    Living on the Isle of Wight, surrounded by Pompey fans, I would love to avoid them in any playoff game as the stick I would get would be unbearable if we lost .... So a 4th place finish for me and someone else knock Pompey out in the 2 legs :-)

    Great to great to see the draw and pens at Wembley today. That should help take it out of Pompey and Sunderland, for next games. I'm hoping that we can pinch third spot and pay out on my each way bets to win the leauge. 
    Hopefully it means Sunderland won’t have much confidence going into the penalty shootout against us in the play off final😉

    That's what's worrying me. They are the one team I don't want to face IF we get to Wembley - they can't lose three Wembley finals on the trot, surely?
    They just have! they lost in the 2014 league cup final to Man City 3-1. Not a very lucky ground for them.
    Sorry didn't see @JessieAddick post above mine.

    If we finish 4th we'd likely still play Portsmouth

    think the easiest game will be whoever finishes 3rd as ultimately they will of come up short

    Actually they have six consecutive defeats at Wembley according to this article:
    https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/17527695.sunderlands-previous-appearances-at-wembley/

    Guess they're cursed at that stadium and I'd like us to play them if we get to the final. :D
    Ignoring war time matches, I'm not sure we've even played 6 matches at Wembley!

    The 1946 and 1947 cup finals, 40 years to the Full Members final in 1987, then 11 years to the 1998 playoff final, which was 21 years ago...

    Watching yesterday's penalty shootout convinced me we would get hammered in that situation. 
    If we are going up it won't be via a penalty shootout.

    Taylor
    Cullen
    Bielik
    Solly
    Aribo

    I’d fancy them five to do the bizzo.

    Was thinking this yesterday. It'd be fosu with the fifth pen and he'd dink it down the middle, keeper easily keeping it out. Hope we our midfield can find their shooting boots before the playoffs

    Sarr instead of Solly and it’s a decent 5.

    Just to point out the crucial date... April 30th...

    Portsmouth v Peterborough United
    Fleetwood Town v Sunderland

    Those are the outstanding games those two have on us; will be four days prior to the last day of the season

    I know it’s not TECHNICALLY the game in hand but Sunderland and Portsmouth still have to play each other which negates the games in hand that they have, to a degree.

    Judging the table now you’d have to say we want a Pompey win but that could be totally different by the time we get to that game.

    We’ve closed the gap to four, if Sunderland win that extra game then a seven point gap is just too big to overcome.

    Next four look tough for Sunderland. Can’t see them winning all of them... Pompey also have a couple of tough games to play.

    Barnsley could well win all five of their games. We’ve got to hope they drop a couple of those, we need three wins max out of five to catch them.

    Nah he probably meant Taylor v Rochdale

    After all we got a point from Peterborough still; that miss against Rochdale cost us getting anything

    October fucked us more (total of four points compared to the five we got in February)

    Threw away leads against Scunthorpe and Coventry and had that mare of a game at Rochdale which included a missed penalty

    Barnsley have been dropping points, my prediction is they'll finish 5th

    Our relatively poor Goal Difference might cause us some problems.
