Absolutely, defeat at Plymouth wouldn’t be the end of the world, but we’ll hope Pompey can avoid this at Home Park this afternoon.
Going into this game I said defeat wasn’t an option. Well, if we wanted to finish in a play-off spot anyway. However, as much as avoiding a loss would improve the chances of finishing in the top-six it doesn’t necessarily mean the Blues’ season is over.
Commenting on twitter, I’d said.

A must-win for #Pompey? Defeat isn't an option. Should that happen realistically we have to kiss goodbye to the prospect of the top-six? A point has to be the minimum return at Plymouth. #PFC #Portsmouth #PUP #bluearmy

Yes, @Keironpfc15 did have a point. Defeat, again as much as this isn’t wanted, most definitely isn’t the end of the world, far from it as other things are more important. From a football specific point though it would damage a play-off bid, but wouldn’t necessarily end it.
There’s no doubt momentum would be retained if we can win, ultimately leaving things in our own hands in many ways.
In fairness, you have a point. However, you would think #Pompey momentum would be lost? Whereas victory pretty much leaves our destiny in our own hands. BIG GAME tomorrow regardless. #PFC #Portsmouth #PUP #bluearmy

A tough task at Plymouth looks harder though given the form our hosts have shown, which I knew was good, but I didn’t realise quite how good.
Going to be hard winning there they've only lost 1 home game since late November and that was to Wigan in January rest have all been wins????

Gulp…Knew it would be tough, but not quite that tough. Was aware they had a great record of late, but not that good! Point, tbh, would be a good, three would be GREAT! #PFC #Pompey #Portsmouth #PUP #bluearmy

Ok, so I didn’t feel defeat was an option. Hopefully it’ll not happen, but the season wouldn’t be over if that were the case and the world wouldn’t come to an end. Que sera sera and all that…
