Not sure why we don't have one of these. Probably because it looked like Rotherham and Wigan were going to walk it a while back. However, the great form of MK Dons and Plymouth, plus some faltering form from Rotherham have made it interesting again.
Rotherham have three very winnable games...
Crewe v Pompey
Ipswich v Lincoln
MK Dons v Cheltenham
Plymouth v AFC Wimbledon
Sunderland v Fleetwood
Bolton v Morecambe
Will it be three more points for six teams in the playoff battle (and straight promotion battle for some)? Lincoln's confidence will be high after the weekend, so may get...
Final day of the season proper. The title, plus autos up and down already sorted. Three play-off spots already booked so the one thing remaining is the final play-off place between us, Oxford and Charlton.
We're in pole position, although there is a strong chance of a slip-up at home against...
Most games have survived the international break, happily.
We've got a tough trip to Shrewsbury who have claimed some notable scalps recently. The Shrews' results have been built mainly on a miserly defence. For us, the Cowley's have had a rare full week to prepare and everyone associated...
Grauniad Champ/League 1/League 2 teams
Another subjective end-of-season filler article that will cause a great deal of teeth-gnashing as usual, but for what it's worth:
GK: Adam Davies (Barnsley)
RB: Jack Stacey (Luton)
CB: Ethan Pinnock (Barnsley)
CB: Matt Clarke (Portsmouth)
LB: James Justin...
Really didn't want to be starting this thread today. :eyes:
OK, so there are a few things still to be settled. Black Tuesday has done Donny no favours and so they must now beat Coventry to nail down the final place. Posh can leapfrog them if they win and Donny don't.
There may still be some...
This weekend most of us will be battling for the chance to be humiliated by a bunch of overpaid premier league prima donnas.
Dale away for us on Sunday at 2pm. Will be shown live overseas so the large Rochdale and Pompey fan bases in Macau and Singapore are in for a treat.
About time we had a separate play-off thread I reckon.
Rotherham are the only team at the moment who are pretty much guaranteed to be in the play-offs. The Shrews are still battling away gamely for an auto place, but sadly it's looking like it might just be a bridge too far to best the two big...
Fleetwood have carried on last season's impressive form so another tough one this.
Oliver Hawkins may be back for this one - hopefully he can finally avoid a head injury as he gives us more of a presence up front. Strange 1-3 defeat at Northampton on Tuesday night. We dominated the stats but...
Plenty of new signings involved for us against a seemingly difficult to predict Rovers, who have admittedly faced a tough run of opening fixtures. A scary 5-0 thrashing of Southend in the midst of some 'meh' results.
Difficult one to call so I'm going to sit on the fence and say 1-1.
In the spirit of the times, I thought I'd do my bit towards societal division and conjure up an unnecessary battle between North and South in League One. Drawing a hard geographical line between the northern-most and southern-most teams, it divides up like this (ordered roughly by Northness or...
Plymouth have an outside chance of sealing promotion with a win at our place on Friday. I say 'outside' because Luton would need to somehow not beat the omnishambles that is Leyton Orient. Still, stranger things have happened.
On our side, we just need to keep doing what we're doing. It will...
Six points clear and six games to go with four at home. What could possibly go wrong? We are as much of a sure thing now as a Brexit 'No' vote/Hillary Clinton presidency win double.
The big question for us is who will take on the cursed lone striker role. You'd think that Chaplin would be...
And so, an ex-sc*mmer stands between Pompey and another three promotion-necessary points. He was a poorly treated sc*mmer, but a sc*mmer nevertheless.
Eoin Doyle will be missing with a groin strain. Not exactly sure who will replace him but Conor Chaplin seems likeliest. Christian Burgess is...
So a proposed takeover at Pompey is in the works. The Trust et al are likely to be asked to vote on a takeover by the company run/owned by one Michael Eisner - head of the Walt Disney company between 1984 and 2005.
If nothing else, the half-time entertainment is likely to step up a notch...
Promotion/PlayOff implications flying about all over the place for this one. Stevenage will be looking to halt our three game hot streak (10 goals to nil) and bounce back from a loss at the very-good-on-their-day Blackpool on Tuesday night. Stevenage were previously the form team up to that...
Sadly, our Fans' Player of the Year from last season looks like he's doing mainly bench-warming duties these days. Would be a nice touch if Bignot threw Davies into the team for one last hurrah on the hallowed Fratton turf. Or maybe put him on as a late sub with Pompey already 4 goals to the...
Belated thread this one, and I wouldn't normally bother...... but 4 blimmin nil.... away from home.....16 shots....10 of them on target.....:10:......#ClinicalAllOfASudden :cool:
