Pompey could well be the trump card. Even with their points deduction, they've got winnable games and aren't on a bad run at the moment. Mind you, if we'd taken our chances, Pompey would have been a mere irrelevance now.
Then again, Southampton looking for revenge on their arch-rivals? Now what would the Mackems make of that if it kept us up!?
Very difficult to see Brizzle dropping points against Barnsley to be honest-Barnsley are looking in terrible form and should be easy pickings. I see Saturday petering out into a goalless draw and a comfortable defeat at Saints the week after-ever the optimist
To be honest, for what it's worth, I can see Barnsley getting a point at Bristol.
You remember how difficult they were to break down when we had them up here at the Ricoh? Now they are safe maybe they will do what Peterborough did to us.
He would also be hoping that, that would be the green light for the club to overspend wildly on players again next season knowing that any implosion would occur maybe 2 years down the line.
He can then moan again in two years time about how harshly treated they've been after they've been deducted 10 points yet again and just given a severe slap on the wrist, with the authorities feeling sorry for them once again.
We won't hear the end of it regardless of whether they stay up or not. It'll either be 'winning against all the odds' or 'the Football League are to blame'.
Isn't akin to a shoplifter complaining when caught for stealing bars of chocolate that all the stuff on display was close to the doors and it was therefore the shops fault for creating the temptation.
