They are all massive games at this stage. Have to take it one game at a time like how the old cliche goes. Not losing and picking up points (whether 1 or 3) has to be the goal. Most of the games against key promotion rivals are at home. So we have to make that count. We need the fans to show up and support the team vocally and be the difference.Shaping up to be a massive game. Both teams in form and I think they are now one of the teams to beat in this division. I think this could be a season-defining game to be honest.
Yeah I live down south so I have lots of Pompey mates and I do find Portsmouth fans a little annoying for some reason would love us to teach them a lesson! Hopefully the fans can show up in numbers despite it’s a Tuesday nightYep.
My parents, Pompey season ticket holders and usually two of the most pessimistic fans you could care to meet, described today’s win against Sunderland as “almost embarrassing”. My dad said 2-0 flattered Sunderland and that it could/should have been 5 or 6.
Having said that, they’ll be worried by us.
It’s a bit of a cliche to say that they’re all big games from here on in, but for me this is the biggest.
I’ll settle for a draw and that we both end up filling the auto places...just to keep the peace. Really I want us to fucking destroy the southern twats!
Tbf due to my old man taking me to Pompey games as a kid, and that I lived there for a while, they’re my ‘second team’. Interestingly this has no bearing on how much I want them to lose when they play us. If anything this feeling is intensified!Yeah I live down south so I have lots of Pompey mates and I do find Portsmouth fans a little annoying for some reason would love us to teach them a lesson!

In all fairness Pompey have a good loud following which would make it sweeter if we beat themTbf due to my old man taking me to Pompey games as a kid, and that I lived there for a while, they’re my ‘second team’.

As an aside, I first learnt the old man’s real allegiances when cov got Pompey relegated from the old first division. I cheered cov’s goal at HR, a penalty, which was swiftly greeted by the old man yanking my arm and telling me to “sit the fuck down”.
Pompey twat!
And it’ll annoy my parents...win, win!In all fairness Pompey have a good loud following which would make it sweeter if we beat them
Can you really say that any one game from now on in is season defining?And it’ll annoy my parents...win, win!
I don’t know. Often these things are best assessed with the benefit of hindsight.Can you really say that any one game from now on in is season defining?
Yep...they’re all big games from here on in. And Rotherham have destroyed us once this year already. Seems we have them, then Sunderland, then Ipswich. 3 tough games on the bounce.I think you're all counting Rotherham out far too easily
I disagree. I think our strategy should be to lose about half of our games.Not losing and picking up points (whether 1 or 3) has to be the goal.
Wonder if they’ll come in big numbers. I wonder if we’ll hit 10000 in a few games between now and end of the season
And it’ll annoy my parents...win, win!
Just avoid defeat and its a good resultShaping up to be a massive game. Both teams in form and I think they are now one of the teams to beat in this division. I think this could be a season-defining game to be honest.
They travel well. Took about 1,500 to Lincoln last Tuesday night.Wonder if they’ll come in big numbers. I wonder if we’ll hit 10000 in a few games between now and end of the season
Fairly standard I’m afraid. I was born in cov and lived there until I was 18.Interested to know why you support City, and your parents support Pompey.
Because it is... if we win it, it will give the team so much confidence before they go into their season defining game against RotherhamCan you really say that any one game from now on in is season defining?
Yes.Can you really say that any one game from now on in is season defining?
Not sure if you at the game or not mate but the score line flattered them a bit on the day. It really was a bad day at the office for us and we were the masters of our own downfall with the mistakes we made and gifted them 3 goals.Yep...they’re all big games from here on in.

Yeah, I didn’t go so happy to be corrected. I do now Remember people saying it was ‘one of those games’. At risk of pointing out the blindingly obvious, We’ve been really good this year.Not sure if you at the game or not mate but the score line flattered them a bit on the day.

Although not often a team wins 10 on the bouncePompey have won 8 on the bounce - Tranmere next so a big possibility they’ll be coming here looking to make it 10 so should be a cracking game

That's why they are called 6 pointers! Our re arranged game vs Rotherham is a 6 pointer as well as the Wycombe game! win those not only do we gain points but also keep the game in hand on them.We make a game up on Rotherham when we play Pompey (they should have been vs Bury). Will make a win an even bigger result.
...just to add. Both Pompey and Rotherham are strong physically, not our best type of opponent tbf, so we need our strongest attacking team and press high. We are better than both of them going forward. Interesting stuff.
