With respect I'll be saving all this for when, or if, we ever get promoted to the Premier League. Or win the FA Cup. Something that really signifies over-achievement or something truly special. I don't think this is it.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be delighted come 5pm when we're out of this lousy league but we're only going back to where we should always have been except with a poorer squad and - from what I've seen this season of the Championship - a higher standard of football generally than when we were last in it.

We should never have been docked 21 points imo, and never have been relegated. But we were, and massive well done to Paul Warne and the players for getting us out after two seasons. With the squad we have we should be challenging at the top of the table. I went to the end of season awards last night and it was great to have such a positive vibe in the room.

But, in my humble opinion, it's not worth some of the overly emotive stuff I've read on this forum in the last few days. 

Who knows who will be around when we reach the prem again or win a cup. These last few years have shown that you have to appreciate these possible moments.

Young player of the year, Cashin

Pathetic Posh

He's kicking has been inconsistent but overall, he is a very good keeper for the level

So, what's everyone's favourite type of 🍿

Salty for notts forest 

Atwell messing decisions up?!

If we do it, who's going to struggle to hold back the tears, with everything that's gone on in the last few years

I missed the late 70’s glory years and starting supporting The Rams in the 70s so the mid to late 80s and late 90s are my glory years.  But if we get over the line next week it feels like this one would mean more.  I put that down partly to being a little bit older (not necessarily wiser!!) and the amazing turn round in 2 years.  2 years ago, we were a week away from going bust.  Now we’re a week away from a potential return to the championship 🤞.

If it happens @DarkFruitsRam7, enjoy and saviour every moment.

Exactly. Our club probably deserves Premier league but promotions don't come along very often in the life of a football fan. As you say, enjoy every moment

So what are we hoping for in Peterborough's next game against Cheltenham? Points dropped so they're out of the running for 2nd, or a win so that they'll still be playing for something against Bolton on Saturday, but with the (relatively small) risk that they could take 2nd?

Posh win

Not done yet but if we do finish the job, the Bolton win, as it felt at the time, was the game

Same team. Bird instead of Fornah. Let's go!

God no. Get it over with ASAP. I really don't get this desire for a mad, stressful, day against Carlisle. Id rather be turning up knowing we're up and having a bloody lovely time of it.

It's never easy though, it's the Derby way!

Does anyone else hope we just match their result on Sat..

Thank you Shrewsbury Town FC

Get in!!

Well done Pompey

Chrissy Martin scores

Portsmouth equalise 

Posh leading

Yes, but they would need to lose both remaining games and us win them.

1 draw and 1 loss for them and 2 wins for us
