Pompey can easily limp over the line, the defeat at pride park has seriously cost us. Still if Derby lose  or draw a game and we win it could give them a wobble and thats our best chance. 

That defeat at Pride Park has really done us but not beating Exeter or Stevenage recently have also done us

Agreed, i thought at the time of the Pride Park defeat - that was a massive game to lose and would end up costing us big time.

It ain’t quite over though,we go again.

Nah, there’s loads more dropped points to blame than that one.

Rescuing a point with 10 men, won’t be looked at, at where promotion was lost.

Derby was the classic six pointer, they would be 3 worse off and we would be 3 better had we won instead. No question that was a game that cost us dearly.

It’s dropped points throughout the season - loads of games you can point at.

but most top sides will be able to do the same.

Maybe but that first half performance was dire

If we beat Bristol we're one point behind on the same games, which is nothing. Nobody would be counting their chickens if we were one point ahead of them. For as long as we're within two points we can force them to keep winning and that's very difficult at this time of year (particularly away from home).

Most bookies have us around evens for promotion (which I assume includes the playoffs). That feels about right to me. Not favourites, but it wouldn't take a miracle for us to get in.
