The atmosphere at the home games helped get us through in the end. Maybe it can do it again. It’s quite incredible when you think about it that we have only won automatic promotion once in 37 years.

Eoghan1884 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 After today, I think (stupidly) it’s between only us and Bolton. For Peterborough and Barnsley, they’d have to win 4 games in a row without us picking up a point to overtake us. I can't see either of them getting more than 5 wins from their last 7 either which would mean we would need to win 2 of our last 5 to ensure we finish above them. For Bolton then they’ve only had 3 wins in their last 10 picking up just 13 points out of a possible 30 while we have picked up 21 points in our last 10. Gonna be tight and tense for the last 5 games but we certainly are well on our way. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadAmster Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 in our own hands. That's all you can ask for. A win on Tuesday (not an easy task at Pompey) and we have to be as good as up, surely? DiggerB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It all depends upon the length of the match threads. A win today warrants about 25 pages, whereas a defeat at Northampton generates around 60. All we need to do is steal @RoyMac5's laptop and we're there. Grimbeard, Wolfie20 and MaltRam 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 For me 8pts seals the deal. Bolton will get no more than 13 from 18 PBoro no more than 16 from 21. Probably get less as they still have 8 games to play Barnsley nah We've better goal difference so 88 pts may be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bolton win their next two and we lose to Portsmouth, we will need to match their results in the last 4 games. Portsmouth and Peterborough could have nothing to play for against Bolton which could be an issue. If we can beat Portsmouth I’d be fairly sure we’re going up.

I reckon Sky would enjoy that last day a lot more than us... at least until the final whistle! Not sure we all (on here) have sufficient good health to get through that in one piece! 😲 archram, DCFC1388 and Crewton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
