It’s straightforward.

For promotion we need 4 points. They can be points we win OR points BOTH Boro and Millwall drop

For the title we need 10 points. They can be points we win OR points Ipswich drop.

We win and Boro and Millwall drop 2 points = 5 points = promotion.

We draw and Boro and Millwall lose = 4 points = promotion.

We win and one or more of them wins = 3 points and we go to next game needing 1 point for promotion. Etc

We can sit back and watch them drop points at any time between now and the end of the season. 87 will be more than enough for promotion.

Surely the party begins as soon as we are promoted?

Are we seriously suggesting their won't be wild celebrations if we are promoted on Saturday?

No. There will be wild celebrations on Saturday if we win, of course. Even bigger when the title is secured

Most people I speak to are saying promotion will be the big one, that's how I feel as well to be honest

Yup.

The title would be the cherry on top.

Obviously some people will have a different take to me, but going up is the main thing for me. Though we'll do both I'm sure

That's okay. We all view things differently.
I'm old school. I was brought up in the era of Billy Bremner's book, 'You get nowt for being second.'
That used to be the case. Runner-up, coming second ... is being first loser.

Then being second, third, fourth etc gradually got more and more rewards. The world changed.

I remember years of Cov being scoffed at for being 15th, 16th, 17th every year. Now it is seen as success.
As I said, we all view things differently.

We're going to do both, obviously. Promoted and as champions

I am just so eager to get that first part over the line and am chomping at the bit.

Can't wait and the sooner the better. Be so fantastic to be promoted with 4 games still to go.

Same here. Am reminded of that first away game against Stockport and saying to my mate on the way out of the ground, "piece of piss this league..."

Twenty-five years later...

I don't think we'll confirm it this weekend.
Fancy baggies to take something off Millwall but can't see boro dropping points to Portsmouth.

Would normally agree, but they've had one massive wobble since going top for a game.

Coventry A L
Oxford H D
Leicester H D
Birmingham A W
QPR A W
Charlton H L
Bristol City H D
Blackburn A D
Millwall H L
Swansea A D

Last 10 games W2 D5 L3. 11 points from 10 games.

Portsmouth are playing for their survival. Last 2 games draw away to Norwich who only managed 6 shots with 2 on target, and home draw with Oxford. Can't see a Portsmouth win, but a draw wouldn't be a surprise.

Edit had them as a draw at home to Charlton but they lost

Agree with this. Think Pompey are more than capable of bagging a draw here.

Boro are really wobbling and their confidence must have been hit as a result

Really interesting press conference from Henrik Pedersen.

He said we're the most difficult team to press in the league because of how we play.

He also said we've scored the most goals against deep lying defences (26) so they they can't just defend deep either.

Last 5 games just 3 points and struggling to score goals. These games were against the sides in 18th, 11th, 19th, 4th and 15th. 4 goals for 6 against.

Sutton were 16/1 (according to my Google search) in 1989.

Can’t think of another game in my lifetime where we were considered bigger favourites.

We just need to come out all guns blazing,get an early goal and Wednesday will be there for a few more.The longer it's 0-0 or they sneak a 1-0 lead it will be harder.I was only bothered about promotion but now we are this much in front and have been top since October I think( apart from 6 days when the best team In the league took over for less than a week)I want the championship title that would be a fantastic achievement.I won't be running on no pitch until that title is achieved,and then get off and watch us lift the trophy.But let's gets 3 points Saturday first.
