Bessie1 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Posh v Bolton will be Peterborough’s seventh game in 20 days - they’ll be exhausted and also saving themselves for the playoffs. Before that, Bolton have two home games against lowly opposition. I know anyone can lose to anyone else on their day, but Bolton v Pompey is clearly massive for us.

I mentioned that port vale and Bristol Rovers should have been totally tanked from the position we were in as goals could be important. Unfortunately, they've clawed back 4 goals over two easier fixtures than we had. I'm surprised as they were working with water pistols and only had a million quids worth of signings up top with more on the bench . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose to Portsmouth they could be 7 points behind us with 3 games to play, and we could wrap up promotion at Cambridge. Wednesday is obviously massive for us, but next Saturday's swing could be pivotal. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we're playing a similar team, albeit they have a bit more up top, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Derby are still in a far stronger position than Bolton. Not only do we have a point advantage, we have easier games and a better goal difference. Even if we lose to Wycombe, Bolton will drop two points somewhere and if it comes down to GD, we'll be fine as we'll probably add another +7 (at least) from the final three games. Bolton won't be +8 over the next four games. No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolton won't be +8 over the next four games. No chance. I love your new found positivity BUT, I wouldn't quite describe it as a "far stronger" position. The gap is only one point and the goal difference is only +2. The next six days are immense. By next Sunday we could be anywhere between 2 points behind (with Bolton still having a game in hand) and our goal difference advantage overturned to 7 points clear with a healthy goal difference. My gut feeling is: Played GD Points Derby 44 +36 86 (draw at Wycombe and beat Orient by a single goal) Bolton 43 +33 82 (draw with Pompey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Tried watching the Posh / Wankey Wanderers game, but it's like walking football. I'd expected Peterborough to try and stretch the play given the size of the pitch, but they've not looked good at all. WW just sitting deep and hoping Posh make a mistake. Not much chance of them being leggy against us at this rate, I've seen higher intensity training games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
