    Is that Pompey just about gone now?

    Still 8 points adrift from 4th from bottom, another game gone and a game gone that was against the team they needed to catch. Has to be just about it doesn't it? Next game up, Birmingham. Then us.

    We may be the worst away team ever

    But .... maybe we can take a little heart from these facts gleaned from the Beeb sports website. 'Bristol City have failed to win eight of their last nine, and have lost the last five on the road without scoring a single goal. They have the second weakest defence in the division, and are...

    Pompey v Bristol

    This Saturday. Absolutely massive. Pompey have to win. Bristol win that and Pompey will be 11 points behind them. Forest are 9 points clear. Was thinking a Pompey win would be great as we need to catch Bristol. Now not so sure, and am thinking a draw would be best for us. The one thing...

    Doncaster a big concern?

    Now unbeaten in 5. :( For anyone who believes we can survive this has to be a real worry surely. We only dream of a 5 game unbeaten run. Best we have managed is 3 ......... back in August of last year. :(

    Doncaster v Reading, Forest v Derby Tuesday night

    Tuesday. We need results to go our way. If these two were both to somehow win we'd be in even more deep shit than we are now. If that's possible. Then ...... Saturday we have; Donny v Derby Derby on poor run so a big worry for us that Doncaster could well get something from this...

    Christie at right midfield?

    Baker didn't look too bright when he came off. If injured for next week and Bell is still out I can't see we have many options at all. Thomas. Nimely pushed wide, Christie. Can't see you can play Deegan, Clingan or Norwood there. Thought Thomas was dreadful today. Eakin described him as...

    Positives

    1. We didn't lose to a very strong team and put in a decent effort today. 2. Baker was excellent. Got to be the first time in his Sky Blue career that he has put in two very good performances in a row. 3. Two matches unbeaten. 4. Home form continues to be good.

    Young player of the year

    Has to be out of Connor Thomas and Cyrus Christie doesn't it? Bigi has been out of the picture now for quite a while and Jordan Clarke has only just come back. Other players haven't played enough at all (Ruffles, Cameron, Willis etc.)

    How did that Prince song go? I wanna party like it's 1985?

    Would be good if this season could be another 1985. Been checking back through the records and found that in 1985 Middlesborough stayed up in 4th from bottom place on 40 points. 3rd from bottom Notts County 37 pts 2nd from bottom Cardiff 35 pts Bottom Wolves 33 pts. Long time ago, but I...

    What the hell was going on with that penalty?

    Seems like we were complaining that it either wasn't a foul or that it was outside the box. Well it was clearly a foul and was quite clearly inside the box. Completely baffled as to why our players were protesting so much.

    Well I think that's just about it for us

    In view of the other results, this was a match we had to win. I think we are doomed and it is all but over. Yes I know people will point to still being just 3 points behind but I think that is a bit of a smokescreen. 1. Don't forget, nearly everyone on here was saying the Palace game was a...
