Welcome back to the Prediction league for our 2nd season in League 1.

The same rules as previous years apply, shown below to avoid any confusion.

2 points for correct result (win/draw/lose) then if you predicted the result correctly, 1 point for each teams’ correctly predicted score, plus 1 bonus point if you predicted both teams’ scores correctly.

Incorrect result, zero points, even if you get one of the teams’ score correct.

Any player who hasn’t made a prediction for 6 consecutive games will be temporarily removed from the table. If they resume making predictions they will be reinstated into the table with all points intact.
All players will appear in the final table at the end of the season.

All league and cup/trophy games count.

Any cup/trophy game that plays extra time/penalties rather than a replay, the score at the end of normal time counts.

As always, if you spot an error please inform me (politely please, you know who you are

Looking forward to my usual mid-table season!

Thanks for your work Andy.

Game 1, 30 July, Shrewsbury Town at the Mazuma.

It was great to be back in the ground, the pitch looks fantastic, a large crowd, long may that continue.
A shame we didn't get 3 points though, if only the ref had allowed that last corner to be played.

35 predictions made, 4 of which were correct at 0-0.

If not too much of a pain in the bum, it would be interesting to see a 'played' or 'entered' as well, so we can see if people have missed entries?

Everyone in the league table made a prediction Keith. How I work it is each player stays in the league for 6 weeks after their last prediction.

You’ll be able to see who’s predicted each week by visiting the relevant game prediction thread.

Game 2, Peterborough Utd away, 6 Aug.

34 predictions made, by far the majority saw us losing, over a third saw us conceding 3 or more goals.

I predicted a 3-1 loss to Peterborough, do I not get 2 points for that, or am I not understanding the rules.

Oops, sorry, I’ll sort it when I get on my laptop, I’m away for a few days atm.
I’d say you’re missing 3 points.

Like I said at the top of the thread, if you see an error please let me know, I’m an aging, not into technology sort of guy so get it wrong at times.

Hi Mr Sakhalin. I accept I didn't make it clear, but Mrs A's prediction was for a Morecambe win, not FGR. You can tell I'm being honest as it puts her one point ahead of me

OK Phil, I did think twice but as you’d put the score in the format of a home win I discounted it.

Probably best to predict the score in the correct format in future to prevent any confusion.

I’ll correct Mrs A’s points tally.
