I won't be melting down if we don't though. Still many twists and turns after tomorrow.

Have received a couple of texts from my Blues supporting mates, informing me of their promotion back to the Championship (like I give a fuck).

Tell your Blues supporting mates, Cov got promoted from the same league without spending hardly any money.

Gutted Bristol scored. They are on fire

Still even if we lose tomorrow we are bang in it

But winning will be huge.

I'd say Norwich are done now but worried a lil about Millwall and Watford sneaking in outta nowhere

Playing Portsmouth at home is better than being a club that hopes we lose at home to Portsmouth. That will mean realistically a 3 horse race for two places as far as we're concerned. 2 points above 7th and 5 points above 8th with 5 games to go. Last game at home to the side in 7th.

If we fail now it would be our own fault.

Yeah, exactly. Not sure where that deduction has come from.

We have a massive opportunity tonight to make it very tough for West Brom in the run-in.

5 points behind with just 5 games to go, could prove to be a bridge too far for the Baggies.

Why not? Getting a win tomorrow v Pompey puts us back in the top 6 with games v Hull, WBA, Plymouth, Luton and Boro. There’s an easily 4 wins in this block of games.

Bristol City have won 4 games away all season and have to play Leeds away. I don’t think they’ll go the distance. Same with Boro, some tough games to play too and their form can be streaky and they will not want to come away to us needing a win to finish in the Top 6.

This is why I love the Championship… so much still alive for so many teams. It’s an odd feeling knowing that the chase is the great bit. If we get there it’s going to be shite!!! The ultimate prize for the winner will heap misery on the supporters of whichever club it is.

As long as we win tonight Millwall and Watford would need a near miracle to overhaul us (5 and 6 points behind with 5 to play). IF they caught us we won't be near the play-offs anyway as Boro and Bristol will be out of sight.

In fairness, that FK from Hamer put us on the back foot. Can’t do nothing about that but Sheff U are not a team you can concede the first goal against, nor Burnley!

Yeah it was pretty even until Hamer's FK and we had most of the ball - admittedly without creating a great deal, but we were matching them.

It was poor after the goal though.

70 points now looks enough if we win the last game, so that means 8 points from the next 5 is the minimum requirement to take it that far

Middlesbrough could then only make 72 if they lost the last game v us
WBA Millwall could only make 72
Im sure they will all lose at least 1 game before then

Millwall play middlesbrough on Saturday, so cant both win - a draw would take their possibles down to 70
Millwall finish at Burnley
Bristol C still have sunderland and leeds but would now expect them to get to 72/73

Really need a win tonight though to be tight with Bristol and a gap from the others

Tonight is a ‘must win’ game. Not least to shut my parents up. They’ve already started with the whole “oh we’ve got no chance of winning/Cov have much better players/your team is much better than Pompey/we’ll do well to keep the score down” etc etc etc. When I point out they said exactly the same last time we played…”ah yeah but this is away from home…” etc etc etc.

Fuck off! Stop talking shit at me!

Exactly this.

A year or so ago my mum had a knee replacement op. I went and spent a week in Pompey with the idea of helping them both out around the place.
Now, I was brought up in Cov, so they live in a house in Pompey which I have very little connection with. About halfway through the week, one afternoon, I couldn’t cope anymore so went to my room!

Such a weird part of the season where teams at the bottom start to go on play off form out of nowhere... not a lot of reds for those teams at the bottom in the last 5, way more in the middling part of the league. Don't think our fixtures are easy at all, really need a win tonight imo.

It’s looking like we will play Plymouth and Luton when they have to win to not go down. That really isn’t ideal

It's a great league really, there are probably nine teams still at serious risk of relegation and nine with a chance of promotion.

And Hull away is a night game in the week = guaranteed defeat.
Tonight is the easiest game we have left imo, if we win its on, if we lose this we've probably f'd ourselves.

We'd still be in it of course, but any points lost here would ultimately end up pretty big ones i think.

It's good news that Millwall are now sort of in the mix, as they play Middlesbrough at home on Saturday.

Watford, just one point an done place down from Millwall, play West Brom, so that could be very helpful too

Bottom half of the table 60 games (12x5) - 20wins, 20 draws, 20 defeats. That means the top half must be exactly the same. It really is the strangest league and the best in so many ways.

Also win tonight and we create a small gap. This puts pressure on all the teams below us just as much as us.
