Lordly Lead Stretches Out As Pessimists Prosper Again
And it was a day with the pessimists in the majority too
, with 11 over the wall and 6 stuck on top, leaving just 10 to keep the faith. Realistic I suppose ….
Only the one maxi though, falling to Ossy Kid
and seeing him soar into the elite with a move from 11th to 6th. 4 points were enough to lift Football19 up a place to 5th, and bring Accytom18 into the Top Ten too, at 10th=. This saw TomD, MikeA and Mab slipping down a bit, and MonkeyHanger dropping out of the Ten, having failed to trouble the scorer with any prediction
. LongLostSon and Taypot, continuing his run, were the other 4-pointers, climbing 24th to 21st and 26th to 25th respectively. And I was the major loser
, down with a Desmond from 18th to 22nd, which makes me feel even better as I type. Oh, and 3 points for Lord Stiffupperlip was enough to stretch his lead at the top by 2 more points, with Kiwi John now 9 points adrift
.
Ok, so its Roll On (Over
) The Rams in t'Cup next, as I have another Saturday off
, before League action recommences with another long trip south to Gillingham on Tuesday week. This is beginning to look just a bit serious, but are we down-hearted? Would we have taken 35 points from 27 games if offered back in August? Would Coley? Are there more questions than answers? Have I lost my mind?
On Stanley On!!
