Apart from a late sending off for former Cardiff target Jody Morris, which was the main talking point at Millwall, there was precious little else to report from the New Den on Saturday.

Morris was sent off in the last minute for a second yellow card offence. The draw stretched Cardiff's unbeaten run to seven games... For most of the game every in the ground seemed resigned to it being a 0-0 draw and so it turned out. Both teams seemed happy with the end result but in the great schem of things this game will not live long in the memory of the fans who were there... Cardiff lined up as follows : Alexander, Weston, Purse, Loovens, Barker, Koumas, Whitley, Ledley, Cooper, Ricketts (Lee 72), Jerome. Subs Not Used: Cox, Ardley, Parry, Margetson. Booked: Weston, Whitley, Ricketts. After match quotes from rival managers Dave Jones: "I have to admit I think that the game had 0-0 written all over it from about 15 minutes into the game and I think it would have been unfair had either side come away from this game with three points. But I feel that had we got at them a little bit more we would have come away with all three points," But Loins boss Colin Lee saw it slightly differently -"I thought that 0-0 was harsh on ourselves, we played very well in the first half without any end product and in the second half when we got there we couldn't take the chances." The crowd was 9,254 - which was Millwalls best of the season. And you think we've got problems! Referee - Andy D'Urso (Essex).
