If we beat Wycombe and Pompey beat Bolton I think we're there.
I'm very nervous about Wycombe now.
It's been 28 years since we were last promoted automatically... It's not exactly something we're used to as a fan base and you can tell in nerves of the fans.

Bolton playing Pompey who still have something to play for next weekend, Bolton were honking today by all accounts and very fortunate. I don’t think they’re a particularly happy camp, some of their fans seem to think Evatt has fallen out with players, there’s a soft underbelly there when things don’t go right. There is every conceivable chance they will drop points, if they don’t then fair play. 
It’s all about us. Bolton fans will be praying we slip up on Wednesday because they’re relying on us to. On paper we have the easiest fixtures left. I’m hoping we get it done by Cambridge but that will largely be down to Bolton, but going into the last game with it in our hands has to be the aim and we have a very good chance to do that. 
 
I think we’ll draw with Wycombe, beat Leyton Orient, Bolton draw with Pompey, Bolton beat Shrewsbury, Derby beat Cambridge and Bolton beat Vale, taking it to the last day with us still 1 point ahead at home to Carlisle with Bolton away at Posh. We’ll beat Carlisle and I think Bolton for good measure will drop points at Posh.
We’re going to do this!!

It's like when Studger went to Torquay. 🤪

Sorry mate think it’s just how you view things probably based on years of disappointment as a Derby fan which I can understand. Yes we could drop points to Wycombe, Bolton defo could drop points to Pompey and everyone seems to assume Posh will be out of it and rolling over on the last day. As for GD, who is to say we won’t smash bottom of the league Carlisle 5-0 last day of the season? 

Only thing that is certain right now is we’re a net second on points with 4 games you would expect us to win. We should be confident. 2 wins this week and think the champagne will need to go on ice, dropped points then we’ll still be in the fight to the last day.

Shocking from Paul Warne today, did nothing to stop Bolton getting three points at Bristol's big team.

I was watching on tv but as @LeedsCityRam said that atmosphere is wasted on 3rd tier. This is a championship game, add Bolton to the mix also!
Really like Mousinho from when he was Burton captain. Always spoke well, the obvious choice as PFA leader then he’s taken to management outstandingly. Pompey have got lucky and tonight has confirmed (albeit not mathematically) they’re going up.
This is a good point for us and think it could well be decisive!! 

Back home…
Excellent performance. Points from me:
- adventurous line up. Well done Warne.
- CBT, superb. Keep this up in the last four games and this is a new player for us.
- Adams, incredible force in the middle. If he had a passing range, well, he wouldn’t be in L1
- Ward - pleased for him. First goal super finish, second he got a good break 
- Wildsmith - having watched the goal back, does he have a weakness on long range shots (thinking Stevenage as well). He has to do better and stop that. I don’t think he’s as good as he or is think he is.
- The fans - we were incredible. Loud from the get go. Quieter second half as expected with their pressure.
There was a point in the first half though when just about all four stands were jumping around if you’re going up (or whatever the phrase is). It was awesome to see.
Portsmouth are good. It felt like a Championship quality game as well. 

Overall,  very satisfied as wasn’t expecting anything.

Thanks pal. Thought your support was tremendous also, stayed with them even when trailing for a lot of the game. 
Agree point was fair & suits both teams. Hopefully see you in Championship next season, that atmosphere was wasted on the 3rd tier.

I’d be very interested to know what their wage budget is for this season and reckon it would be around the figures you’re quoting for top 6.
However - £23.6m being 14th highest wage bill and £35.9m being 7th highest is frightening!! When Mel was going mad overpaying our wage bill was £45m so not much more. Just shows we’ve got it all on to compete when we do get back to the championship. Hopefully being leaner with a couple of astute signings, clever use of loan market and a couple of academy players able to make the step up at the right time will give us a chance. 

Top end midtable/top 6 I reckon backing I reckon certainly considerably more backing than Warne would get next season in the championship. Their budget will be more than Ipswich, and even the baggies, Cov, Preston the majority of the teams fighting for that 5th and 6th spot. Look at the signings they’ve made. Philogene £5m+, Aaron Connolly who won’t be on cheap wages either, Delap will come with a hefty wage contribution. He’s done a solid job at Hull but no more. 
FWIW I didn’t agree with letting him go and i liked what he was trying to build, but I also don’t get those (mainly on Twitter) who whenever Hull win point Rosenior effectively saying “this is what we could’ve won” and use it as another stick to beat Warne with. There are no guarantees we’d have fared any better under Liam, I actually don’t think we would’ve fared any better.

Went to that 4-0 at white hart lane. We were 3-0 down after 13 mins, think even Darren Bent managed to score and he was crap at spurs

Our first game in “the 11-point season” was a 2-2 draw against Pompey.  I remember leaving the ground thinking “that was pretty good, I think we’ll do alright this season”.
