Super City took a huge step to safety after a terrific win on the South Coast on Tuesday night. Mathematically, their still not safe, but with a 12 point gap between them and the bottom three, and a far superior goal difference (which was further improved at Pompey), you'd fancy their chances of playing Championship football next season.
City face a stern test in the shape of play-off chasing Millwall, who are just 3 points away from a play-off spot in 8th place. While such play-off hopes have passed City by for yet another season, Andy Thorn's men will be keen to keep up the form which has seen just 1 defeat in the last 5 for the City.
Blimey, last night's win really has our confidence up! Predicting a 4-0 win is one thing, but to do it with just 10 players on the pitch is even more amazing!
I'm going to be a bit more reserved and call it 1-1. But no doubt that by the time it's matchday and i'm stood in block 15 after a couple of pints i'll be feeling a sky blue win!
Sorry to ruin the party but I predict a 0-1 . As you know whenever we get all excited and things start going well , it usually goes tits up . Here's hoping I am totally wrong !
i think Thorn and the boys are keen to put on a show for the home crowd after two (three if you include Burnley) cracking away days. Dont think Millwall are the same threat without Morrison so i am going with 2 - 0 to the city (king & Clingan).
Everyone has well and truly changed their tune. I have to say to all you positive mothers out there. I CONCUR. I can see us getting 9 points from the three remaining home games. It would be a nice record to take over to next season. As for Saturday, I think 2-0 Keogh (due a goal from a corner) and Juke.
Oh and Rob, I might consider parking somewhere else just this week.
Speaking at the club's weekly press conference, Keogh said about Morison who is suspended:
"It's going to be a tough game and they are a strong team. Steve Morison is suspended. He's a big part of their game, so that is a big plus for us.
"Down there they came at us a bit, but hopefully we can exploit their weaknesses and grab a foothold in the game early and build on it.
"Who's to say we can't win the last five and finish in a strong position in the table. We pride ourselves on working hard and keeping clean sheets. We can really lay a marker down and hopefully keep a few more."
