AS WE WERE

[Upton Rover]

Nothing changed it top two today dispite we had 3 key players out and in the past 2 Games we sure have missed Coops Its nailed on that we will be crowned champions on our last home game this would round off a great season.

[andysly]

Not quite as we were.
6 points clear, effectively 7 with GD is a lot better with only 4 games left rather than 5.

Another good day for us.

Yes true that.

To go ahead, they have to win the next 3, whilst we have to lose them. Highly unlikely, but still possible.

Hopefully, we can get past a 'bogey' side, in Blackpool.

I hope we have no serious injuries and Copps is available again. Why no Williams today?

[Bristol Red Rover]

Wins for them and losses for us could easily give them an advantage on  goal difference.

To play, home in bold, we have:
Blackpool Wycombe Exeter Hartlepool

They have:
Newport Colchester Crewe Grimsby

All those games could go any way, though I'd say they have the better run in. It's likely one win and no heavy defeats would be all we need.

Copps and Williams both out for the season injured.

I can see Plymouth getting 8 pts from their remaining games. Though I admit I always think other teams will do better than they probably will! So 2 points should be sufficient for us to win the league.

Of course it's all ifs, buts and maybes!

[ballysbackin]

I will take us needing 12 points and not worry about anybody else

Easily?   A 16 goal turnaround!!!!!    Really.... what would you consider tough?

Right you are, it's unlikely! I was seeing it as an 11 goal difference

[Mac the hooped man]

But that would put us 18pts ahead?   When mouth can only win 12 more points...

6 points mathematically guarantees us the title.  One win should do it in reality tho....

[ballysbackin]

I know that perfectly.. Do what we do ourselves and it does not matter what anyone else does. WE then certain to take title. OR just do whatever Plymouth do and still win it.

[ravenrover]

I don't know why but it's Portsmouth I feel more worried about,
Notts County a
Cambridge h
Mansfield a
Cheltenham h
Could they win all of those?
I'll sleep easy when we get that 1 win  we need

[deebee]

Portsmouth are 10 points behind us with only 12 to play for. Not worried about them at all.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Form is out of the window now. Each remaining game is a cup final. Anyone is capable of a 4 game winning streak or losing streak.

I think that's what upset DF most yesterday in the first half was the lack of collective desire to want that title. We can't afford to wait until the next game.

We have to win it, not wait for others to lose it!

[Alan Southstand]

On paper, there is only 1 easy game in those 4 for Pompey. Nerves makes more of a level playing field for each of the top 3. It really comes down to who wants it the most.

[Mac the hooped man]

Well. Maybe you could phrase it differently from saying we need 12 points then old boy.    When 7 will actually do it..

No chance they are catching us, we are going to at least pick up 3 points.

Three will be enough.

Completely agree,  7 for mathematically,  3 in reality...

[Upton Rover]

Big win against Blackpool will just about seal it. But said it won't be confirmed till last home game against Exeter then we can all celebrate and not have to worry about getting tickets against the Pool

[RedJ]

May as well start the "meltdown over pitch invasion" thread now then.

[idler]

You can't start the meltdown now RedJ.
It needs to b spontaneous doesn't it? 😉

I have got my Hartlepool ticket, to see our last L2 fixture for years to come.

[LincsRover]

 

Me too! 

[karldew]

I'm hoping we win the title at Hartlepool! 3 point gap to Plymouth with a superior goal difference...

[andysly]

We will win the title at Wycombe, we've had enough last day, last minute dramas for this decade. 

[drfchound]

Not me, I am hoping we beat Blackpool and Newport beat Plymouth then it is virtually done.
