After Four Games and One Point

Righty-ho, here we go again ….

Early season optimism amongst our entrants was evident with only 2 hard-minded people going against the boys for the opener against Southend. So AngeB and Football19 were our early leaders with 3 points there. Smudgie got a bonus point for our blank and 18 of you got a lucky one for thinking they would get one, but not win.

A bit more realism the following week for Cheltenham, with the first 5-pointers of the season coming to Bdc, Nige B, Teach and Tommy McQueen . That gave us Bdc, Nige B and Teach on top with 6 points, T McQ one behind.

By Tuesday at Shrewsbury the feelgood feeling had just about vanished , only 14 keeping the faith compared to 12 pessimists. Nobody got the scale of the disaster quite right , but 7 of the 12 got a bonus point for another red blank . This included Nige B, taking him top with 10 points, a point clear of Teach.

Back home yesterday and the mood improved , 25 looking for the first win against Luton with only 5 expecting a fourth consecutive defeat. Leaving 7 correctly predicting the draw, with just JimsLad picking up a max 5 for the right score . Nige B and T McQ were amongst the magnificent (?) 7, leaving Nige 2 points clear now on 13, with Teach’s pessimism dropping him back behind Tommy on countback, both on 11 together with Norwich Stanley, sneaking in under the radar by amassing 3 correct results without scoring a maximum. AngeB fifth on 10 points, 3 clear of anyone else.

Watching the patterns of entries, I can confidently forecast that Wynonie’s entry for Bury next week will be 5-0, and he will be up to 46-0 for the home game against Mansfield on May 2nd . I also forecast even more confidently that if I am right there, Wynonie’s points after the Mansfield game will exactly equal the number of clean sheets we achieve this season.

We have 45 players so far this season, 16 with season tickets ensuring they won’t miss an entry. 14 others haven’t missed yet. 4 joined in after the first week, 4 haven’t been heard from since the first week . Peter9001 and Redmark are new players this season. 45 is too many for me to fit everybody in one attachment, for the time being I will split it so people with points are in Pt 1. 5 people have scored maximums, and there are 3 people who have played 4 for 0 points (that was me last season).

Finally, please please please check your records as shown in the tables do reflect your actual entries. I have been known to cock things up and it’s much easier to sort things out now then if you complain next May.

Roll on the Shakers. The only way is up (apart from Oxford so let’s not think about that).

On Stanley On!
