Best Of

The ref spent 2 minutes wittering at the players before every corner and long throw. Three added on was absolute bollocks.

Disagree there @Wycombe85

As both players have had a fantastic first half of the season and certainly in Aaron's case seem to be an excellent character with a good bond with the club and players...I would be very surprised if they are not motivated to end their loans (if they are ending) on a high note.

I think Morley will be well up for it.

If you read back in this thread to the ‘live’ gasroom punditry (always hilarious) there are “clearly a pen” and “clearly not a pen” comments, both from those at the game and those watching tv with the benefit of replays. In my recollection, the defender seemed to have two hands on Fred’s back, just inside the area with Fred moving away from the box, but was it really a penalty-conceding push, or all part of the physicality of the game? If there was a touch, did he go down to easily…?

Don’t expect a decision from me, I’m not a ref…

Someone will be on to soon say how it's OK because language evolves.

A well run football club which may providevariable standards of entertainment but is able to pay its bills.

Premier League. Bournemouth mark 2.

When are you next going to a game? Just out of interest like.

Strange comment to make about one of the top scoring teams in the country. With goals coming from all around the pitch. Don't think I've ever seen a Wycombe team that are more willing to take responsibility. Everyone looking for the ball, confident playing out from the back. Easy to criticise a player for not taking a shot...I did it in that instance. But not always easy to see how clear a shot on goal they had. Can't remember the three players involved. But I'm sure it wasn't a case of abdicating responsibility, at worst it was poor decision making. Guess they thought maybe incorrectly the player they were passing to would have a better chance of scoring.

Villa confirmed they are recalling Barry from Stockport ....massive blow for them

After the Bolton Home Game - Match 20

Lots of close predictions this game.

First one correction to the Shrewsbury game Leaderboard - As I posted in the Shrewsbury game attendance prediction thread I made a transcription mistake with @perfidious_albion's prediction. His correct score was 138 for that game (not 305). It of course makes a change of one place upwards in the Overall Leaderboard for the Shrewsbury game Leaderboard with a proper score of should have been 188.56.

Apologies to @perfidious_albion and thanks for graciously pointing out the mistake. Apologies to @mwite who of course keeps the same score but would move down one place in the table.

If made the change on the master copy before I made the BoIton Game changes. I won't post an updated Shrewsbury game Leaderboad and I hope everybody is ok with that - please post if you are not! The Bolton game Leaderboard was made with that alteration already incorporated.

Now the Updated Table with that alteration and the Bolton game scores:

Many congratulations to @DevC retaking the top of the table with the 3rd best score of the Bolton match. Tenth best scores counted fo the first time and some movements in the table are due to that, but not this change.

A mention for @Shev, whose upturn in form, and 2nd best prediction of the week, resulted in a huge 30 point reduction in score but only a single place up the table.

Congratulations to @perfidious_albion - Forecaster of the Week and the single digit score of 8 is a new personal best. Congratulations are due to @Manboobs and @Shev and to Chat gpt who also made personal best predictions for the season so far.

Nobody moved up five or more places.

Three forecasters already have sub 100 scores and now will never lose that status this season, as it is now the ten best predictions which count on this leaderboard for the rest of the season. Congratulations to @DevC, @NewburyWanderer and @wwfcblue for reaching that milestone before Christmas. Its going to be a good season.

There are several places in the table that are very tight. @ryan_w_kirkby2 leads @a40 by just five predicted people total, @BSE leads @mwite @a40by a single predicted person (!) and @Manboobs leads @Onlooker by four predicted people

Please don't forget the Christmas fixtures - both threads have been started.
