What we/they did in the past is immaterial. This is now. Get in there and win. :Jedi:

Rest of the top 5 play each other. Win today would be big big big.
Aye.
Derby (4th) v Posh (3rd) - draw please. (That and a win for us would have us 4pts clear of 3rd.)

Pompey (1st) v Stevenage (5th) - away win please. (Stevenage are 5pts behind us from a game more.)

Hey DJ, I’m still not sure where I can find the couch.

No surprises with the line up so a thunderous COYWM it is!
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!

And the key to a result is a good :kettle:

Jones out of the line up in favour of Forrester which means a welcome return for Matheson. Going to be interesting to see if he gets any game time today.

Seems like Burton taking an age over a throw in already.

Maybe this is a theme we'll see through the rest of the match. Whatever happened to those 8+ mins of stoppage time for stuff like that.

More timewasting protestations from their keeper.

Quite so, especially if we keep winning

Not a good sign. Quite fortuitous that they've dropped 7 points in the past three games which has given us a chance to sniff around top spot.

Would've thought Stevenage might be able to upset the apple cart, but equally Portsmouth are probably looking to put a marker down on the chasing pack like they did against us.

Great ball from Rico, lovely run by Vic and a good save. Perhaps a touch of confusion with Maghoma. Unlucky not to be 1-0 up.

Maghoma linking up with Charles who decides to take it on himself rather than doing the 1-2-1 with Maghoma.

There's a few times i've seen Maghoma being frustrated at the lack of a 1-2-1 being played out. Seems either Maghoma's frustrations are not sitting well with others or they're not overly keen on setting up Maghoma.

Hopefully something or nothing, but its just notably played out a few times.
