    It would be the most Barnsley FC thing ever for us to go down to Portsmouth and win and seal a play off place.

    I've already pointed this out to my Pompey mate, but this season we all know it won't happen.

    A point from that game secures promotion for them. A win confirms them as champions. I suspect they might just be up for this one.

    Not exactly the time we'd want to be playing them, given the implications for their own season.

    Lose at Pompey, draw at Blackpool and win at home to Northampton. Although that’s not really the Barnsley way is it.

    Yh, when you think of the context I might have a few quid on a draw, both teams content to play for that.

    Highly likely, yes, but they can secure their own fate and actually win the title if they win. They won't be lacking in motivation for the game.

    We generally do better against better clubs. If I had to back us to win just one more game this season it would be in order of our next three games.

    I wouldn't, the fatal flaw in us playing for a draw is, we can't defend.

    I wouldn't be entirely surprised. Portsmouth are due a defeat. If luck is on our side and Portsmouth miss all the chances we'll almost certainly present them with, then we could snatch a victory and spoil their party.

    I win in last 20 visits to Fratton Park. I’d have a bit more hope if our impressive away run hadn’t just come to an abrupt end.

    I’d love us to be party poopers, play really well and take some form into the playoffs, but I can’t see it. Respect to Pompey, they’ve been great all season and I’d gladly take a point.

    not gonna happen, they will stuff us as will Blackpool. then we will struggle for a draw against Northampton. I am afraid we will be looking for favours from other teams results.

    In previous seasons, maybe, but we're genuinely poor at the moment. Pompey will enjoy their promotion party-night with a resounding win.

    Give up.

    It's also based on those behind us winning all their games.
