Hope we are'nt giving it the LARGE one too soon.

Yep, if we are in a good position wanting a point come the last game of the season you would want to play a team already relegated. No disrespect to Paul Simpson's team but I do think they will be long relegated prior to this match.

Hope Lincoln keep it up, they play home to Pompey last game of the season.

The top two in this form table have done really well and as good as they have done, I can't see them keeping it up. Pompey have gone 11 matches since their last defeat, a 3-0 home defeat against Orient. But in that time 5 of their wins have been by the odd goal and out of them 11 fixtures, 7 were against teams in the bottom half of the table. They have only played 4 teams from the top half, drawing 2 and winning one by the odd goal, the other was a thumping of Northampton. They have 5 teams to play in the top half of the table in their remaining 8 games and all 5 teams are in with a chance of promotion.  Lincoln's 12 match unbeaten run looks a little better than Pompey's, but only 7 wins (stand out 5-1 at Barnsley) and 5 draws, but only played 4 teams from the top half of the table (drawing 3 of them).

I see Portsmouth game on the 23rd at home to Barnsley is now off because they have 3 called up for international duties. It's rearranged for Tuesday 16th April. That gives Pompey their last 4 games; Bolton away, Barnsley home, Wigan home and Lincoln away.

Gayle didn't come in the window though - anyone moaning that we needed a striker was proved right.

The missing piece of the jigsaw to our promotion chances. We can't afford for him to get injured in the next 8 games.

I want him to get a hat-trick in his next match.

Lets keep the best goal difference up right to to the end of the season, cos it could be vital in this current top 5 places.

Pompey had another penalty tonight against lowly placed Burton. They managed to win 2-1, they have a few injuries and their next 4 matches are not easy, starting with Peterboro away, Barnsley home, Wycombe away then Derby at home. Peterboro have only lost 3 times at home, Barnsley have only lost once on the road, Wycombe have lost 6 at home, it's going to be the test for them. If they get through them 4 games their next 4 are Shrewsbury home, Bolton away, wigan home and Lincoln away.

If Barnsley, Peterboro and Derby win all their games going down to the last 2 matches, that would mean all three would beat Pompey which would only give them a maximum of 89 points (that would include them winning the other 3 games, one away to Bolton). Barnsley would have just Blackpool away and Northampton at home, Peterboro would have Bristol away and Bolton at home. We would be 4 points clear of Pompey, 2 points clear of Barnsley and 1 point clear of Peterboro with Cambridge away and Carlisle at home. The bookies would not bet against us in the scenario.

The missing piece of the jigsaw to our promotion chances. We can't afford for him to get injured in the next 8 games.

The most league wins away in the clubs history was equalled today (12), with 4 away games to play will we beat it.
Also, most league wins in a season is 28, back in 1955/56 season in Division 3 North. Currently on 22 with 9 matches to play (It's possible).
Most league points in a season was 2013/14 with 85, can we get 14 points or more with 27 points still at stake.
