10 points to @Manboobs if that actually happens in the Forest game - it is so unlikely - referees at this level absolutely don't make that sort of mistake.
I’ll take them as scant consolation should we lose three points to such an injustice.

When you say “an insanely good team” @ForeverBlue (adjectives I’ve not previously seen to describe a team) I infer that you mean that they are arguably the most talented group of players, individually, in the Championship but that no permutation of those players has yet equalled or exceeded the sum of their parts. In effect, the complete opposite of Wycombe (at least since we got the “friendlies” out of the way!).
Exactly, Forest have probably the best squad in the championship this season but are lying near the bottom of the table. Wycombe come at the league from the opposite extreme....team spirit and no ‘highly paid stars’.
Tonight's game - 22 predictions in from those competing in both competitions. At the moment it is evenly balanced with 6 for a 2nd Wycombe win of the season, 11 for a draw and 5 for a home win.
I go Birmingham City 2 Wycombe Wanderers 2 (Akinfenwa, Jacobson)
Congratulations alphabetically to @a40, @Alexo, @drcongo, @Errol_Sims, @ForestBlue, @micra, @SmiroludyBlue and @StrongestTeam who all predicted Scotty Kashket to score. Nobody predicted the own goal on this occasion. @Micra was the only person to predict Fred to score and can feel himself a little unlucky despite being joint top of the table.
Also I have some sympathy with those who predicted JJ to score.
Please don't forget to predict for the Forest game on Saturday.
Thanks @drcongo, and please accept my apologies. I must have used the scorers for your Forest game for the Birmingham game. I guess that means there are some commiserations for Fred not being credited either goal.
I just missed the 1 hour deadline to edit the post so here is a revised table without those points.
Absolutely killed my league position, but I'd rather get points on merit like Wycombe Wanderers, than conjure some up out of nowhere like Peterborough wanted to do.
Who would have thought we'd be above Derby after ten games. BrianClough, PeterTaylor, Joan your boys are taking a hell of a beating.....(I'll get my coat).
In a dramatic twist, Previous leader @chris has though launched multiple legal actions to prevent the scores from this match being counted....
Looks to me like - from those who are predicting in both competitions - 8 for the home win, 8 for an away win and 8 for the draw. Surprisingly enough the bookies don't agree with us!
This game - 1.3 away goals per forecaster.

Enjoy the City Ground @bluntphil That would have been a wild return to West Bridgford for me!

You're going to have to take those points off me @railwaysteve
Nottingham Forest 1 - 1 Wycombe (Kashket)

Nottingham Forrest 0 - Wycombe 2 (Kashkett, Wheeler)
New leader takes over. Well done @MindlessDrugHoover
Well done to to @drcongo , @a40 and @Erroll_Sims for getting the correct score.

I’m complaining to the FA that Kashket was offside. And I’m going to write about it in my local newspaper column for the foreseeable future.
At last the decisions are starting to go in our favour. We’re on a roll. Roll on Saturday.
Forest 1-4 Wycombe
For the first time in my life I'm beating the bookies.
Forest 1-0 Wycombe
Forest 2 - 2 Wycombe (Fred, Bayo)
Forest 2 Wycombe 0
Nottingham Forest 2 (O'Neill, Knockaert) - Wycombe Wanderers 2 (Knight, Onyedinma)
A point would be an absolutely fantastic result
The Forest from Nottingham 3 -0 The Wanderers from Wycombe
(I am reliably informed from sources on here that Forest have the highest calibre of players of football in our particular competition)
Forest 1 Wycombe 2 (Kashket & Horgan)
I really can't decide today, so I'm going to sit on the fence.
Forest 1 Wycombe 1 Kashket
Is time for a Dobson sequence:
Nottingham Forest 1 Wycombe Wanderers 3 (Akinfenwa, Kashket, Mehmeti)
I will post an update on predictions before kick off, apologies for not sooner, too much fascination with the election across the Atlantic.
Looks to me like - from those who are predicting in both competitions - 8 for the home win, 8 for an away win and 8 for the draw. Surprisingly enough the bookies don't agree with us!

Latest score update. Just the one correct score prediction.
Next game in a fortnight.
