almost as if Nob End with nothing to play for scuppered them intentionally
    Don't think the Nobbers will be losing any sleep about losing to Sunderland.lol

    Hey up Wander, I forgot you were a Bolton regular on here lol.
    You've got nowt to worry about with Devante Cole, hes really lost his form and confidence again.
    Jimmy Norwood puts it about and he has the experience, but at his age he can't play much more than an hour!.
    We can do the sh*ithousery stuff as well which is a shame, I'd rather it be a good free flowing couple of games with some good competent refs. 😉

    Acido --your referee for the first leg at Bolton is Andrew Kitchen and for the second game at Oakwell it is Josh Smith. Good luck to all.

    Rumour is Mads Andersen will be back so our best hope is that Dion can get him sent off early doors again
    Quality player way beyond our means is Mads - and your best form was when he was playing, unfortunately for us.

    You have my permission to reproduce my comments on BBS Acido....oh, hang on a minute...

    Just announced over 20k now sold to ST holders prior to going on general sale BTW.
    With the restrictions on travelling fans being in place, can't see the attendance exceeding 26k in the first leg.
