Portsmouth losing 1-0
Luton nothing special a couple of months ago.
Win our 2 games in hand beat the Dingles, puts us just behind them, all to play for yet. Big big games for us in next couple of weeks, stay undefeated till end of march and who knows where we'll end up. Having said that I had a bet before season started, we'd beat sunlund in play offs at Wembley. Plus Marquis top scorer. Trouble is, they could be the ones to drop out, mates are saying the fans aren't happy the way they are playing at the mo. The pressure is getting to the players, mostly because the fans are on there backs for not winning 5 nil every week.

They haven't lost in the league since the beginning of October, and only twice since the beginning of September (to us and the Dingles). They're on what must be some kind of club record form run.
Barnsley and Pompey both drop points.
CIM not sleeping at all, and was going on their display at the KM, which was nothing special, they are obviously on a great run, the question is will they keep it up. Just a couple of seasons ago you watched Portsmouth pip a certain team, and with six games to go I would not have backed them to do so with your money never mind mine.
Yes, Portsmouth are there for the taking. Disappointing to come away with just the one point recently. However, I can see Barnsley getting a 2-2 draw. We must win at Scunny in the early kick off just so it's in Barnsley's heads before they kick off.If we can win our other game in hand and match your form in the other games, when it comes to our clash at the Keepmoat the points difference could have shrunk to an uncomfortable gap for you.
