Whilst i wish it was true it isn't. They now have 2 games in hand on us. That doesn't equate to having to play Sat/Tuesday/Sat until the end of the season.Jack_Tinn wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 12:11 pm Bolton have a run of difficult away games and fixture congestion. I believe they are going to have to play Sat-Tue-Sat every week now until the end of the season. Pompey have to go to Bolton yet and Bolton have to play at Derby and they finish the season at Peterborough.
Top of the League.

Re: Top of the League.
Still 7 clear and our two closest rivals, before kick off tonight, have one fewer games in hand.
I am taking nothing for granted, and this post was started after only 9 games, but, hey, we are still 'Top of the League!'
Enjoy!!!!!!

Re: Top of the League.
Last night means we can't be caught by 4 points. There are probably more complicated fixture maths but I can't work it out, however I read we need 6 more wins to go up after the Charlton game.
Super Matt Macey in goal...

Re: Top of the League.
So as part of this thread, let's rule out the teams that cannot, or without s freakish set of results won't, finish above us until there is only 1, or none remaining.
I'll start by ruling out all those below Blackpool.

Re: Top of the League.
Another three points maintaining the gap between the other teams below us. Won more games, conceded fewest goals and still Top of the League

Re: Top of the League.
Still top of the pile but we do have some mighty difficult games coming up. If offered 15 points from our last 10 matches, I'd take them for sure. The chasing pack will drop points and there are a fair number of teams in the top 8 facing each other in the run in so hopefully a points haul of 90+ will be good enough to see us promoted.

Re: Top of the League.
So we continue, no side in the top seven have beaten us, we still have to play four of them. Two at home two away Barnsley are the biggest threat they have the equal best (with us) away record but have lost 5 games at home and only one away. However we have the best home record, their only away defeat was at Derby. It is about what happens on the day. Will be happy with a point at Blackpool next saturday!

Re: Top of the League.
not bad for a bunch of second rate league 2 players, with an unconvincing rookie manager, as someone on here said once, "this squad will never get us promoted...FACT"BlueinPLtwenty wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 8:27 am 7 points clear from Derby & Bolton (now have only one game in hand).

I am particularly impressed with the fewest goals conceded, to manage that with apparently 2 of the biggest donkeys in the league playing in the back 4, its quite miraculous really
all tongue in cheek before anyone takes offence
