    Bearing in mind my permanent residency at the bottom of the table, I'm quite confident nobody's going to be copying my forecasts, so I'm in first for once. Don't expect it every week though.

    Argyle to lose 2-12 SMH? That’s a bit harsh isn’t it?

    Joe still missing Leeds v Watford. SMH didn't give a score for Birmingham v QPR because he submitted after the game had been played.

    Well, that was a long old weekend but we finally have 12 games complete.

    It's my feeling, unsupported by evidence, that we are getting lower scores this season. Most of us predicted Ipswich would beat Blackburn but not by four goals to three. Four of us took Leeds to beat Watford but not 3-0. Swansea v Sheffield Wednesday? A dour low score relegation zone draw surely? No, 3-0 to Swansea. And then there was Argyle. Most of us that were there and watched it still don't believe that score. Perhaps it's true: anyone can beat anyone in the Championship which makes it hard to predict.

    upload_2023-9-26_8-3-38.png

    If it wasn't for last night's game, where 4 of us got 3 points, scores would have been lower still but Sensible took Top Trumps with 12 from his score predictions followed by three of us on 10. Joe scored 10 despite having missed one of the games out, but I'm not sure if that counts as some sort of moral victory.

    Annoyingly, Sensible got the goal time with 17 minutes against the 15 actual, whereas I didn't with 12.

    Musty was closest to the total goals scored with 33 versus 34 actual and perhaps we all need to start ladling on the goals.

    Away and Lyndhurst retained the top two spots but lost ground to those immediately behind them, Joe and Plym. Nothing significant happened in the bottom three.

    upload_2023-9-26_8-10-16.png

    So, listen carefully. The next round after that commences on Friday evening with Sheffield Wednesday v Sunderland and finishes with Blackburn v Leicester at Sunday lunchtime. We will have a Total Goals add-on, 3 points for closest, 5 for spot-on. You don't have to calculate your totals but you can if you want. I modified the model 3 rounds ago to show Total Goals, actual v forecast, at the bottom of the Points Scored table if that's any help.

    Be aware also that the next programme of 12 games is spread over the following Tuesday and Wednesday and then we go again on Friday evening with the first game of the weekend schedule, which finishes at Sunday lunchtime. I don't know about the players, but I'm finding this exhausting. Roll on the next international break.

    Do we have a super match or is the goal total to replace that this time?

    We’ll have a Super Match too but I haven’t looked at the fixtures yet.

    Right so as we're doing a Total Score bonus, I'm going to tempt you with Sheffield Wednesday (goals against 14, 6th worst in the division) versus Sunderland (goals for 15, 5th best in the division) for the Super Match. Must be a goal fest and a win for Sunderland mustn't it? (Terms and Conditions Apply).

    Also, there's a bit of a steel thing going on, albeit cutlery v ships.
