For goal difference to come into it we both need to drop points. If they w3 L1 and we w3 D1 we would be level on points. Hence, it is worth trying to improve our goal difference.

Smiley Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Very impressive finish today from Collins. Come in for plenty of stick but I really could see Charles missing that one today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Very solid away performance that. Usual mad 5 minutes post half time when we’re coming back round from our naps (during which Baxter made 2 amazing saves - he played like he’d never been away, it’s good to have him back!), but otherwise I thought we were solid, never really looked threatened and as much as we didn’t play beautiful flowing football - which I think the wind had a say in - we created enough and that bit of quality we now have turned a potential 1 point into 3. No real standouts, although I thought Toal was faultless again and Baxter gets a shout for looking so comfortable after so long out, but plenty of 7/10s all over the pitch. Clean sheet, +2 on the goal difference, Collins scoring again (great finish), Baxter back and one of the 2 remaining away games negotiated. A good day all round (and Barnsley lost for an added bonus). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, no argument with that. I think I'm just assuming that our one chance at this is to win all 4. For us to drop points and then expect Derby to drop even more from their dream set of fixtures seems far fetched. If they draw a game, great, and we have to capitalise, hopefully Posh will be out of the running by the last game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stig Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Excellent result today. Not the best performance but who ares at this stage, just need the points before the big one next week, which I honestly think we can win. Portsmouth aren't better than us man for man, just coached to be more consistent. Also, Collins looks a great player for next season (hopefully in the championship). His technique is better than all bar Bod, and he's creative. If we can get him and Charles firing that could be some partnership on the future. For next few games I'd leave it as Collins and Bod up front, working well at home especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted April 6 Site Supporter Share Posted April 6 Not read back through the thread, basically because I'm pissed Baxter brings a real calmness.

Noticed at 1 point too, the ball went out next to him. Ref pointed to the Bristol player, that's where the throw in is. He moved 5 yards towards us.
