[Nick]

I can see them beating us

 

[oakey]

Win

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Must win 🩵🩵

 

[fatso]

They played well today to beat Leicester, but they lost 2 players to hamstring injuries.
Hopefully they will know they are safe and will be on the beach by Tuesday.

 

[Viktor17]

We will win. Eyes on the prize

 

[Ricketts]

5-0. Haji hat-trick to get his season back underway, clean sheet for Rushworth.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They were poor I thought, only Lesta were terrible. They look a bit running on empty to me.

 

[Boicey]

Let's face it, we won't be well rested and prepared for this one will we?
Torp for the tank, Wright to start. Thomas and Lati.
Hope JDS has his brain in.
Hard to predict wouldn't be surprised with another draw tbh.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Expecting another very tough game. They're still not mathematically safe yet, so they'll still be well up for the fight. We turn up and play like we have for most of the last three games and we're going to have a problem. Hopefully yesterday took a lot of pressure off the team and they can play with more freedom now.

We should be until the title is won.

Lampard said players were impacted after celebrating against sheff weds.

Going to be worse then

 

[Sick Boy]

3-0 win.

 

[Paxman II]

Pompey doing well of late and have got themselves needing a point for certain safety. Tough game unless we find our form. Either way 4 points from 3 games will win the title. We will be celebrating the title on Sunday next at home to Wrexham. Watford becomes a dead rubber.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Nice to see the positivity lasted just over 12 hours

 

[SafeAsMilk]

Comfortable win and more than enough points in the bank to win league .. if Ipswich don’t beat Boro a win makes us champions doesn’t it? Would trophy be presented on the night?

 

[jto123]

I can’t wait for it!

 

[shmmeee]

Hoping the pressure is off us and off Pompey a bit and that means a comfortable win. Though if Boro win and we just need a win for the title then maybe the pressure is back on lol.

As long as we play 4231 I’ll be happy.

 

[quinn1971]

Pressures off now, we can go back to scoring for fun again, 4-1

 

[David O'Day]

We'll dick these silly

 

[TomRad85]

2-0 I think. No fuss.

 

[CovveeBreak]

In two minds on this one.

Either hangover (literal) from last night means a very scrappy draw, or the pressure of promotion lifted means we play with a sense of freedom that means it’s a simple win.

These scenarios contingent on FL not pulling that formation change bullshit again mind you

 

[chiefdave]

Hopefully we're not too hungover and put in a performance.

Need to get that title locked down.

I'm pretty sure it'd be the Wrexham game, they aim for final home games wherever possible

 

[SafeAsMilk]

stick that in yer fuckin documentary lads

 

[chiefdave]

Is there potential for us to win the league and Leicester be relegated on the same night?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Hadn’t won for 11 games then 3 on the trot
Come on I want to see the trophy lift

 

[Deity]

Back to normal formation

Markello to start

 

[stupot07]

We need to be much much better than we have in the last 3. A must win, I want the guard of honour and Trophy Vs Wrexham!

We will be, just been doing enough to get the job done, atmosphere should be back too,

 

[Skybluedogwood]

I’d go with the normal back 4 (Kitch and Thomas) and give Markelo a start on the left and KKH to partner MVE up the right. Torp in for Tank and Simms up front. I’d also have Eccles in for Rudi. Bring some fresh energy in and have a real go at them with a high press and the ability to make a real impact off the bench.

Zero chsnce that happening, will stick with EMC and tank who look tired, Rudi who currently looks better as an impact player and Wright who can be anything. This assumes Tats is out.

 

[wingy]

I think we're a bit like the state Sunderland got into before PO but much shorter on our part, there's no reason now to be constrained in our play, think Bidders will get a game!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Hopefully the players will play with some freedom knowing promotion is confirmed but they must want the title so we need to put a shift in and get 3 points.

 

[Hutch11]

Just go out and tonk the chiming wankers
