Congrats on your ascent so far. Business end of the season and teams starting to wilt or press on.
To many 0-0 draws earlier in the season home and away hurt us. If a team came out to play and attack we generally won.but so many refused to budge from their half. Shockingly, crawley, Stevenage, Yeovil and Luton did this to us at their grounds although we beat Luton with a last minute goal.
It's no surprise that out of the teams around us and above we have beaten them all with just one loss at home to Oxford by a solitary goal.
We still have to play Northampton at home but beat them away.
The minimum is a play off place but Pompey have lost just once in the last 7 and are scoring freely at last. It's going to be a dogfight and hopefully although you'll want a draw, we will beat Plymouth at home on Saturday. Out of all the sides, they are the ones with the unhappiest fans at present. Pompey could knock the stuffing right out of them saturday.
Whatever, I wish you luck unless we have to play you in the play offs.
It's a dreadful league and both our sides should be higher. But we are where we are on merit so we have to deal with it.
I saw both our games with you this year and whilst your team didn't really perform on either occasion I did think your fans were the best to have visited fratton this year.

I saw both our games with you this year and whilst your team didn't really perform on either occasion I did think your fans were the best to have visited fratton this year. There was a plan in losing to you both times this season. If we got you in the play off's you'd be over confident that you could beat us.  Anyway there's been a change of plan now, we've decided to go up automatically so we don't have to play you again this season (fingers crossed)  We're happy for you to beat Plymuff as there's no way you're going to win all your last 6 games, you've had a few surprise home defeats, we're about to go on a 5 game winning run and clinch an automatic spot......put a bet on it....you heard it here first  . Good luck to you too unless it involves preventing us getting promotion...... |

With Accys we are the 3 teams in the best form. Oxford may well slip up, despite their great result. Not writing off Plymouth, but I still think 2nd and 3rd are available, happy for the Chimers to make it along with us.

Pompey did look the best team I've seen TWICE, and now hitting form BUT surely they have too much to do to get 3rd. If they do it, that'll be some finish - na ! Can't see it.

Although I hate the thought of us in the play-offs this season, never mind a Wembley appearance in the Final if we were successful, just imagine the spectacle of a BRFC versus Portsmouth FC final. I wonder what the attendance would be for that one? But, I'm passing on the score mind. Automatic or bust for me. |

I think that Rovers will finish 4th.
I hope that its Wimbledon in the play offs as Rovers can beat them over 2 legs.
Then Pompey or Plymouth at Wembley,I think that Plymouth would be easier for Rovers to beat but you never know in a one off game.

All I know is that we don't mind who we are playing as we've beaten everyone above and around us apart from oxford. I know we can win all are remaining games but just as likely to through an idiot of a result to ourselves. It's just nice to be involved at the right end of the table! |

My best mate is a Pompey fan (he sponsored the Rovers game so I enjoyed your club's hospitality which was great until the match started!) and the nightmare for us will be a Rovers v Pompey final in the play offs as we could not come back from the match together as one would want to celebrate and could not if we were together. |

I thought that on that day you looked useful but played into our hands by trying to attack us. We come unstuck when teams sit! Plymouth are so down on confidence at present I fear they may come for a point just to get them started again. At this end of the season when teams need points at both ends of the table means it leaves them with no choice but to attack. Therein I believe the reason is to be found why Pompey are running into a free scoring run. In my perfect world I'd like Rover Accy and ourselves to go up with Northampton. Oxford's fans were just pants |
