notdistant........where are your predictions? Am I not seeing something. I was just looking to see who got what for tonight and couldn't find your's.
FFS. They're here. Went straight from SMH's predictions to the summary without posting my own. Goal Time: 26 mins as per the chart.
A bit later than usual, and in Isla St Clair mode, the Scores On The Doors are: You'll see that most of us really only got Sheffield United v Stoke and Sunderland v Oxford right, which probably wasn't that hard. Elsewhere, shock results at Burnley and West Brom in particular left us totally pointless. I suppose Swansea v Oxford is a bit more understandable. Away In BC played a blinder though. If we had Stewards, they'd be Enquiring. Musty got the Goal Time, 17 minutes predicted against 16 actual and it was for the wrong side as I feared and put an end to what had been a decent start by Argyle. Away's good result in a difficult to predict round moved him up from 4th to joint second with SMH, 6 points behind Sensible. I've altered Points Progress to show on the most recent 10 rounds. Otherwise, by the time we get to Round 46, the gaps between one player and the next are going to be almost indistinguishable. Even as it is, that group of Away, SMH, Plym and Lyndhurst are pretty tightly packed. I've also got my crayons out and converted it to a a night-vision look, which I think is clearer. What do you think?
For reasons known only to Sky Sports, we don't go again until Friday at 8pm with Luton v West Brom running through to Millwall v Burnley at 3pm on Sunday. In case you're wondering why we have that Sunday game, it's for the vital purpose of allowing Sky to fill in the gap between their two Premier League games on Sunday afternoon, Spurs v Aston Villa at 2pm and managerless Man Utd v Chelsea at 4:30. (Before you point out the times don't match exactly, the Championship games are on a different channel). Here is the match text. Luton Town - West Bromwich Albion Blackburn Rovers - Sheffield United Oxford United - Swansea City Stoke City - Derby County Cardiff City - Norwich City Hull City - Portsmouth Leeds United - Plymouth Argyle Middlesbrough - Coventry City Preston North End - Bristol City Queens Park Rangers - Sunderland Sheffield Wednesday - Watford Millwall - Burnley As you see the Super Match is Stoke v Derby, 7 places apart on the table but surprisingly closely matched in recent form. We'll also do the Total Goals thing, As usual, add it up yourself if you wish but there's no need to.

No, it's not getting any easier, form is very variable for most teams. I think you in the right ball-park for our game. We been scoring a few: 3 versus Sunderland, 3 versus Luton and 3 against Preston but we're conceding a few too. Just one goal doesn't look likely and if they are going to be a lot, it's likely to start early!
