So... BOLTON

[The Cincinnati Kid]

Derby have sealed their 3pts. 3-0

[RubiconCSL]

I'll happily take that draw

[Mickemo]

1-1 excellent point.

We are extremely difficult to beat, yes we rode our luck but we’ve been on the wrong side of luck this season.

Very very close now!

Guess we would have taken that before the game, shame derby won, onwards and upwards

[Pompski!]

My maths is terrible... I think we need a single point now to guarantee promotion right?

Correct. 1 point for promotion. 2 to be champions.

Yes.

As things stand and according to my shaky math, we need 2 more pts to be Champs and 1 more pt for auto promotion

I think that as it stands with us us drawing we would need 2 points for promotion. That is because of goal difference, with us being plus 2 on Bolton. Should Bolton draw level on points with us you would assume that they would have a better goal difference.

Yes correct.

No wait...hang on....its 1 pt needed. If they win out and we lose all 3 they will be level on points with a better GD so only 1 pt needed for auto promotion (I think)

Yes but if Bolton win all their games and we lose all of ours both clubs would be on 91 points. As it stands we have a 2 goal better goal advantage but if we lose all our games that would, obviously, erode our goal difference. Also it is safe to say that with Bolton winning every game left their goal difference would be enhanced. If we get two more points that puts us out of Bolton's reach at 93 points. Getting three more points would also take us beyond Derby's reach and deliver the League One Championship. So just one win and it's all ours.

Oh to be there Tuesday under the floodlights, if we win wander if crowd will be able to resist a pitch invasion !

Not quite. Bolton can only achieve a maximum of 91 points so 1 point puts us out of their reach. Derby can only achieve a maximum of 92 points so 2 points puts us out of their reach.

Whinging trotter fans going on about us having so many penalty awards this season and how refs are favouring us, they deserve to be in the play offs. Hopefully we won’t see them in the Champs talk about sore losers Derby runners up to deserved champions Pompey, without any favours from refs. Hopefully Oxford United will put them in their place in the play offs.

Yes, you are right. One more point gives us 92 points while Bolton can only achieve 91 points. I stand corrected. I think I have been looking at the table too much and fearing the worst.

It's 93 if Jack Sparkes plays.
