Re: 2017/18 Prediction League; Game 33 v Crewe Alexandra (home)

Wild Optimism Brings Little Change - Kiwi Takes One For The Team

We really didn't give Crewe enough respect, did we? Kiwi John's 1-1 prediction was the only deviation from an otherwise 100% vote for success, in many cases by ridiculous margins . And reading between the lines it seems clear that if he hadn't gone for 1-1, it would have jolly well been 1-1 at best , with our second place hanging on goal difference once again .

But as we know, Kayden came through and the banana skin was avoided, so everyone north of the equator picked up at least 3 points , those with faith in Aaron 4 , and only AccyBeMe picking up a maxi by showing a modicum of realism regarding the number of goals we'd score. For which he was justly rewarded by staying put in 17th place , though he's now two points ahead of me instead of just the one .

In fact there were only 2 positional changes in the entire table. One up top, where Outback Ozzy (4 pts) took over from Mab (3) in 2nd, 2 points behind Tom D (4). And further down Football19 and Revived Red taking 4 moved them both past 3-point Tommy McQueen, who dropped from 20th to 22nd. Otherwise, it was just a case of gaps opening or closing by the odd point.

So now we roll on down to meet the Bees, holding a 4-1 aggregate lead from the game at the Crown in October. That ought to be safe , but it would be nice to double it, wouldn't it? Are our banana skin days behind us? Can we win 5 on the trot - for the first time since promotion? Our current 8 wins out of 9 is a best, but our best unbeaten run, amazingly, is 15 last season. To do that again might just seal it ..... perhaps to be revisited after Luton away!

On Stanley On!!
