It as to be said I so want Millwall to beat Fulham tonight and they are one of my least favourite teams. It is a seventies/eighties thing! But the reason for my support is a win for them could help my team Cardiff City towards automatic promotion if Cardiff win their game tomorrow.
Talking about the game the Cardiff boss said, “There’s not a good film on, so I’ll be watching tonight! The kick off times are getting quite ludicrous. I watch Friday night games on the magical Sky Go while we’re away but don’t necessarily watch every game, but it’s a cracking game tonight, as they all are now. I don’t know how it will go. Fulham have got the quality but Millwall are very resolved, a good group, very similar to our lads, they’ve punched above their weight and they’re enjoying it.”
Millwall need the win to help cement a place in the play-offs with only two places left with five teams chasing the remaining places.

Cardiff have a late, late televised game (7:45pm) against Nottingham Forest I think the kick-off time may affect the crowd if it was earlier I think it would have been a sell-out. The weather could help. Has I have explained before a win for Cardiff and a defeat for Fulham could leave them a game away from that so important automatic promotion spot. Forth place Aston Villa have a weekend trip to Ipswich who are mid table with nothing to win or lose but pride.
Back in November, Cardiff beat tomorrow’s visitors 2-0 at the City Ground Stadium with goals from Hoilett and Ward and the win saw Cardiff remain second in the League table behind Wolves, spooky. On Forest last ten visits to Cardiff they have only won once and three of the games ended all square with six defeats history suggest there could be points for Cardiff. The Welshman just edge form over the last five games and the bookies are backing Cardiff.
Cardiff City defender Sol Bamba is likely to be fit after a groin injury as the Bluebirds look to strengthen their case for automatic promotion.
Midfielder Joe Ralls is in contention having missed eight games with a hamstring problem boss Neil Warnock said at his pre-match conference that Ralls had trained all week but whether it’s too early for him Warnock doesn’t know. Jazz Richards is training according to the Cardiff boss and could soon be in contention
Cardiff are without Nottingham Forest loanees Armand Traore and Jamie Ward, while Forest are unable to field Cardiff loan midfielder Lee Tomlin. Reports suggest the Cardiff boss could well make a few changes to the match day squad that beat Norwich 2-0 last weekend.

When asked does the Premier League feel any closer Warnock said, “When I’m bored and I have five minutes I click onto the fan forums. I wish I could just reply but just as well that I can’t! The fans have just got to come and support us, whatever the numbers are. I never thought I’d see a game kick off at 7:45pm on a Saturday night so I don’t blame people if they don’t come. But the fans have been instrumental in how well we’ve done.”
I believe Cardiff boss Neil Warnock is Father Christmas and will give us a delayed Christmas present! I do believe.
