Over the next 2 games Fleetwood play Sunderland and Portsmouth
If they lose both our top 6 position would look even more likely
Ideally we would want them to pick up points though as I think these are our 2 biggest rivals for top 2 after Rotherham
Did the job for us yesterday so hope they carry on

In fact Fleetwood could have a big impact, they play,
Portsmouth
Sunderland
Ipswich
Portsmouth (again)
Rotherham
They are only 2 points off Portsmouth having played the same number of games, and have won the last 4.

Our draw at Fleetwood looks increasingly like a good result. They could put themselves in contention if they maintain their home form and improve away.

Hopefully not, but it's been steadily improving over the past few weeks. Long may it continue. We'll win it on points alone, anyway.

I was listening to 5 live before going into the game yesterday. They had an interview with the Rotherham chairman mainly talking about Paul Warne. He sounds like a good, innovative manager. When that finished they had a general chat about the League One promotion chase with the presenter and pundits in the studio (can’t remember who they were). The general gist was that it was going to be a tremendous battle with Rotherham, Peterborough and Portsmouth all in there fighting. The general feeling was that Peterborough were the favourites, Ivan Toney being talked up. Can’t remember if Sunderland were mentioned much. We were but it was sort of as a sideline I felt, not really considered automatic contenders. Ipswich were a surprise as they had tailed off so much.
I was quite surprised that we were dismissed/ not really considered, so easily. I did wonder if they had looked at recent stats and seen how well we are doing. It did make Peterborough’s defeat all the sweeter later on.
A Portsmouth fan phoned 6-0-6 on the way home to say how well they were doing (no real other point to his call) although he did say the defeat on Tuesday was hard to take. Clinton Morrison (surely they must have better pundits) agreed with him, felt Portsmouth have a great chance but was surprised at some of the teams like Wycombe and Coventry that you wouldn’t expect to be up there!
If we hadn’t challenged this season I would have been disappointed after last year. Not sure how much Clinton studies League Two!

Can't see how Peterborough are favourites given their current position and that the teams above and below them have games on hand on them, and as many as three in our case.

This is one of the best things about doing well, making these idiots eat their words. It’s jobs for the boys, anyone who ever played the game is somehow classed as an “expert”, yet are seemingly always wrong. If they knew that much they’d be managing teams, not making stupid soundbites based on what they’ve heard from their mates.

Portsmouth have FA cup/ FL Trophy Semi and maybe a final
Still to play
Fleetwood x 2
Peterboro Away
Ipswich Away
Rotherham Away

That is 5 games where they would be pleased with 8 points
I think they will crash

In my opinion it is Sunderland . Rotherham and ourselves
That is why the next 2 home games are massive

Too early, they’ve got 3 wins on the bounce against teams who are out of form - similar to us, but we got a huge win v Pompey. Who beat Sunderland 2-0.

Right now, we’re the form team with 26 points from 30 available

I know every year there is a team that quietly goes about their business whilst other people underestimate them... And whilst we don't feel that as we support them, do you think Coventry are this seasons team?

So many people underestimating us, Alot backing us too to be fair

Sunderland have won more points than us in 2020 to be fair. Saying that, not sure if they've played more games.

Portsmouth, Oxford and ipswich not even in playoff positions, nor are Doncaster who were tipped, or blackpool who were strong against us.

No one to fear. Pundits are arseholes.
