Definitely squeaky bum time. We are still playing well but missing McCormack in front of the back four big time - we hardly conceded for four months and since he and Rea were both out injured we have become slipshod. Really should have won tonight, wo off the line, hit woodwork, lots great saves by the Wimbledon goalie. Our reserve keeper didn't make any, he should have stopped the late equaliser :-( Will be tough now, neither of our games are easy and we are forgetting how to win. All to play for - exciting
Lots of guaranteed last day shenanigans to keep us all regular come 4th May. Maybe Portsmouth will win the league. After all, they were 5 points clear at the beginning of the year, before Luton took over the world.
Honestly reckon we should just forget about Luton. With goal difference we’d need an 8 goal swing & to make up 3 points on them or to make up 4 or more points on them in two games. It’s too much of a swing in my opinion.
Certainly raising and lowering expectations all this weekend. Pompeys result put pressure on us before we kicked off on Saturday. We were all elated that the lads had our game wrapped up easily before half time, and that Sunderland were still goalless at Peterborough. Suddenly the mood is soured by Sunderlands apparent late winner. A few minutes later were all celebrating a Posh equaliser. Then tonight's scores at Luton and Donny mean we still have an outside chance of winning the whole shebang, and Posh will hopefully go to Pompey with a chance of the playoffs. And all that was just 2 days of the run in. If Carlsberg made exciting run ins eh?
You're still big favourites for me, but if we win and you lose or draw at Burton on Saturday, it's going to be crackers on the last day. I just hope we both get automatic mate. If we nicked top spot, phenomenal.. . . If we went up as runners up, phenomenal.
I'm going to say this though Pelly, if Luton hold out they will have deserved it, particularly when you consider budgets etc. They've played good football all season long... including a change of manager, and the games I've seen they don't seem to have the good fortune that particularly Sunderland have enjoyed....If you win, which I think you will, I'll be really chuffed for you ( my best mate is from Luton btw)...just hope we can get a well deserved runner up spot.
I don't care what anyone says if Luton had invested wisely in January (instead of spending good money on Moncur ) they would have been on the beach by now!
