with 19 games left..............

our worst 19 game run is 32 -our best 39 predicting between 84 and 91 points

 

Those drawn games in the last 11 could all have potentially been wins, Leading in all those matches with late goals from Lincoln and Wigan.

 

I hope those early season home defeats do not come back to haunt us. We cancelled one out on Tuesday.

 

Wondering if you could pull the top 6 run in together? Say last 10 games, I know Bolton have some tricky away games left at Blackpool, Wigan, Barnsley, Derby and a final day crunch at Peterborough but not sure on others.

 

On the flip side I hope we go up automatically with a goal difference of one ......... that goal being Cosgrove's goal of the month.

 

I was thinking along the same lines but with Andy Dallas' 96th minute goal.

here you are-I've highlighted games involving both

 

This will come back and bite me on the backside - After Pompey on 23 March we seem to have the least challenging run in!

 

That goal was worth 2 points as well.

 

The flipside a lot of our victories have been by just one goal. Those could easily have been draws.

 

and on the flip flip side three of the wins have been comebacks

Bolton have a really tough set of away games there.

Currently playing Blackpool last away game of the season is looking as exciting as I hoped it would be when fixtures came out in June.

 

Blackpool away is potentially tricky. They still think they can challenge for the play-offs and could still be around the pack then.

 

International weekend that one. Unlikely we would pp if styles is off but pompey called off all 3 so far this season. Likely to be a Tuesday in April with 2 or 3 games left......

 

Also in every defeat we've suffered barring the Peterborough one, the opening goal has been a penalty. It's no coincidence that since we stopped giving penalties away on a weekly basis, we've stopped losing football matches.

 

Run in analysis, based on form so far:

This is very true indeed, looking at our away games I'd fancy ours over Bolton's

 

At this point in time, top 2 is definitely in our own hands. Out of the teams above us we have to play Bolton twice, Derby at home and Pompey away.

 

And we finally learnt how to win after conceding first, which has made a sizeable difference

Just need to maintain this consistency. There will be dropped points but nobody will pull away this season unless it's us. That's not being biased. It's just the way the fixtures have worked out. We need to hang in there.
