    So with a break in the fixtures just a little chance to update you on somethings in the Prediction League <ok>

    Title Chasers

    The main story at the top of the league is that despite holding a 25 game stretch at the top, the relatively un-fancied BLUEBIRDS has let the top position slip to another newcomer in the title race, cvd. A run of 11 points from 7 games has seen cvd surge from 4th to the top and usurp BLUEBIRDS position, which was once 4 points clear and safe. However there is still a long way to go and last season’s contenders GLAM and Irish are not too far off a position to strike. Or perhaps Christmas promotion winner JH could nick it. Who d’ya fancy?

    The Drop

    The main correlation about the bottom 6 is that three of last year’s Division 2 promotion winners are preparing themselves for a scrap. It would have been all four but playoff winner ccfcrtOp has found some good recent form to drag himself to mid table. Current Div 2 Champion privatebenjamin was bottom but he has managed to close the gap between him and safety to just one point! Private is only one point from Bluebird nat, who after a very successful season at the top last year (only letting go of the top spot late on) is having a nightmare season with inconsistent predicting leading to her being dragged into the relegation battle. The other victim of inconsistent predicting is Dom who despite a good total of 4 CS sits bottom of the league. The last word goes to H who after his last day of the season escape is continuing to defy the odds by riding high in 5th place. No last day panic for him this year!

    Second Division Title

    Despite the setbacks of a Playoff final defeat and missing out on the Christmas promotion slot, The Exile is continuing strong in his chase for promotion, sitting well clear at the top and it looks like promotion is his to lose (again). The fight for the second spot looks like it could be close. Despite looking good earlier in the season Blueturk has dropped back and the trio of debutees (Jonah, Steve and Red) have showed some good form and it looks like this could also go right to the end of the season. The other name in the mix for automatic promotion is GhostOfNinian who is looking for a straight return to the top flight after consistently lurking in the playoff positions for most of the season.

    Race For The Playoffs

    Most of this topic will be decided in the next part of the season. Danablu has picked up his act from last season and scored some CS (3!) to put him in the mix for the playoff charge. Sparkey already has previous experience of stealing playoff spot late on having pulled the same trick on UniBrum last season. This could happen again with Brum also in the mix. But who is going to pull of the late surge for a chance in the lottery? Sayer? Snaggs? Blueturk? This one is wide open but surely not Bfb…..?

    Bit unfair Sheep. Lol.

    I predicted our win at Blackpool with a correct score although Turner upset my scorer predictions by getting injured.

    Does that mean I've broken the hex of forecasting losses so we win? Or am I just useless at this? Answers on a postcard please to..............

    Anyway I'll keep trying but will always be prepared to take one for the team. Oooeeerrrr missus!!!

    There's another one to look out for in the chase for the title...a certain Blue Sheep. Could be a bit of a dark horse this one or a dark Sheep!!
