    After the Robinson debacle of the last few weeks months the players have been able to go out under Bowyer and Jackson without too much pressure and expectation.

    If we continue on a good run pressure will build and how our players (and inexperienced management) are able to handle that will be key.

    The big positive is that, as things stand, top six is in our own hands.

    An unexpected Walsall win today would do nicely
  • We will finish 4th and go up

    Shows how crap this league is, we could have easily took 9 points from Blackpool, Fleetwood and Doncaster and be comfortably in the play offs. Instead we fluffed it and are still imo the favourites for the 5th slot.

    Wigan win the league, Rovers second.

    play offs: Shrewsbury, Rotherham, Us and Plymouth. Some season for The Salops, most people wouldn't have been surprised to see their position swapped with a side like MK Dons

    If it was that 4...Us,Shrewsbury,Rotherham and Plymouth, i could only see Plymouth and us selling all of our 35k tickets, how many would Rotherham and Shrewsbury take?

    Even with only 8 games to go its far too early to say. We have 6-pointers against 3 teams currently vying for the play-offs & so not until after the Pompey game will I be able to think about the permutations.

    I just had a quick glance at Walsall v Portsmouth playing right now.

    After 24 minutes it's 0-0 ..... but Walsall with 56% possession, haven't yet had a shot or a corner.

    And we thought Karl Robinson had gone to Oxford.

    For all their pressure, Pompey at last go ahead in the 79th minute.
    As it stands, Pompey now level points with us.

    We didn't really want that.

    Ahead of Pompey now, due to our better gd after the 4 goals yesterday

    The pathetic away defeat (and the 3 goal deficit) at Peterborough is looking more & more critical now. Even a point there would have made things look a lot better.

    I hate KR !!!!

    If it was that 4...Us,Shrewsbury,Rotherham and Plymouth, i could only see Plymouth and us selling all of our 35k tickets, how many would Rotherham and Shrewsbury take?

    We wouldn't sell our allocation.

    Did we sell out in 1998? The Sunderland fans didn't think so.

    Yes and No.

    We sold out but groups of Sunderland fans were in our end.

    If I recall correctly, they were given more tickets. We sold all of ours I'm pretty sure and we could have sold more.

    What a day that was. Birth of my son, my wedding and that in the top three moments of my life.
