Is this the last chance saloon for Pompey? Probably so, as if we want to keep alive a possible play-off push we MUST beat Charlton on Saturday afternoon.

Whatever happens now it has been a successful return to League One, well, I feel anyway.

If we miss out on the top-six, in all honesty, we can’t moan? You can’t basically lose as many games as you win and feel you warrant a play-off place, can you? However, it goes without saying we’ll hope we manage to extend our season, but Tuesday’s defeat at Bradford leaves us with it all to do.

So, in the first of “three cup finals”, Charlton will visit Fratton Park. A Pompey win and this puts the Addicks under pressure and brings us back into the mix. Anything other and the Blues will be also-rans, admittedly in a decent return to this level.

Do I think we’ll win? A performance similar to that shown against Wigan – and an atmosphere to match – then I’d think so. Then again all things considered, as long as we see a good game of football and Pompey give it everything to get the points, I’ll go away happy from what will be my penultimate game for a while.

Of course, a possible play-off bid could add extra fixtures, but that old cliché again comes out, a game at a time.

PLAY UP POMPEY
 
In recent weeks we’ve been tighter defensively and cut out sloppy mistakes. Admittedly, these occurred during the unbeaten run, but Pompey got away with them – not at Bradford though.

Facebook and Twitter seem as though they are adding a bit more interest again, the face we're back on NewsNow will also help.

Get a vote in for the MotM though, use the link above and also share some views on Saturday's disappointment too in the new look forum - remember any issues let me know.
