    I hope you like real ale.
    If so a pub tour is recommended.
    Brunswick, Alexandra, Smithfield, Exeter Arms, being my pick.
    Countryside is lovely...not so much in March though. Enjoy.

    I did work experience at the Post Office, when I was at school.
    I was really too young for the job. We would sit in the sorting office, listening to the radio, putting the parcels in order.
    Every time the music stopped, I would open one.

    In my opinion this match is THE most important one of the season. Win and we are 7 points clear which Bolton will have to get something out of 3 of their 7 games left. Draw and it is still squeeky bum time. We must not lose. Approach this one right from the start and I believe we have one foot in the promotion door. Draw and we have one toe in the door. Lose we have one knacker in the door! UTR.

    5 wins puts us on 93. Posh, Bolton and Barnsley can all reach 95 if they win all their remaining games. Posh and Bolton play each other so they can't both win all games. Win 6 and nobody can reach us.
    All ifs and buts. Basically, we get as many points as the chasing pack in the remaining games and we are home and dry. 
    Que sera, sera. One game at a time. COYR.

    Psychologically, Saturday is mammoth. With Bolton not playing, if we can get a win to put ourselves 7 points ahead of them, that will seem a huge number.

    I only know this because I found it pretty funny that Fleetwood sent someone with his complexion to play football in the desert.

    Just in case some of the younger supporters might think the above contains a typo here is the important bit again "We were the English Champions"😂

    4 wins should be enough. Really helpful if two of those are in the next two games, but not sure where the goals are coming from without Collins and Gayle. Hopefully most games are against teams with nothing to play for by the time we play them. Games against the bottom sides look easy on paper but they are usually fighting tooth and nail.

    As Dom Dietrich might say, these are “take it or leave it” stats. Below is my attempt at showing the league position of the opponents our direct competitors face on the run in:
    Portsmouth- 12 2 17 3 5 11 7- average 8.14
    Derby- 14 9 1 12 10 20 24- average 12.9
    Bolton- 8 18 13 1 17 23 4- average 12
    P’Boro- 24 10 23 6 22 13 21 3- average 15.3
    Barnsley- 20 19 16 8 18 1 9 14- average 13.1
    I haven’t considered home or away ties, but on the face it Portsmouth have by far the hardest run in, playing us, Bolton and Barnsley. My personal preference would be for them to beat Barnsley and Bolton, let them take the title, and it gives us more breathing space on the final day. But looking at it another way, if we can beat them on 2 April and other results go against them, might we be looking at a title push?? I would love that, for B4 if nothing else.
    Peterborough have the easiest run in and face all three bottom teams, although I noticed they are one of only four teams to play midweek before the final game of the season- which for them is a massive 6-pointer against Bolton.
    Our games seem to get “easier” as time goes on, whereas others are more mixed. Portsmouth finish against one the form teams of Europe (I’d guess?) in Lincoln. Let’s see if the Imps are still averaging three goals a game by then- if they are, they might well finish 4th or 5th!
    Final point- our GD is 4 better than Portsmouth, 7 better than Bolton and P’Boro and 13 better than Barnsley. That could well be the half point advantage that makes a difference come 27th April…
