It’s easy to look at the last 3 games and say we’ve not played well, which is true. However, these teams play low blocks and try to hit us on the counter and can be difficult to break down. At least in these next 3 games, the games should be more open to create better chances. With Pompey...

That only works when games are sell outs and most of our games went to general sale. It only works when you’re selling when demand exceeds the supply. Given that we haven’t sold out every away game, the demand hasn’t always been there so no idea how this cabal of elite members are selling...

16 points is very doable but I don’t think we’ll need that many. The league is trending downwards from last season. We’re 1 point worse-off from 23/24 but our league position is better. A win at the weekend will mean that we’ll be unlikely to fall out of the playoffs before the Burnley game...

There’s obviously mitigating factors, how many points were we off playoffs in the end? 9? We all just need to relax and take a breath. We’re not going to win every single game and the important thing now is getting back in the points this weekend.

Piss take. It’s going to be a very late night!

Why do you think that? We’re in a better league position now than we were back then. On game day 37, we drew to a bottom of the table Wigan Athletic and we were 9th place. Our record from there wasn’t the most spectacular, 4-4-1 (W-D-L). That was 16 points to hit 70 points and we need 14 to...

It’s one game, so I’m happy to give the BOD. I wonder what the reaction on this site was after Stoke battered us 4-0 back in 22/23?

We have wrested the initiative at the perfect time in my view. The teams around us have more or less ebbed and flowed in and around where they’ve currently been. We’ve got key players (still) returning from injury and you’d think this should take us up a gear. Taking this next game coming up...

I’m pretty relaxed about it all and don’t think we’ll lose the next 3 games anyway and feel that we’ve got one big performance in us (at least), I’ll stick my neck out and predict us to get 4 points. Again, if we get through those games and we’re in the playoffs still, we’ve got relatively...

This is overdoing it. WBA are playing most our playoff rivals and they can’t simultaneously win and lose to give them a buffer on us OR lose to allow Bristol and/or Norwich the chance to gain on us. We probably need 12-14 points from the remaining 9 games to get 6th.

You get it. There’s a reason the bookies still have us 5th favourites for promotion. Compared to our rivals, we have an ‘easier’ run in. Bar Sheff U away, all our hardest games are at home which is what you want rather than having to go to Sunderland, Burnley, WBA and Boro away. Barring WBA...

With the mix of games we’ve got and who the teams in and around us have, 12 points should put us in a strong position. The teams around us have got a lot of games against one another e.g. Bristol v Norwich, Sheff W v Sheff U. After the international break: Norwich v WBA, Burnley v Bristol. So...

Derby was one of the those games that I felt we would’ve battered them had scored first. We played some really good stuff before conceding a sloppy set piece goal and to use a ‘technical term’, it all went to shit.

We’ve slipped on the banana skin and we’re no longer burdened by sustaining a fantastic run. So I think we’ll make tweaks and win against Sunderland. They really weren’t all that against us back in November.

Which shows that the numbers were dipping leading up to and including the change in formation to 5-3-2 i.e. the team without Sakamoto, EMC and now Rudoni.

The results were all the same weren’t they? All wins. We often did it ugly against Sheff Wednesday, QPR and Blackburn. In that run of games, we probably should’ve drew 3 or 4 games and with statistics, they usually level out over time. During this run, we’ve stacked the odds in our favour by...

Luton and Plymouth will probably beat that points requirement if we’re in the playoffs.

I’ve only seen Derby’s second goal live and the posts obstructed my view, have you seen anything conclusive on social media (or Sky) which shows the ball out of play?

Why can’t we just accept it when it’s just a bad game? It was just one of those nights for us. You’re asking me for metrics on a players who’s played 20 minutes for us. Why do I like it? He’s on short term contract, with presumably low wages and he’s a proven Championship player, so it’s...

Given how games make general sale, this simply isn’t the case on the scale you’re suggesting. Is it true for Luton and Plymouth away and other sell out games, probably. It doesn’t take that long to build your points either, I only started doing away consistently for over a year now and even...
