Accrington Web - 2016/17 Prediction League; Game 42 v Blackpool (away)

Cautious Kiwi Closes The Gap

There was a bit of caution in the air as Stanley travelled to Blackpool seeking to extend their unbeaten run to a record 14 in a single League 2 season :eek:, with 6 of you predicting we wouldn’t make it :( and 5 clambering onto the fence. The record was achieved :) and the fence-sitters rewarded, though none took the max 5 points available. Kiwi John was the highest-placed sceptic, and his 3 points took him above Mab again into second place, still 6 adrift of AccyMad who was one of 7 picking up a single point. Revived Red positively stormed :D into the Top Ten, up from 13th to 10th, with Div3North (now, how shall I put this :confused:) giving up his place in the elite with characteristic good grace ;). Of the other 3-pointers, Football19 moved from 17th to 15th, Stevie R from 19th to 18th and Winstanley asfc remained in 26th but got closer. None of the single point gains were enough to cause changing places elsewhere in the table.

With 4 games to go we are down to 13 possible Prediction League champions, Monkey Hanger being the least likely. 7 more will drop off the list on Monday if they don’t close in on AccyMad, who I’m guessing won’t be predicting anything but a Stanley win ……. :rolleyes:

So it’s roll on Creepy Crawley. On form we should be fine :eek:, but then on form Luton shouldn’t have been held by Leyton Orient :) and Morecambe shouldn’t have done Stevenage :) yesterday. But those results and others were fine by us - four games to go and we’re still in it :D.

On Stanley On!!
