Barnet - score prediction
Usual rules: zero points for conventional predictions.
Wycombe start with an ambitious 2-3-5 formation, full backs Saunders and Tyson being instructed to push on beyond the wingers as often as possible. With Wanderers playing an unprecedentedly high line, the first ten minutes are spent in the Barnet penalty area as the away team struggle to clear their lines using their trademark short passing game and with all eleven Wycombe players in their box. Eventually, a long hoof threatens danger as Barnet find themselves on the break with a three against none. Unfortunately for them, all three attacking players pull hamstrings simultaneously, adding to their injury woes and allowing Wycombe 'keeper Cowan-Hall to get back and collect the ball. After he puts the ball out of play to allow the trainer on, there is a considerable delay of 35 minutes as he reattaches the necessary tendons to allow the players to leave the pitch. In the 30th minute of this delay, the fourth official signals an additional 30 minutes of stoppage time. On the resumption five minutes later, Barnet sportingly throw the ball to Cowan-Hall who hits it first time to Bayo. Mackail-Smith latches on to the ensuing flick-on and is on the verge of a remarkable score, six seconds after the restart, when the referee blows for half-time.
The second half is less eventful, with Eze dominating the game and scoring a notable hat-trick. After the game, QPR announce that they will be releasing him to Wycombe with no fee at the end of his loan period in January and throwing in Matt Ingram. Gasroom worries that we will lack experience at the team's core with these two relatively inexperienced players and advocates turning down the deal and resigning Hayes and Thompson.
3-0

Should be a conventional 2-0 home win.
With conventional wisdom and the laws of physics dictating that you cannot play Eze and Saunders together, their pairing in midfield creates a tear in the fabric of space and time. Most of the players on the pitch are sucked into The Void, except for Bayo, whose muscular frame can withstand the gravity of a black hole. With no defence or keeper to beat, Wycombe's victory seems assured until the space/time rift means the Wycombe-Barnet game from September 1987 is played simultaneously and the Blues find themselves 7-0 down with only a minute to go. However, the bizarre warping of space-time turns seconds into hours and substitute Nathan Tyson is able to score 8 last-minute goals to steal victory, his winning goal struck from mid-18th Century but still rising as it hits the back of the net at light speed. Ainsworth is forced to use a midfield pairing of Andy Sandell and Stuart Green in subsequent matches to undo all the chaos and excitement caused by having two such creative forces at play simultaneously.
Bravo, @MindlessDrugHoover .
Poor Andy Sandell, all he wanted was to be a striker.
(1-0 Akinfenwa)
Mindless time machine allows Ainsworth to sign promising youngsters Gerrard andLampard on loan. Only one will play though. Like Eze and Saunders, those two couldn't play together.
@MindlessDrugHoover that is my top predication so far this seaon by a country parsec.
Having all-time top scorer status surely it’s obvious that Ainsworth will bring on Bodger who will score all the goals in a 7-0 victory
