Dreams tend not to come true, hence why they’re dreams!!

Dreams can come true! Look at me babe, I'm with you. You know you gotta have hope. You know you gotta be strong.

Live image from K*ps house of him waiting for Portsmouth to win.

That looks more like Kip in the park watching his KFC deliveroo arrive...

That looks more like Kip in the park watching his KFC deliveroo arrive...

He's got a decent garden, seeing as he likes to rush home from the garden centre when he hears we are losing.

 

[Yellow There!]

In terms of permutations, for us to get into the playoffs I got as far as:

Oxford Win
Portsmouth Lose

Oxford Win
Portsmouth Draw

Oxford Draw
Portsmouth Lose
Charlton Draw/Lose

Feel free to add anything I’ve missed.

COYY!

I think we need to be worried about Burton before we think about Portsmouth.

I remember our loss at home last season, they targeted long balls to our exposed full back positions, and out-pressed us the whole game. Sounds like even with JFH taking over, that's continued to be their game plan.

f**k the EFL, if that was the FA Cup it would never happen.

Play it somewhere neutral ( Champions League final) like in Wales or in Scotland

Citeh & Chelski , I couldn't give a flying f**k about either of them

besides, the U's must win today

 

[The mighty Aldo]

I think he’s saying Charlton would get into the play offs.

Exactly

Just one hope from me today and that the day stays interesting until the final whistle. I’d hate to see Portsmouth go 3-0 up in 25 minutes and that’s that. I can take not making the playoffs - I just want a last day rollercoaster to sign off the campaign!

Regardless of that, COYY!

Not the starting 11 I’d play but plenty on the bench

Its about time Shodipo did something of note ... Barker starting would've been a better option imo

Big call from Danny Cowley who brings back Jack Whatmough at the expense of Sean Raggett.
Whatmough will partner Paul Downing in central defence.

Good luck to the lads today, whatever happens it’s been a good season..
Sneak in that playoff place and it would be exceptional

Robinson serving a FOUR MATCH touchline ban starting TODAY.

Barker not fit to start so that is a good starting line up
Lee can be replaced by Agyei Ian’s Shopido by Barker if it’s 0 0 and we need to chase the game

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Apparently Barker has a niggle, Moore had back spasms and Henry has just had a baby. Not ideal!
