I must confess, my only real knowledge of our competition comes from watching iFollow, EFL L1 on Quest every Saturday, looking at the league table and meeting the odd opposition fan.
I had a long discussion with a couple of Ipswich fans a couple of weeks ago (at a funeral !) and they were bullish about getting to the playoffs but not so bullish about winning them.
They were certain that if Cook had been dumped earlier they would be in the top 6 now, they believe that Kieron McKenna has given them a real chance of a winning run and that the Pompey game would be a make or break affair for both sides and that a draw would be poor result for either.
I had an Oxford supporting chippy working in the house last week and, although he was gutted at losing to Pompey, he felt that Oxfords fire power would give them a better chance than Pompey of the playoffs.
We all agreed that, with all the playoff 6 pointers coming up (and most of the top 10 have a fair number), no one has much margin for error especially if you are in the chasing pack like Ipswich and Pompey.
March is going to be a very exciting month for we Pompey fans !
