[Bath Yellow]

They can’t be caught can they?

Yes, if they lose, my original mistake, point should do it

 

[Oxford84]

of the 3 teams above us they have 2 wins between them out of 18 games.

Simply my opinion of why it shouldn't have come to this. Moaning?

How did you get through, you are under ignore.

When a dozen people respond to your post, every single one essentially saying f@@@ you, you know you haven't judged the mood of the room very well.

That was a brilliant finish Accrington scoring cheered me right up, but when I noticed Crewe scores I nearly fell off my chair.

Great finish to the evening.

It wasn’t Accrington scoring it was that t**t Marquis scoring an OG

 

[oufc1991]

Sunderland haven’t won since they beat us.

Bottlers.

There last two games are Plymouth and Northampton that would be some going if they lost them both and missed out completely could it happen I bloody hope so

 

[OX14]

3 horse race between us, Pompey and Charlton

we have Shrews Away, Burton at home
Pompey Wimbledon away, Accy at home
Charlton accy Away, Lincoln at home, Hull at home

We hopefully get 6 points (74 points), Pompey 4 points (73 points) Charlton 6 points (74 points)

we sneak in on goal difference!

Charlton only getting 6 points from their remaining 3 games will leave them on 73 points.

Amen

At the end of the day, we shouldn't be in a position to have to rely on other teams to mistakes. It's the mistakes robinson and the team have made, in games such as Swindon, Northampton etc that have most likely seen us lose out on the play offs. Just one win from those horror shows, or a better start to the season, would have made a difference, 3 simple points.

Every season almost all clubs have poor results. So this season:
Swindon 3 Pompey 1
Northampton 4 Pompey 1
Bristol Rovers 3 Pompey 1

Charlton 0 Plymouth 1
Burton 4 Charlton 2
Charlton 0 MK1
SWIN*** 2 Charlton 2

This is true for all clubs. I expect that the occasional supporter from those clubs will be blaming 5 or 6 performances and suggesting that they would be clear had they played well in those games.

 

[SteMerritt]

Unless sunderland lose both OR draw and lose and we overturn a -10 goal difference.

Us score 10 goals in 2 games, one away game followed by one home game... Christ, when was the last time that happened? Oh, 2 weeks ago

 

[BeechRoadBokelberg]

The way Pompey and Charlton threw it away today wouldn’t surprise me if we sneaked in with 72 points!!

Roll on Saturday - can’t wait!

Even would be worth it to see that smug look from Power plastered all over FB

What is your opinion on that excellent winning streak we had then? Who was responsible for that?

Asking for a friend.

 

[FatOldSun]

Charlton have completely fluked this. 39% possession and two shots on target at home to the side 15th in the league. Jammy sods.

Assuming no last-minute drama, tonight couldn't really have gone much worse for us.

You know what assuming makes? An ass out of you and ming.

 

[ttg17]

What a difference 30 seconds makes! Those Accrington and Crewe goals have completely changed the complexion of the run-in.

Blackpool are in the playoffs now. I know Sunderland are in poor form but that's still a big win. They'll be joined by Lincoln and Sunderland. So it's between us, Charlton and Pompey for that final spot.

Charlton not winning is MASSIVE. This was their big chance to get 3 points. They now need to go to Accrington and then play Lincoln and Hull in their last two fixtures, all in the space of 8 days. It'll obviously depend on our results, but they'll need two wins and a draw from them to get to 74 points. That's a huge ask. Not to mention the psychological blow of conceding an equaliser in the 96th minute.

Pompey not winning is less significant on paper, as this was probably their hardest game remaining, but again, the psychological blow of going ahead in stoppage time and not seeing it out will be huge. Given our superior goal difference, we'll probably only now need one more point than them over the last two games to overtake them. Not impossible at all.

Elsewhere, Burton are looking ominously good, and Shrews got 5 yellow cards. Why couldn't one of them just get sent off ffs.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Yawn.

 

[Northstandboy]

Burton are on a fantastic run, they will be a tough one.

 

[Oxford84]

accrington had 24 shots on goal against portsmouth.

 

[ljs]

Yes, if they lose, my original mistake, point should do it

Lincoln are only 8 points behind with 3 still to play, so could still overtake Peterborough.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Hopefully with some decent investment from the new owners we can break into the playoffs next season. Not going to happen this season.

"Elsewhere, Burton are looking ominously good, and Shrews got 5 yellow cards. Why couldn't one of them just get sent off ffs."

I don't think so...OK, they won tonight (Fleetwood just one place above them) and also beat Doncaster (just three places above them), but have only drawn against Wigan and Plymouth, and lost to Lincoln in their last five games. They've won 4, drawn 3, and lost 3 over their last 10 games. Knowing us, of course, we could give up a last-minute goal to ruin everything, but I don't think that we should be too worried about them.
