This Time, Cock-Eyed Optimism Takes The Day
After Tuesday's game I used "cock-eyed optimism" to describe 18 out of 25 expecting a win against Ipswich. Could we do better against Swindon? Of course we could
, 21 out of 25 this time ...... OK, Swindon are down in the relegation dogfight, but when did that mean anything?
Amazingly, the majority were right for once
, so at least 3 points
for every one except pointless and flightless Kiwi John, employing reverse psychology and taking one for the team
, and drawmongers StanleyJosh, AndyD and LongLostSon who got a point each, one way or another.
7 maxis
amongst the 21, but with 12 others getting 4 points
, positional gains were quite limited. Roll of honour then: Watchdog staying 6th, Mab up from 8th to 7th, MikeA (12th - 11th), Leylandii (13th= - 12th), Monkey Hanger 19th - 14th), NigeB (21st - 18th) and AngeB (23rd - 21st).
Outback Ozzy had to settle for the bare 3 points, but StanleyJosh just taking 1 increases Outback's lead at the top to 7 points
, while me picking up 4 allows me to hang on in 3rd
, now just 1 behind Josh.
Off on our travels next week, then, and I'll continue to refrain from saying anything about what might happen, seeing as how it worked today ......

On Stanley On!!
