Prediction League – Game 22; v Crewe Alex (home)

Shaun Miller back from injury and Clayton Donaldson back from his 3 match suspension isn’t good news; they’ve got 28 goals between them, whereas their temporary replacements (AJ Leitch-Smith and the ‘reluctant to sign a new contract’ winger Byron Moore (14 goals in 140 games in 3 ½ years)) have only 9 between them ……….

Since the Boxing Day game was postponed, they’ve played 10 times, winning 5 and drawing one; their last seven games have resulted in wins at home over Port Vale and Bradford City, both by 2-1, and a draw at Gresty Road against Gillingham last time out (1-1), but four defeats in four away games

(2-1 at Torquay, 3-2 at Aldershot, 6-2 at Northampton and 3-1 at Rotherham); they currently lie 9th on 42 points from their 29 games, but with 2 games in hand on the two sides above them – Oxford on 44 and Gillingham on 46.

They did little in the transfer window, except to loan Calvin Zola to Burton and to sign keeper Steve Phillips to the end of next season.

34 games in all competitions have resulted in 64 goals scored and 53 conceded; they’ve been involved in 6 games where 6 or more goals have been scored (7-0 at home to Barnet, 3-3 at home to Torquay, 5-5 at Chesterfield, 4-2 at Macclesfield, 3-3 at Stockport and 2-6 at Northampton), and they’ve had 14 different goal scorers; ex York City and Hibernian striker Clayton Donaldson has 16, home-grown strike partner Shaun Miller 12, Ashley Westwood and Byron Moore have 5 each, and AJ Leitch-Smith (who’s been with the club since he was 7, and doesn’t look much older now) and ex Morecambe and Chester defender David Artell both have 4. For us, Terry Gornell has 10, and “Red Card” McConville and Sunbeds have 7 each …………

The deadline for entries is, as ever, scheduled kick-off time, which is 7.45pm on Tuesday 22nd February. We haven’t won in 4; they’ve lost four consecutively on the road; we’ve had a 7-4 win, they’ve had 7-0, 5-5 and 2-6; good for a draw? Home banker? Moody away win? Last season, remember, it was 5-3

and 1-5

....... If you want to change your original prediction, please feel free ……. If you haven’t guessed yet, now’s the time to do it ……….. Get your predictions down (if you’ll pardon the expression)

; go for it!

Good luck to everyone ………… and thanks for playing!
