WHC Update and Shrewsbury (a)
Oh dear.
Depressing result and bleak outlook. Perhaps not an unexpected outcome of the club not being financially able to replace the four seasoned pros that left in January.
Ho hum.
Anyway in our prediction league no correct scores, a handful of correct results and a fair few no predictions at all.
@OxfordBlue appears to have overcelebrated hitting the table top at the weekend and was too drunk to put in a prediction at all for this game. Nonetheless he stretches his lead.
Nine predictions left. Surely at least one will be a Wycombe win. Not this one though. Shrewsbury 2 Wyc 0.

I have made up a fair few spots with negative predictions for a while now, but no more. Shrewsbury 1-2 Wycombe. Come on you Chairboys!
I think this is the game where our luck changes too. Shrews 1-2 Wycombe
Shrewsbury 2-3 Wycombe
Thanks for the update @DevC
Shrewsbury Town 2 - 1 Wycombe Wanderers
2-1 to Wycombe. I believe.
2-1 Wycombe as well please. Hangover is clearing up.

Sounds rather unpleasant @mooneyman.
Haemorrhoids?
Shrews 2 Wycombe 0
Shrewsbury 2 - Wycombe 3 please, even though we never seem to play well in the wind.
2-0 Shrews over Chairfolk. Much wringing of hands and gloom to ensue.

@YorkExile I assume you always predict a loss so you can be pleasantly surprised?
Fingers crossed first and third never merge. Bit LXian I know but most should get it.
@railwaysteve: have just read your comment about @OxfordBlue keeping his position at the top despite (in common with others) not having made a prediction for Tuesday. Should failure to predict not incur a modest points deduction?
He doesn't to be fair. Indeed he is far from the most "negative" predictor. I am keeping a little tally on this and will reveal at the end of the season overall predicted points totals
and how that compares to actual WWFC points total. Hence as well as an overall predicting league champion, there will also be the Eric Morecambe prize to he who has best predicted all the right results but not necessarily in the right order......
Think this is down to me not @railwaysteve. There is this season a -2 point score for no prediction. However as second place @mooneyman and third place @ForeverBlue scored -4 and -3 respectively, the effect was that @OxfordBlue scoring -2 stretched his lead.
Actually as the main purpose of this competition is to raise money for Wycombe Homeless Connection, I am thinking that if we repeat this next season, I might get rid of the 2 pt penalty in order to remove disincentives to joining in from late starters. What do you think?
@Wendoverman I have actually predicted some positive results, but with inevitable consequences. Hence my position in the prediction league. Happy to keep predicting defeats until our form turns...
Shrewsbury 0 - Wycombe 1
Shrewsbury Town 0 Wycombe Wanders 2
Apologies @DevC ! I’d been wracking my brains (!) for some time over the likely attendance tomorrow and failed to make the mental switch.
Salop 1-1 Wycombe
I've posted on the other thread, but really hoping that anyone going tomorrow with a spare seat would be able to pick up a poor student from just outside Oxford?
I can get a bus from central Oxford to Wheatley services on the M40, so it wouldn't be out of the way at all. More than happy to contribute to petrol/parking, etc. Really don't want to miss this one! Can offer interesting conversation too
2-1 to Shrews, prove me wrong Blues!
Shrewsbury 2-1 Wycombe
Shrewsbury 1-4 Wycombe
