    That's 16 points from a possible 18. Get 3 points on Tuesday, then enjoy the distraction of the cup.

    Business end of the season now. Sorting the men out from the boys...squeaky bum time as someone once said.

    Good professional performance second half. Kept possession well, good subs. 3 points the main thing, on we go.

    But surely once we pick up performances we'll take teams to the cleaners.

    I’d have taken a home win and defeats for Peterborough, Portsmouth & Ipswich beforehand

    We weren’t at our best, but another good day

    Great to bag snother win. Hope we're saving better performances and goals in the bank for pompey away and the rest.

    Tuesday is massive at Pompey, with Posh hosting Hull, Lincoln at Ipswich & Donny at Crewe.

    Another clean sheet for Burge despite some seriously dodgy defending ...

    ... just leave him there and let him settle.

    I think winning the 2 home games has taken a bit pressure off. I would settle for 1 point now but the way they imploded today suggests they do have Wembley on their minds or they have stopped playing for the manager.

    Jackett has failed to get them up three times and is looking poor again ...

    ... he's leaving in the summer and their team will disintegrate.

    We should be looking to see if there's anyone we should buy.

    They were our rivals for a while but we'll look back on them and laugh.

    Yeah - made some good saves today.

    Younger played well - not sure why he went off. I'm sure he would be fine at Left Back too.

    Burge has done well to get his confidence back. Big save again today.

    As for the defence
    Sanderson is class. Onien has done wonders standing in

    Don't know what McFadzean is but he's not a footballer

    If we can get Wright back playing with Sanderson. Thats the perfect pairing for me
    Free up Onien to play in midfield.

    Been quite a while since anyone's suggested otherwise to be fair.

    I hate to say this but I don't like Power ...

    ... he isn't good enough to be a captain and bollocking the likes of Jones and Sanderson.

    It is strange why he hasnt tried somebody else at LB. Having said that Denver, then Flanagan. McFads 3rd choice. Who else can we put there?

    Hull playing Peterborough on Tuesday
    so a win at Portsmouth would be massive.

    they will have a massive job squeezing those extra games in. they also tricky gsmes coming up, so will hopefully drop several points by April at Crewe, Gillingham, Oxford & MK Dons.
