The single point for @StrongestTeam takes them to the top of the table, alone instead of being level points with @micra.
The big points scores are still available for getting the goalscorer(s) correct, just so long as we score. Even writing this adds to my feeling of tension and anticipation for today.
The two of us who did predict four goals in the Hudersfield game - myself and @our_frank came a cropper and lost four points due to application of the so called Realism Rule. I am glad that didn't happen for the first time late on the season.
@bookertease said:
Hang on. “Realism Rule?” Don’t remember seeing that. What did I miss?
The Realism Rule:
If you predict Wycombe to score 4 or more goals:
Score reduced by a number of points equal to the number of goalscorers you name minus the number of actual goals Wycombe score.
Otherwise it would be possible for say the late unlamented Argyle Phil to game the situation by naming our whole squad for an unrealistic 26 - 27 defeat.
Nobody predicted the Bloomfield goal - shame on us all.
It does mean
a) 12 points in the competition went begging - non forward + first goal of the season + sub
b) The Goalscorers Competition Table remains unchanged.
On towards the Stoke game - hopefully with some of us there.
With apologies to @DevC - I will start a new thread for the next two games. I run the risk of losing a prediction searching through lengthy threads.
@railwaysteve Can you wait for the Dubious Goals Panel? I hear that they are looking at whether Fred's initial effort crossed the line before Bloomfield made sure. ;-)
@our_frank - What! They would take away a record of scoring in 18 consecutive seasons and 3 different divisions for same club! Of course I will reconsider if necessary ;-)

Thanks @railwaysteve. Think it’s safe to say it’s not something I’ll have to worry about
