    Who do you want to come up/down to the third tier?

    That's a fair point. The 2008 crash precipitated our near demise. Accumulating debts seems workable until an event causes the banks to say "actually, we'd quite like all our money back now".

    Sat 6th April fixtures

    Just about did enough for the win today, helped by an own goal and a dodgy pen. The team looked tired after the strength sapping draw with Derby on Tuesday. Salop were decent and could easily have come away with a point. The ground was bouncing again. Weird to think that we will be promoted if...

    Social Media innit. Lincoln have every right to prioritise their own fans. However, there will be plenty of generally pissed off Pompey fans who wont get a ticket for what should (touch wood) have a party atmosphere for us. Away tickets have been tough to obtain second half of the season. I...

    Don't think you ever need to be that great to get into the playoffs, just reasonably consistent. We were very ordinary under Kenny Jackett but easily reached the playoffs twice.

    1st/2nd April Fixtures

    Happy with a point after going behind twice. Pretty tight game in tricky conditions. We've been waiting for Moxon to get on the score sheet and what a time to do it. 7 points needed from 5 games now.

    Who do you want to come up/down to the third tier?

    Interesting to see that previously steady, sensible Plymouth have hit the panic button and given Ian Foster the boot after just 3 months. Sometimes a perilous league position can cause a club to throw out all their principles and chase a quick fix. It will be interesting to if they turn to Red...

    Bolton, Boro and Barnsley all bounced back from Good Friday disappointment to keep themselves in the hunt for the autos. All eyes will be on Fratton tonight and I'm guessing none of the three teams want a Derby win? Lincoln are still the form team for the final playoff place but Oxford had...

    Does Evatt have full control over signings? We moved away from that when Rich Hughes came in as Sporting Director during 22/23 season, and our transfer business has made much more sense since then.

    Says the man who's club was essentially handed a free, new stadium. Yes, there are badly run clubs at every level. However, the premier league's own huge parachute payments are a massive reason why competing clubs get into debt.

    1st/2nd April Fixtures

    All our home and away games have been selling out pretty rapidly this season. Ground will be full and the atmosphere should be tasty. I would say that we'd be ok with a draw given our situation but the team seem in a hurry to get the job done. Our record against the teams around us has been...

    Rafferty is likely to be backup rather than first team if we go up. If injuries hadn't held him back, young Zak Swanson would possibly have his place by now. He has a much higher ceiling. Maybe our Sporting Director has already earmarked someone else for right back? I'd be surprised if we...

    There are far worse posters than Masi IMO - I generally enjoy his posts. I also like it when someone backs their team like this. It's bold but risks ridicule if it doesn't pan out. Lincoln have been on an amazing run but it will be interesting to see if they can maintain it for the last 7 or 8...

    Great game that. We had a couple of tournaments with family and friends coming round (this was pre-online gaming for all you younglings).

    Good Friday fixtures

    We've heard that a lot this season. Along with quite a few teams, we're having possibly our worst season when it comes to injuries. This has hampered the team's style quite significantly, but Mousinho has still managed to build an efficient winning machine. We'll have important players Lane and...

    Derby's unexpected defeat at a supposedly "on-the-beach" Cobblers has blown things wide open again. Nothing between them, Bolton, Peterborough and Barnsley now. A massive, potentially pivotal Easter weekend awaits. Peterborough and Barnsley have the easiest Good Friday games, playing Carlisle...

    We've said similar. No negotiations with out-of-contract players until the end of the season. They've admitted doing that to not upset team spirit. The OOC current first teamers are Marlon Pack, Joe Morrell, Sean Raggett, Joe Rafferty, Connor Ogilvie and Zak Swanson. I'd expect the only one we...

    Totally agree with this. 2-game weeks should be a rarity, not the norm. Most clubs have long injury lists by this time in the season, and the vast majority of injuries are stress-related caused by overplaying. It has the effect of greatly reducing the quality of football as the season...

    Sat 23 March fixtures

    You're not alone. We had 14 first teamers out on Saturday at Peterborough. Bolton have quite a few out too I think? Peart-Harris's unexpected international call up has done us a favour. We may get 2 or 3 back before the Easter weekend. Our league position is testament to the exceptional job...

    I'd rather you came up than Peterborough or Barnsley, who seem to yo-yo constantly. That 6th playoff spot is wide open though, with five teams in the running. If Lincoln continue this ridiculous form then they will be a very dangerous team to face.

    I'm assuming you're basing this on all of the two seasons you've spent at this level? Whatever. Can't you stop moaning and just enjoy your likely promotion for once? We certainly are.
