Millwall Win, Southampton Draw
Tuesday, 21st Apr 2026 22:00

Millwall won at Stoke City this evening to return to second in the Championship table, but Southampton were held to a draw by Bristol City at St Mary’s, while Coventry have been crowned champions and Leicester City’s second relegation in two years has been confirmed.

The Lions defeated the Potters 3-1 at the bet365 Stadium to move ahead of the Blues into second by three points but with Town having two games in hand on the South Londoners.

The Saints were behind twice to the Robins but hit back on each occasion to draw 2-2 and claim a point which puts them level on points with the Blues but behind on goal difference with Town’s five better, again with two games in hand.

Elsewhere, the Sky Blues thrashed Portsmouth 5-1 at the CBS Arena to secure the title having been promoted at the weekend.

The Foxes drew 2-2 at home to Hull City to confirm that they will be playing League One football next season, 10 years since they won the Premier League title.

That draw saw the Tigers drop out of the top six on goal difference with Wrexham moving above them following a 1-0 win at Oxford United.

Town’s Saturday opponents West Brom all but secured their Championship status, barring the mooted points deduction, via a 3-0 home victory over Watford.

Looks like it's between us and Millwall now. They go to relegated Leicester on Friday night, the home to likely relegated by then Oxford on the final day.

Reckon we need 3 wins from 4. Can't really afford to drop points tomorrow or Saturday, or we'll likely then need a win at Southampton...

Squeaky bum time indeed. I'm usually quite optimistic, but we need to play much better than we have the last 2 games.

Gforce added 22:58 - Apr 21 Well we've definitely got to win 3 out of the next 4,because Millwall will almost certainly take maximum points from their last 2 games,against already relegated Leicester and Oxford on the final day. A win tomorrow is now an absolute must.

Len_Brennan added 23:16 - Apr 21 A win against Charlton is absolutely essential, sadly I dare say a good convincing win at that, in order to raise confidence levels of players & fans alike.

If only we knew which ITFC is going to turn up and in which half! The team that can blow away the likes of Coventry twice and make them look ordinary on their home turf and the team that can play the sort of football we saw here in the first half against Millwall. Or the team we've seen so often against the likes of Portsmouth that was simply abject. Time for the real ITFC to stand up and be counted. I only hope it's one of the first 2 examples!

hhh28 added 00:32 - Apr 22 If we don't win tomorrow we'll need a miracle. Hard to see us winning 3 on the bounce.

KBsSocks added 01:39 - Apr 22 Exciting times. We need one win of the two games in hand, then to match the form of BOTH Millwall AND / OR Soton, whichever has the better form. OR better, win and draw the two games in hand. OR best scenario, win both games in hand. No miracles required, just better performances in BOTH halves of remaining games would help.

I don't think Millwall will win against Leicester.
Leicester got nothing to play for yet they still got quality players and they'll play under no pressure at all this time around.
I'd expect Millwall draw against Leicester and 3 points against Oxford.
So, Millwall will finish with 83 points.
We'll draw against Charlton...
Win against WBA...
Lose against Southampton...
And win against QPR.
And we'll end up 83 points too but with superior goal difference.

BangaloreBlues added 05:50 - Apr 22 @Clint-Eastwood Millwall will tear Leicester to pieces and get six points from their last two games. We know all about their manager, he won't be allowing any missed opportunities. They also have no pressure on them as nothing is in their hands and they are already in the play offs.

Westy added 05:57 - Apr 22 Millwall's remaining two fixtures are relegated Leicester away and Oxford at home, also probably relegated by then. Two wins and two draws will not be enough for us. We need three wins as I can't see Millwall failing to get maximum points from their last two.

Its a strange old game, i dont think like so many on here that Millwall are guaranteed 2 wins, its not how football works! Remember how both Sheffield wed and Leeds were nailed on for second spot in what looked to be unasailable positions only to muck up!
Whilst we are in a great position i dont trust us (this team) to capitalise on our position. Its nearly always a freakish score against Charlton!

Dissboyitfc added 06:22 - Apr 22 To add this also if we do mess up we didnt deserve to go up! I cant see us doing anything in the playoffs! If we do go up we will have to spend a lot of money, squad not even close to life in the top flight!

cressi added 06:25 - Apr 22 Bangalore blues no such thing as no pressure Millwall will have the same pressure as Town maybe not the same expectations but they have a good chance possibly won't get again for a while if they don't make it.

johnwarksshorts added 06:43 - Apr 22 Its ours to throw away. I hope we dont but it's going to be tricky. Our last few performances have been underwhelming. I'm hoping McKenna gets us fired up. Hope we get 3 wins from last 4.

ChrisFelix added 06:59 - Apr 22 The bonus last night was the points dropped by Saints & the fact they didn't look that impressive. But their 2 goals were the type we usually concede

SpiritOfJohn added 07:32 - Apr 22 Poor old Leicester. Anyone else remember our slow start to this season, when the doom and gloom merchants were predicting that we were going to 'do a Luton'? And here we are with four games left needing 3 wins to guarantee promotion.

ITFC_1994 added 07:46 - Apr 22 Morsy looked class against the saints.... we should have signed him in Jan purely to get us over the line in these next 4! COYB

Edmundo added 08:10 - Apr 22 Either 4 games to get us promoted now, or 7 to get us promoted at Wembley. Exciting times to be a Town fan once more!

Leicester v Millwall is on Friday night, so we will know more of what we need to do before we play West Brom! Say we draw against Charlton and Leicester get a draw against Millwall. We would then need two wins from three games. If we beat Charlton and Leicester get a draw against Millwall, then we'd only need 4 points from 3 games. Lots of other permutations, but of course if Millwall beat both Leicester and Oxford, then we need to win 3 from our last 4, one of which we will have alrady played (tonight!).
