    Seems to think 6 points will be enough and have us 1 point clear of scunny
    I have exactly the same, fingers crossed
  • Scunthorpe for some reason don't worry me as much as maybe they should reason being is take last saturday out the equation they hadn't won in 11.

    Walsall fighting for their lives and will be tough and I can see then get something

    Just hope that their win against us hasnt given them the confidence to go on a run - Also have to hope that their knackered after their closing down of our players last week as they covered every blade of grass

    Their win against us on Saturday was a real nuisance - a draw would have been fine after yesterday's result.
  • having seen us play Northampton i cannot see Plymouth losing to them, that was a massive blow to Pompey last night, its a winnable game on Saturday just have to put a shift in.

    correct me if im wrong but sure the play off dates are;

    finish 5th Rotherham H 12th May A 16th May ( Wednesday )
    finish 6th Shrewsbury H 10th May A 13th May ( Sunday )

    Unless something has changed they haven't decided which of the dates is 5th v 4th and 6th v 2nd ie awaiting to see who is in it before confirming.
  • At the moment its 12th May | 16th May for Semi-Final (A) and 10th May | 13th May for Semi-Final (B)

    Unless (A) means 3rd v 6th and (B) means 4th v 5th

    Most teams that have had a bad run, play us, eat us and then go right back to their bad run. I hope that's the case again!

    It is really hard to predict, it feels like someone is going to falter in a match they should win and it might be our saving grace, providing we do our bit, which, of course worries me the most.

    That was us, last night against Bradford...

  • I've given up trying to predict the outcome of this... previous form means nothing at this stage, just a question of who has the most bottle and, of course, who gets the most LUCK! Yes, we are capable of winning every game but we are also capable of wining none.
    A fit Kashi, Fosu and Mavididi is a bonus, one that we MUST take advantage of.

    Through my contacts at the EFL I am able to reveal the results affecting promotion, showing how Charlton will manage it. I am no IT buff so I hope it is clear enough. Click on the image to enlarge it.

    Not sure you've got that right! In the game between Scunthorpe and Plymouth you have down that Scunthorpe gained a point and Plymouth gained 0!

    Edit: I think I've been trolled, Rotherham aren't even in the table

    That's quite a capitulation from Rotherham. Not even in top 8?

    And they are 10 points above pompy with 3 games to play.


    Maybe the contacts at the EFL that @Aethelstan has have a points deduction heading rotherhams way haha :wink:
  • I have

    5 Plymouth 75 points
    6 Scunthorpe 70 points (+11)
    ---
    7 Charlton 70 points (+8)
    8 Portsmouth 68 points
    9 Peterborough 65 points

    Had us to draw Pompey and Blackburn and beat Rochdale. Put Scunthorpe down to beat Walsall but draw with MK, Plymouth and Bradford.

    I take it we are all Blackburn fans tonight? Blackburn at home to Peterborough.
  • I take it we are all Blackburn fans tonight? Blackburn at home to Peterborough.

    Absolutely. Want Peterborough out of the play off race and also want Blackburn promoted before they come to the Valley

    Promoted with no chance of being champions. Just don’t lose!

    Are your contacts at the EFL going to disqualify Rotherham who seem to be missing from your final top of the table?
  • The Charlton see-saw in full swing.

    We're superb,we're Going to win the playoffs ?
    We're shite, season over ?

    Climb aboard CL members,
    You can go in the middle.

    Since the first game of season, I thought we would finish 7th on goal difference, because of the lack of a poacher and not enough clean sheets.(plus injuries to key players)

    Pompey is our cup final ?

    That's a worry because we're rubbish in the cup.

    Not sure both are possible unless you have two wins for Wigan, two draws for Blackburn and two losses for Shrewsbury for their next two games each.

    To be fair, last season was the first time that I remember there being a clash with Premier League games

    SKY do usually put a lot of emphasis on the Play-Offs - What I don't get though is why the (B) Semi-Finals end three days after the (A) Semi-Final, kinda gives the first Finalists a bit of extra prep time

    Although I guess the first League Two Semi-Final wont be televised as its at 3pm on a Saturday
  • preference would be a as i can get to the game on the 13th be it home or away.
  • Would definitely prefer to be in the (B) Semi-Finals

    Hate Weekend and Bank Holiday games that are the day before work (i.e. Gillingham this season and Rotherham are examples of that), and a 5:15pm game on the Sunday sounds shite, although would expect us to be away for that one actually.
  • I wonder if Sky will do a playoff special ticket.

  • Away game on a Sunday afternoon is easier (work wise, maybe not trains etc) than a Wednesday night.
