No way on god's earth that Donny will win all 4 of their game left and Pompey are now 9 points adrift with 4 games left, so they would pretty much have to win all theirs too.
I was in hope beforre tonight that with Millwall still to play we could catch them, but now I think realistically its us or Bristol and makes yesterday's result appear so much worse. Its a massive football cliche but we really cant look too far ahead and must take this one game at a time. All we can do is focus on putting everything into Saturday and make every game a cup final until our fate is sealed one way or the other.
The equation is simple-We need 4 points more than Bristol. Unlikely, but still possible.
The annoying thing is that if we had beaten Bristol we could be safe with 46 points. We lost so now we will need around 48-49 points. Needing 3 wins and a draw from our next 4 says we are fucked, but if Bristol were to lose a few then we could still do it. Bristol did themselves a huge favour beating Forest and us, whereas we lost to Forest and Bristol and thats what has really put the nail in the coffin.
Still, I reckon the youth team will do well in league 1
