Re: The Nostradamus file....

About the same point as when Ipswich visited last year. Some teams get "we'regoingupitis" about this time of year and I think Pompey have probably caught it, not having lost in 10 matches (we've lost 3 in that time). If (as we say), we are the real deal and capable of the mental side as well as the ...

Re: Pirates but not from Penzance. Away to Bristol Sat 6th Apr. 3-0'clock

Professional performance today, get the job done three points in the bag and move on. The importance of next week cannot be underestimated, win and I truly fancy us to grab second place. If we do end up in the play offs , looking at the other teams, I fear no one and would be confident of promotion...

Great 3 points - at this stage of the season its about results not performances.

Baxter excellent.
Next week feels like the defining week. They're coming to ours as Champions elect, we need 3 points. No time to hide the "A" game under a Bush.

According to the stats JDB apparently wasn't fouled all game.

Baxter = clean sheet away. 2 saves of note in that second half kept us in it. We also conceded possession to Bristol and came out 2 nil victors. It's a strange old game.
Baxter makes a huge difference...

Not great, but 0-1 would do.

They've probably had the better chance, we're saving them washing fciking Jedward's kit.

Re: Pirates but not from Penzance. Away to Bristol Sat 6th Apr. 3-0'clock

Still "doable" and whilst it might not mathematically be "must win," feels like we, at least, need to better Derby's next result and win game in hand. I'd be disappointed if we didn't win, given next up is Pompey.

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

Aye. As I've said before, I think for some, negativity is a self-protection mechanism - assume the worst and you won't be disappointed. Although some of the loudest voices last week seem rather quieter this week, which doesn't help dispel the notion that there's a masochistic desire to fail. One pe...

^^ Just as an aside, 2017 - we had a bit of a hiccup from here, last 5 games netting only 7 points, which kept us guessing until 2 to play (or so)...

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

The bookies are optimistic enough to be offering 1/125 on Pompey, But yeah, win 5 and we leave Pompey needing 7 points from 5 games and Derby needing all 12 from 4, it feels a bit glue-sniffing to think Pompey are not going to manage that. We draw a couple and it starts to look very tough. Edit: It'...

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

I think keeper for keeper, there's not a lot in it. I do think we look a chunk more shaky as a defensive unit with Coleman - just a little less trusting and maybe more likely to concede, but not particularly unhappy with either. Think Coleman had a pretty poor start - but that can happen when you've...
