Fencesitters Profit, But Make Only Modest Progress
Fresh from their success at Burton, Saturday's Top 6 stuck with pessimism for
another away game against
another automatic promotion challenger - and came unstuck
along with 3 other doubters. 15 kept the faith
and received equally meagre reward
, just a bonus point if they'd stuck a 2 in somewhere.
11 fencesitters did rather better
, but there were only 3 maximums, 2 coming from default forecasts, Mike A moving from 20th to 17th and Norwich Stanley from 29th to 27th. The third was mine
, taking me from 25th to 22nd. So no great rewards for anybody, though curiously LongLostSon's mere 3 points gave him the biggest jump, from 14th to 9th
. Nearer the top, Bdc pushed on from 7th to 5th, while Deeayess's single bonus point brought him equal on points with Nige B and thus back to 2nd on countback. AngeB's lead remains 16 points, and Cashman in 31st is now the lowest placed possible winner
, with 45 points available to go for.
So roll on the KitKat merchants, who are only out of the relegation places on goal difference. This usually acts as a signal for us to be kind
- but surely not this time? Please??
On Stanley On!!
