In many ways, I fear Bolton and Posh more than Pompey

Bolton seem to play bottom half team at home every week but they have a hard run in at the end of the season: us at Pride Park and also Barnsley (A), Oxford (H), Stevenage (A), Pompy (H) and finish on Peterborough (A)

Portsmouth have just 5 points from last 5 games.

Lost at Bristol Rovers and Cheltenham

Drew at Exeter and home to Cheltenham

Won home to Stevenage.

There would be an apocolypse on here if we had that run of results. 2 points from 3 of the bottom 5.

They are also yet to play Oxford yet due to postponements.

Not looking too rosey for them, wonder if it's injury related?

More trouble reported in the household of Bolton’s right back. Apparently his wife decided she wanted to make pancakes so she bought a bag of flour. Said right back pointed out that they already had four bags in the cupboard so this was a waste of money. The atmosphere was already tense after she bought more Christmas lights because they were ‘in the sale’ when in his opinion they already had more than enough and this was an unnecessary expense. There have apparently been some very terse comments leading to an unwelcome frosty atmosphere. Not sure if this is true as the information I got wasn’t very detailed but it might be something that we could take advantage of.

Bolton's draw today in the cup adds at least one more fixture to their list and they already have one more than we do. Hopefully, the extra fixtures will have an adverse affect on them.

Good shout. Losing vs Crewe in 1st Round was pretty dire. But when you see us beating Fleetwood and climbing level with Peteborough, whilst they are getting smashed 3-0 by Leeds, feels like we were better off.

It could be argued that our cup run cost us our play off place last season, Bird having a lengthy lay off after the 4th round match against West Ham coincided with our bad run.

Without diving into actual home and away form for all the teams, it looks like the best hope for today is damage limitation as none of our rivals seem to have too hard a game.

Maybe Charlton can do us a favour and beat Peterborough. We'd then move up to third without even playing. 🤞

It’s January and how other teams do is fairly irrelevant until we know the strength of teams after the window shuts

I'd argue how other teams do is totally relevant - no matter what is done in the transfer window, points won/lost now will determine where clubs finish at the end of the season.
