Real shame Lincoln are winning, all well and good Ipswich etc losing but we need to to catch teams!
Pompey dropped points, Blackpool still need to find a way through against Accrington. Would've been lovely to see Lincoln dropping points but can't have it all in one night...

Same with Oxford but them winning bothers me the least as we can still go six points clear of them

Yeah the pressure now turns on us to win our games in hand
As beat Crewe (the first) and we go level with Portsmouth if the points remain the same
Cliched but i’m liking this take it one game at a time. Ipswich on Saturday is very winnable but it would be typically Charlton to beat Sunderland then follow it up with a poor performance. Having said of all that, i’m worried about Hull on the last game of the season. Really tough fixture and personally i think the idea they will be on the beach is a myth.
Our GD is really going to hurt us......and that's if we can actually catch the teams ahead of us.
And when people say it's not our strike force that has been our problem but our defence just look at the 4 teams immediatly above us. All lost around the same number of matches as us but all have much better goal difference......and as we havent been spanked by anyone in our defeats it must mean that we dont beat teams heavily enough.
Lack of decent (fit) strikers will cost us this season.
Edit. Of the 4 teams above us only Blackpopl have lost less games than us. Oxford have lost 4 more but have scored 7 more.

True, Crewe have done us a favour especially after losing 6 nil on the weekend.
My only concern about not not making the play offs if Oxford go and win their next 5 in a row. Highest place team left is Gillingham for them. That 6-0 win at the weekend would have given them huge belief to think it is in their own hands.
Plenty of football to still be played between now and May.

But then we have to win our last seven games to stand a chance regardless
Thats straight away going to give us a similar GD to those around us and thats on the basis we only win every game 1-0

Same points as us and we have two games in hand though.
Just think what you could gain if when you are in a bad run & have players out due to injuries you can just postpone your next 2 matches, regroup & start again.
Bowyer should have thought about that last January when we had to play Davison & Vennings.

How many games in a row at home did we concede at least 2 goals? It was a ridiculous number. You can't expect to score 2 goals every game just to gain at least a point. The decision to wait for Famewo and Innis to be fit and not try and get someone in could be the one that really bites us.

But why let the truth spoil a good story.
