Kangaroo skin boots? Will put a spring in our step at least.

It seems @Comrade 86 that your match preview has gone down about as well as a turd in a Jambalaya on the Wycombe forum.

You'd think, living in High Wycombe, they'd appreciate a bit of humour to take their minds off parking problems and the lack of affordable housing, but seemingly not. 
It's like we're supposed to be grateful or some-such.
 

Think it’s becoming more obvious that a super league or rules to benefit the top 6 will be ramped up in the next few years. 
 
PL don’t dare go against the big clubs because they want to be ‘the best with the best players’. 
 
EFL is that in the mud compared to PL that no PL clubs will want to help out the pyramid and instead will cross their toes and hope they never go down again. Or if they do parachute payments will allow them to go back up.
Sad times for the English game.

A colleague said to me "you're up now arent you" this morning - then treated him to a long lesson on the years of Derby disappointment and blowing it at the last moment. Feel he will never mention football to me again 😂
Please Derby 🤞🤞🤞

It’s unreal how dismissive you are of the club and team you claim to support.
Current top 6 are Portsmouth, Bolton, Barnsley, Peterborough, Lincoln and us. 

Against Portsmouth this season we drew home (1-1) and away (2-2).
Against Bolton we lost away (2-1) and won at home (1-0).
Against Barnsley we won at home (3-0) and lost away (2-1)

Against Peterborough we won away (2-4) and lost at home (2-3)
Against Lincoln we won at home (3-1) and drew away (0-0)
As you mentioned Stevenage I’ll include them and Oxford too as they were in and around the play off positions most of the season;
Against Stevenage we lost away (3-1) and won at home (1-0)
Against Oxford we lost at home (1-2) and won away (2-3)
To me my original point stands that this season we’ve done better against the teams around us than we did last season, I can’t be bothered looking for the stats but if I remember correctly one of the big criticisms last year from certain quarters was that we didn’t compete well enough with the teams around us. This year I think we have, the results back that up, the fact we are second in the table with 4 games to go backs that up, the fact we’re one of the best scoring teams in the league and the best defences backs that up….. so I’ll carry on being a happy and optimistic little ram while you…. Do whatever it is you do 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

It's a shame Bolton's match v Posh isn't sooner when it potentially has more riding on it.

Looking at Bolton’s fixtures, anything less than 10 points from their last 5 is a slip up from them.
Rovers away and Shrewsbury & Vale at home should be 9 points.
They should be able to get 1 point minimum from Portsmouth at home and Peterborough away. After last night, Portsmouth may be happy for a point again. They could go up in the Bolton game, but if they don’t lose then Bolton won’t catch them and they’re as good as up anyway.
If we aren’t already up by the Carlisle game, hopefully Peterborough are 3 points behind us too. If they have any chance of getting top 2, they’ll give Bolton a much harder game than if they’re already confirmed in the play-offs.
That means 10 points should be more than enough for us, or 9 points and hope we can rely on goal difference. Bolton winning the rest of their games would mean 6 wins in a row which they haven’t done all season. They also seem to go missing in “big” games and although they can score a lot, they don’t always follow that up with another good performance.
I’d be surprised if 4 wins are necessary for us to get over the line, but I think if we don’t manage to win 3 of the 4 then it won’t be enough. I think we’ll do it, but only just.

Wycombe next, just 3 days after their Cup Final against Peterborough. There will be a few tired legs on the pitch.
Then Leyton Orient who have won just 1 in 6 and ate now pretty much out of the Playoff race.
A tricky away game vs Cambridge fighting for survival, but should be safe by the time we play them. They've won their last 2, but went 7 without a win before that.
Finishing off against soon to be relegated Carlisle, managed by someone who would surely give us a helping hand if we needed it

Solid point. We can talk about if, buts and maybes but to go to the leaders and match them toe to toe in that weather is some effort. 
 
Football is an unpredictable beast but we have 4 winnable matches now. We’d be desperately unlucky for Bolton, Posh and Barnsley not to drop anymore points. 
 
Let’s enjoy Saturday off and hopefully a couple of teams do us a favour.

A mention to Sibley, a shaky first 10/15 but after that he did very well against one of the best wingers in the league.

Think it'll be 1-0 Pompey unfortunately. 
We don't control games and our fire power is pretty much limited to our starting XI so if that gets negated then we don't have anyone to come off the bench and steal us the points. 
If i was offered a boring 0-0 i'd snap your hands off. 

I’ve got a horrible feeling tonight will be very similar to Ipswich away last season, where we just didn’t lay a glove on them. Gayle, Barks, Nyambe, Forsyth and Bird would’ve made a world of difference too and you could argue that they’d all be starting if fit. Although I will say despite my pessimism if we do nick a goal we’re as likely as anyone to see it out, so who knows. 
 
Up the rams.
