    Pompey have 11 games left; 7 of which are at home.
    How many points will be achieved - and will it be enough to stop the seemingly inevitable slide into League One?

    36 17.03.2012 Bristol City home
    37 20.03.2012 Birmingham City home
    38 24.03.2012 Coventry City away
    39 27.03.2012 Hull City home
    40 31.03.2012 Burnley home
    41 07.04.2012 Southampton away
    42 10.04.2012 Millwall home
    43 14.04.2012 Doncaster Rovers away
    44 17.04.2012 Crystal Palace home
    45 21.04.2012 Derby County home
    46 28.04.2012 Nottingham Forest away

    Well I am glad you only have to play Birmingham and Hull out of the other top sides.
    Didn't want to many sides besides us having easy points.

    I think the crunch is hat you have to play all your main rivals away!

    I have already accepted relegation. I am also doubt we will be the most competetive in League 1. I am not a defeatist but it must be clear to all now that relegation and retrenchment is our only hope of survival. However, survival also requires even more players to leave to bring in additional revenue that can see us through the summer and into next season. We have to accept that we will be using youth and league 1/2 players for the next few seasons. It also requires some altruism from some of the remaining senior players such as TBH and Kitson which is the main stumbling block.

    We are on a knife edge and will remain so for the forseeable future.

    we are staying up, say we are staying up!

    36 17.03.2012 Bristol City home - WIN
    37 20.03.2012 Birmingham City home - LOSE
    38 24.03.2012 Coventry City away - WIN
    39 27.03.2012 Hull City home - DRAW
    40 31.03.2012 Burnley home - DRAW
    41 07.04.2012 Southampton away - LOSE
    42 10.04.2012 Millwall home - WIN
    43 14.04.2012 Doncaster Rovers away - DRAW
    44 17.04.2012 Crystal Palace home - DRAW
    45 21.04.2012 Derby County home - LOSE
    46 28.04.2012 Nottingham Forest away - WIN

    16 points... I wonder if that is enough to stay up (with us already being 8 points from safety)?

    A win against Bristol takes that to 5 points... It's a MASSIVE mountain to climb, but we are Pompey, WE WILL NEVER DIE! <ok>

    Thought you looked ok yesterday and that Brighton got a few rubs of the green. Problem is just which players will you have left :(.

    You can't predict any of these games, because at the start of every new week, we've lost another player.
    No stability - no hope.
    Fans were tremendous yesterday. compare Poyet (rabid animal) and Appleton (calm, dignified) I know who i'd rather have as manager. PUP

    You seem pretty ebullient today Jake! Are you on holiday, or did you win the lottery?!

    I think we may get 11 - anything above that would be outstanding - as has been highlighted though every week we lose a player it just means we are shuffling a pack and hoping for something - not at all ideal - if all this ****e hadn't happened I saw a mid-table finish now my head says relegation my heart says keep going till rhe end you never know.
