Re: 2015/16 Prediction League; Game 32 v Oxford United (Wy)

A Good Day For The Cock-eyed Optimists

Two disappointing results against Carlisle , punctuated by a thrashing of hapless Crawley , and four or five first-choice players out through injury or suspension – clearly only cock-eyed optimists could forecast a win at Oxford, occupiers of an automatic promotion place for many weeks now and a team against whom we haven’t had the best of luck against since they came back into the league after we had pushed them out ten years back.

So 13 of us were indeed cock-eyed , against 11 logical souls and another 11 drawmongers , and 6 of the 13 took a max 5 points and a leap up the table . So hats off to Deeayess (6th to 2nd, 6 points behind AngeB), Leylandii (9= to 4th), Mab (13= to 8th), Cashman (17th to 15th), Div3North (Cheers boss, 27th to 20th) and Stevie R (29th to 23rd).



The other 7 optimists, curiously, all took 3 points, nobody picking 2-0 or 3-1 which would have been worth 4.

6 of Tuesday night’s Top Ten lost the faith and (mostly) position – AngeB, LongLostSon, MikeA, Ossy Kid, Tommy McQueen and Proccy Fan. The last named never offers anything but 2-1 Stanley, but this week ….

Worryingly, I’m beginning to dare to dream . The next 4 games look horribly winnable – but roll on Notts County, let’s take it one game at a time!

On Stanley On!!
