    A mixed bag of forecasts this week, with Musty still to come. Home wins for Blackburn and Norwich are popular picks as are Hull at home, Ipswich away and a draw between fallen stars Southampton and Leicester. After that, opinions vary.

    Having just fixed this table so null returns by any individual player don't calculate as bogus draws, Joe goes and misses out a single match, in this case QPR v Sunderland. So his "draw" forecast is an anomaly at this point. If something can go wrong, it will go wrong and will go wrong at the worst possible time.

    Sheffield Wednesday v Ipswich is the favourite for jokers, 4 out of the 7 submissions to date, but Lyndhurst's is on Sheffield Wednesday to win whereas the other three are on Ipswich. Before scoffing, please note Lyndhurst is 5 points clear at the top of the table before a ball is kicked tonight.

    Revised schedules with Joe's forecast complete and Musty's in too.

    Two results are in from the Friday night games: Plym got a point from predicting a draw between Hull and Coventry when everyone else went for a home win while Lyndhurst and Musty both got a single point by predicting a Leicester away win at Southampton, for which a draw was the choice of most.

    The Battle of the Unpopular ended with a 0-3 win for Leeds at Millwall with no cards shown and no reports of crowd disorder. Very disappointed with that. What is the world coming to?

    Musty and SMH stole the headlines in the prediction league as the only two to achieve double digits. Away in BC got the goal time with his prediction of 10 minutes against the very disappointing 50 odd seconds it took Argyle to concede the first.

    The Super Match gave Joe, Sensible and SMH double points for predicting an away win but only SMH was close to the actual 0-3 score with his 0-2 prediction.

    upload_2023-9-17_15-48-35.png

    SMH moved up a place but otherwise the status ante was maintained, apart from Sensible joining me on the second rung from the bottom. There isn't room for both of us Sensible. Please return to your previous position.

    There is another full round in midweek, spread over Tuesday and Wednesday and as forewarning, the following weekend round starts on Friday evening. We haven't had any special events yet so two jokers please for the Tuesday/Wednesday programme of matches. Super Match has an alliteration theme: Cardiff City versus Coventry City. Yes, I'm already running out of ideas on this one.

    Good luck to you all. No, really.

    All in, thank you.

    Ignoring the Argyle game, where there's an obvious bias, home wins for Preston , QPR and particularly Millwall are where we agree most.

    upload_2023-9-19_8-21-28.png

    That confidence is reflected in the jokers with three on each of those games, accounting for 9 of the 16 at our disposal. Leaving Argyle aside again, no other game gets 2 jokers. The Argyle game does get a joker from SMH, to draw, and, always the optimist, Joe has the other Argyle joker on a 1-3 away win. I hope you are right Joe! Or indeed I'll settle for SMH getting 6 points on that one!

    upload_2023-9-19_8-26-56.png

    I'll get the scores out as soon as I can on Thursday but please don't forget the next sequence starts on Friday evening with Birmingham City v QPR.

    Top match score of 14 for Joe, with 4 from the Super Match and two "threes", followed by Musty and Away In BC.

    upload_2023-9-20_22-31-36.png

    Plym got the goal time and it looks as if we should all being going for early goals if Argyle go on like they have recently.
    upload_2023-9-20_22-36-14.png
    Away In BC goes to the top of the table at Lyndhurst's expense while Joe is now tying with Plymborn for 4th place.

    Next round commences on Friday evening. We'll revert to a single joker and normal terms. Super Match will be bottom of the table clash: Swansea City v Sheffield Wednesday.

    I only ever put us down to win or draw whatever the odds are... I'm guessing others do the same.

    Just to clarify, the last game in this next batch will be Coventry v Huddersfield on Monday evening. We have a break then until Friday....
