    Probably just a bad data feed. Bet if you clicked through to the bookie from there it would not be 14/5.

    I guess it's only natural after such a bad defeat but looking online a lot of Portsmouth fans seem to think they're gone and some want the manager sacked. They still have Oxford and Leicester to play at Fratton Park though, so it's not exactly over for them yet.

    Pompey will need some real character now after that result.  Off the back of some poor recent results, going into an intl break and with only 8 games to turn it around.  Player for player you would say Leicester are the better team out of them, Oxford and Pompey, so I think it’s now between those three for the remaining two spots

    O’Neill at Blackburn a safe pair of hands, and if WBA can pick up a couple more wins, they’ll be confident they can get over the line

    Praying Pompey and Oxford stay up because it makes our lives easier next season but can’t see it happening Blackburn have a decent gap, West Brom look like they’ve clicked, and Leicester’s squad is just too good to go down

    Good that only 1 of the bottom 4 (Leicester) gained on us, at that was only by a point. 

    It seems its now WBA's turn to win a couple of games & move out of the relegation zone, after both Pompey & Oxford did it in recent weeks - although those 2 both lost today thus stalling their escape plans.

    Must be Leicester's turn next. Hopefully by then we will be safe, but after today I will start getting worried if we haven't won another game by the time we come to play Sheff Wed. 

    I'll be happy when we get to 52 points. Ecstatic when we reach 54.

    We are in what I would call the Dead Duck end of the season (nothing to play for) now.


    That said (airing on caution's side) everyone said Portsmouth were safe, now they are only one point from safety with the worst (apart from Sheffield Wednesday oc) goal difference in the league with that 6-1 defeat.

    We’re definitely in danger until we’re not. I’ll rest easy when we’re not. Not before.

    Has any championship side gone down being 9 points clear of the bottom 3 with 7 games to go?

     Would fear for Pompey now. Losing 6-1 to the most Jekyll and Hyde team in the league now makes their Easter fixtures both must wins away at Norwich and at home to Oxford. Think Leicester will squeak clear unless there's another deduction.

    Even if they haven’t yet at some point it’ll happen.

    I don't think people said Pompey were safe, it's more that most of us expected them to be safe, based on how they played at the Valley, and the Den 4 days later, winning both games 3-1.

    A massive shock for them to just get 1 point out of the next 6 games, and to be hammered by an average QPR team today.

    Everyone did not say Pompey were safe.

    I know it was mentioned on Friday night that this time last season Preston were 9 points clear of the drop and only survived by a point in the last day of the season.

    They were only 7 points clear at this stage and they only picked up 3/21 possible points.

    So even if we picked up 1/21 points it would still be the exact same margin Preston still survived with. 

    Bear in mind we also have to play Wednesday who have lost 15 of their last 16 games and I don’t see us losing all our other games and even then were still probably safe. 

    I’m already on the beach thinking bout next season although players shouldn’t be when they’re getting paid 10k a week

    After 39 games played last season, the bottom three were the end of season bottom three.

    Cardiff 22nd -> 24th // +4pts
    Plymouth 24th -> 23rd // +12pts
    Luton 23rd -> 22nd // +11pts
    —
    Hull 21st -> 21st // +8pts
    Preston 14th -> 20th // +3pts
    Derby 20th -> 19th // +9pts
    Stoke 18th -> 18th // +9pts
    Oxford 19th -> 17th // +11pts
    Portsmouth 17th -> 16th // +9pts
    QPR 15th -> 15th // +11pts

    Preston had a horrendous last seven games, drawing 3 and losing 4 and came within a point of going down.
