One game at a time for us - every game get the atmosphere we had vs Boro and we will sail this

Its a 3 way race now, forget the others and I'd probably assume Ipswich win their game in hand. So 5 points on both

I tend to agree but Millwall play both Ipswich and Boro away so they do have a remote chance to piss on their parades.

For us, it’s completely optimal because in a situation Millwall beat both teams more or less guarantees we finish in the top 2 because Ipswich and Boro play each other. If we continue at our current run rate, we’ll hit 93-94 which would be close to max points in for all 3 teams.

That port vale pitch is awful. Bristol will have some tired legs tonight

 

[Balli001]

It has been improving unfortunately.

But they need it to improve a lot

 

[TomRad85]

That’s fine to believe that and perfectly reasonable. You said they were a threat to boro and Ipswich which I do too, but I think that must include us too for the time being. It’s fair if you don’t think that, but 11 games is a lot at this point.

It doesn't and this is what you aren't getting. Ipswich and Boro are a threat to us, Millwall are an (outside) threat to Boro and Ipswich.

Pompey will mess up ipswich

Fingers crossed Vale can win it, so we benefit.

But if Bristol lose will they not be full of fire for us to appease the fans ?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Definitely want a PV win and to play Bristol after 120 mins on a shit heap pitch

Umm…I don’t really know what else to say haha. I’ve said your position is fair, but I just don’t agree with it. Milwall still in contention imo, but you seem to think it is a categorical fact they are not. I ‘get’ what you think and just disagree (for now).

Not on this showing they are terrible against port vale. They will be knackered after this

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

It's bizarre, teams win games you'd probably expect them to and it's the end of the world. We are in the driving seat.

Imagine if we were in Boro’s position… Only 3 points ahead and Ipswich have a game in hand whilst they still need to go Portman Road.

The odds that we’ll go up is comfortably 90% from this point, I don’t know why so many people panic like sheep.

It’s mostly their reserves starting but it will likely mean they get nothing done tomorrow and we can play them whole our form is still hot.

I think they are still in contention for second place if Ipswich and Boro both fall away.

 

[Paul Anthony]

You can tell we're not used to being in this position, can't you

 

[SkyblueTexan]

0-0 would've been a fair result, but it took a wonder goal to beat Hull. Close margins. Hull will be tough to beat. Why can't Ipswich play Wrexham every week? Anyway they're up against Leicester at home next and in the reverse fixture Leicester beat them. So hoping for a similar outcome.

Agree, we have the momentum so don’t want this game to be off.

 

[jto123]

So true haha

 

[no_loyalty]

Shipley still on for Vale, hopefully he scores a winner in ET or in the shootout.

 

[Ipad Boro]

You lot are just going to have to go there a win I’m afraid.

IF Ipswich beat Pompey and are ahead of us on GD, even if we were to get a win against them it may have to be a huge score as I'm more confident of our chances against them than I am of beating Bristol City....

 

[Noble]

HAHA YES

 

[RoysterE17]

Saturday game it is

 

[mark82]

Bloody hell. Might need to rearrange my weekend.

 

[Mcbean]

Ideal if they can hold on tough game on an awful pitch

 

[shmmeee]

Get in you fuckers

 

[Mcbean]

Bristol will be knackered

 

[TomRad85]

I originally wanted Bristol through to get 3 home games on the spin and really stack up the points, but I do fancy us to go there and get something atm.

 

[shepardo01]

Be nice for our game to get postponed on Sat, get a rest and get Ipswich game in hand done

They could be two behind us by the time we play Preston on Weds if we don't play on Saturday.

And we would have a game in hand on them

We'd be under a bit of pressure though?

What have they put out tonight.....other than themselves at present!?!

 

[Mcbean]

Scumberland going to love this pitch

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Just found coverage of the Port Vale match. Pitch looks much better than Grimsby’s ground.

They’ve not been great at home recently, better on the road.

From my rough knowledge of Bristol City, most of their strongest team as I recognise it at a glance either started or has been subbed on.
