Watching NML closely…. Not 100% himself ??? Decided not to take on the full back when one-on-one and then opted out of a 50/50 challenge…. Wonder if he’s still worrying re his hamstring ???? Wilson not on his game yet either… Wish we would calm things down a bit and play controlled football…. Feel they are there for the taking but we don’t need to take risks at the back…

We seem to be forcing the passes too much in the final third…need to relax…

To be fair to CBT I’m not sure the pass was the easiest to deal with… would like to see that back. Game too open.

What a miss ! Northampton all again !?

Sorry- probably missed this elsewhere… but is Ward confirmed as being out tonight ?

👍 No doubt an early goal is what we really need to settle nerves…

It was supposed to finish yesterday…

Well…. U r correct occasionally 😂😎

Really nervous and anxious about tonight…. It will either be a great or awful day…no in-between.😳 If ever there was a game where we need an early goal and the rub of the green…. COYR 🐏🐏🐏🐏

If the MLS is anything to go by then he will make it a ‘no contact’’ sport/game… not sure who that benefits most, but Ebou needs to be careful when getting stuck in…

If there’s an advantage it will be late in the game, so if it’s still 0-0 at about 65 mins I expect us to really push on. Even with substitutions they will be susceptible to attacks at pace. For this reason I don’t want to see PW taking CBT or Nat off around that time (unless we are 2-0 up or more of course).

Of course, each to their own 👍 But I am , particularly after Northampton game, worried about the Wycombe match. The boys have to deliver. 🐏🐏🐏

Not gonna disagree with your points and analysis 😎👍 Except, I honestly believe we are more likely to lose games than Bolton. Doesn’t mean we won’t win all four … just that I see us either winning or losing( PW’s mantra) games rather than drawing. Whereas Bolton on an off day will draw. Just my feeling at the moment. How that transpires and what it means to the overall position at the end of the season I really don’t know 😂 Just a massive week for us- we win at Wycombe and Bolton don’t win against Pompey then I think we should be ok. 👌

Exactly what we will have to face next game. Man, we need an early goal and/or a stroke of luck ..

What is a small surge ? 😎

Fair play to Pompey- u guys have been (one small wobble aside) the most consistent team all season and deserve to go up. Your Jan spending/recruitment was good and has paid dividends. It’s not about playing nice football in this league- it’s just about winning games and escaping to the Championship. You guys have done that well.

Tactically I thought it was interesting today how Wycombe played against Posh today. Thought they did well in shutting them down. More of the same against us I suspect…

I think we thought the same at Northampton….😎

The way things are going we won’t have a better GD than Bolton. They have far more firepower than us and have managed two five goal games in a month. How many of those have we managed !!? They will outscore us up to the end of the season and it’s not like they ship a massive amount of goals.. To my mind it’s win all four or the playoffs. After the Northampton fiasco the Wycombe game really worries me. People judge them as cloggers but they can play as well- check out their thrashing of Posh earlier in the season.. What price a draw between Bolton and pompey ???

What’s best for us ..??…. Wycombe winning or losing against Posh in the final ??

Worrying how much form Collins has now found for Bolton. I’ve always said that I could see GD becoming a real deciding factor and our lead in that regard has almost gone. The way they are playing I can see them quite easily outscoring us to the end of the season. In that case it’s just about wins- honestly believe we must win all four. Massive pressure now on us to win at Wycombe.

It will be an ugly ugly game with Wycombe adopting the exact same tactics as did Northampton. We will have to bludgeon our way through I fear.

Goodness me 😳

To me it’s simple- all these four games are winnable and any would-be promotion team at this stage of the season needs to be winning them.

Gotcha. And fair point- I agree. So, guess the question now is how we play them both in their favored positions,,,??😎
