DCFC1388 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I still think we will get 2nd, going into easter weekend I thought we would get 4 points from Blackpool, Pompey & Wycombe and we have ended up getting 5 points so despite last nights result we are still in a better position than I expected. I watched Bolton vs Bristol at the weekend & they were dreadful, if they keep playing like that there is no chance of them winning all 4 games. Hopefully Port Vale need something when Bolton play them & Darren Moore can do us a favour. 7 points from our final 3 may still be enough too as that would mean Bolton winning 3 of their 4 games which would mean it going down to goal difference. I see Bolton getting 8 points max. We will all know more by 5pm Sat, if we win & Bolton drop points its right in our hands and we will all feel more positive. r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never going to be straight forward.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I see us finishing 3rd. The last 3 games are completely winnable, just like Northampton and Wycombe were. For some reason we fail to perform against struggling teams when it matters. Prove me wrong Paul. Tamworthram and CapeTownRams 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason we fail to perform against struggling teams when it matters. Prove me wrong Paul. The main problem finishing 3rd, is the team going into the play offs with a negative mindset. Would Warney be able to lift them, having been so close, but ultimately failing to clinch an auto spot? Perhaps, the teams finishing 4th 5th or even 6th better placed, psychologically.

I guess it depends how and when they finish third. I wonder if there's stats out there to show how the third place team do after dropping there at the final hurdle! I'm tempted to side with @europia on this. If we end up third now, it won't just be the players who will need a psychological lift! ... *Although last day failure might be good for the forum, what with a 100 page matchday thread, and lots of lovely "told you so" threads! 👀 europia and ck- 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 8 hours ago, ram59 said: Although statistics suggest otherwise, 3rd place wins the play offs more than any other. You beat me to it but then I thought, maybe it’s true but on many occasions, the team 3rd is actually better than those in 4th, 5th and 6th (as suggested by the league table). Perhaps the psychological advantage partly offsets this but more often than not not by enough. 🤷🏻. The worry is, if my random theory is right, we’re not noticeable better than Barnsley and Posh/Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Today is massive, we really need Pompey to get something from Bolton as they’ve got 2 easy games coming up, could say the same about Oxford getting something from Posh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood P Dowd Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 A win for Cambridge, on Tuesday against the Gas, then Cambridge should be safe from relegation with nothing play for in the game against us. Carlisle already relegated Please Derby no more Drama just a nice controlled 6 points from the last 2 games and we are there, no matter what anyone else does.🐏🐏🐏 r_wilcockson, Crewton, S8TY and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Do Bolton have a disappointing draw in them still? You have to wonder if there's a bit of the Bolton psyche that says today was the day if they were going to do it, and not winning portsmouth taks the wind out of them, the comments in the match thread suggest that Bolton gave it everything today.

DCFC1388 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Shrews need something away at Bolton & as we know they're not the easiest to beat at home as we failed to do so....so hopefully Shrews can cause an upset at Bolton, a draw will do Reggie Greenwood and r_wilcockson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 We win next game. Bolton loose and Portsmouth loose. We go into the last game with 2nd confirmed, and a chance to still secure the title. COYR. maxjam and RadioactiveWaste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthram Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I thought that Pompey had lady luck today, one shot on target and that was their goal. In the dying seconds of the match a Portsmouth defender handled the ball in the 18 yard box and the ref waved play on. They've also had a shed load of penalties awarded to them this season compared with us. Love to see Barnsley beat them on Tuesday night, followed by a home draw against Wigan (They won at Lincoln today). Then last game they are away to Lincoln. We win our 2 remaining fixtures and take the title on goal difference. r_wilcockson and TigerTedd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
