Indeed, although looking at their next two fixtures, I don't give Bristol City much hope against Birmingham (A) or West Ham (H). So fingers crossed that Coventry don't take advantage of that.
or.... we win the league at Middlesborough and all wear sky blue shirts to the cov game to keep them up and send Pompey down
And with that, an 11 points target becomes an 8 points target. Well done Saints. And who knows, that 8 points could be reduced even further today, should West Ham slip up over the next two hours.
and anyone clock how important a goal at Hull for us???? Hull late goal to go 2-1 up.... this keeps them in the mix for the play-offs (we need that as they have hammers on last day) and keeps Boro out of it and with another loss or two, could be out of it before we play them in the second to last game.... ... love it. Come on Brum.
2-0 FT. I think we'd have all settled for that! 3 more wins and we're up, no matter what happens to Reading and West Ham.
Have a feeling that someone is going to get the honour of pounding in that final nail before we face Coventry. Even playing solely against teams in the bottom half, I cannot see Pompey taking 10+ points over five games.
Nigel Adkins: Spot on with the team selection Spot on tactically Spot on with the substitutions (and i was proved right with all three. smug )
Think I've entered a time slip...they have just announced on Sky that we have beaten Reading. Bring it on!
Yes, if they were to lose, the maximum they could get would be 87 points, so with our GD we would only need a win and 2 draws!
