Mmm, one point out of six at home in four days not great , but good to take points away from the league leaders I suppose ….

We got optimistic again after battering the cod, 25 going for a win against the Gills, with only 6 favouring them and 10 going for the draw. Of the correct fence-sitting 10, only NigeB and FootyNut went correctly for 1-1 to take the max 5 points, in Nige’s case propelling him up the table from 18th to 7th. Of the 3-pointers, only LongLostSon was close enough to the sharp end to move into the Top Ten as a result, though 3 points for Gills fan Moodyblue2 was enough to overtake 7 home players following his first entry to the game. The other new entrant this week was Alan7554 who unfortunately failed to trouble the scorer . Lots of us picked up a single point for forecasting 1 goal for one team or the other.

Before the postponed Rotherham game we’d won two on the trot and we were in a bullish mood, and events since didn’t cause many people to change their minds, only Dabeast’s late change from 3-2 for them to 2-0 for us (at two minutes to kickoff) having any significant impact. So 32 for Stanley, 5 for them and 7 for the draw at kick-off.

Max 5 points for Kiwi John (predicted before the original date and probably left alone because of the time zone ) and Norwich Stanley. 4 for Valairian (no surprise there then ) and Football19, 3 for LongLostSon. Bonus points for a few of us.

And LongLostSon with a second successive 3-pointer leaps into the lead, with Kiwi up to 3rd and Val to 4th. Very tight at the top now with 4 points covering the Top Ten. Full table attached.

Week off for me now as we seek our revenge against Headington Utd in the cup. On Stanley On!
