WHC Predictions score Update and Plymouth Away (home, actually)
A pretty unmemorable win but a valuable three points nonetheless.
Many correct result predictions with correct scores for @Chris and a first of the season for @Wendoverman. Well done folks. Just @Twizz and @Shev remain WDC correct score prediction virgins. better luck next week. Honourable mentions for @perfidious_albion with a correct result and especially @thedieharder with a correct score. He is quietly proving a good predictor on this and the crowd thread. let me know if you want me to start collating your scores (10 pound donation to WHC please)
At the top @ForeverBlue kicks on stretching his lead to four points.

I have long thought that we are frankly collectively pretty sh*t at predicting the results, so on a rainy evening I did a little research as to what score someone predicting all say 1-0 home wins or someone predicting all say 1-0 Wyc wins would have. I also calculated what score a monkey picking numbers at random between 0 and 3 for home and away would have.
it doesnt make great reading tbh. 3-2 and 1-0 home wins would lead us all, 1-1 draw joint lead and the monkey is better at predicting scores than 80% of us. I am going to start eating more bananas.

Next up Plymouth at home. They are starting to cover with midfielder Lameiras in a rich vein of form. as ever going to be a tough Monday if we lose. Only consolation would be 5 WDC points, so I'll go for a 1-2 loss.

2-0 to the Blues

I think I need a scoring refresher too, I seem to have gotten -2 for a correct result but wrong score. Is that right?
Wycombe Wanderers 2 Plymouth Argyle 1
I also predict Adams will be sent from the dugout. Can I have a bonus point if that happens?
Oops quite right @drcongo. I never was much good with spreadsheets and recorded your prediction as a 2-1 home win. 7 extra points for you taking you above Micra (and the Monkey). You’ll see it on next weeks table.
You can have one bonus point if you prediction proves correct @Jonny_King and two if you invade the pitch and kick him up the arse.
I’m not a picky person @DevC, as you know, but I was surprised to see that Wycombe District Council have taken over this League!!
Especially as WDC is expected to be defunct by April next year.
I’ve lost all faith in this league. It’s fixed.
I am great at predictions in a roundabout way - I always predict exactly what will not happen.
Wycombe 1-2 Plymouth.
Oh, and feel free to send someone round to punch me in the face if Plymouth win 2-1. My current strategy is to predict losses, because I am so awful at this, but it seems inevitable that now I have pointed out how bad I am, I will get one right!
Wycombe 1 - Plymouth 0
Being wrong continues for me. Plymouth 2 us 1
Wycombe 3-2 Plymouth
Is this you @Shev?

Moderately competent pickiness from @micra but he must surely be disappointed with himself not to have spotted that the title of this thread is incorrect. Next week of course is Plymouth (home) - except i suppose for those of us who live in Plymouth ..........
@DevC How does one enter?
Chairboys 1-0 Argyle
That old thing? Why yes, I can confirm Douglas R Kennedy is my nom de plume.
Strewth! I must be bloody doting.
I’ve compounded the felony. I honestly thought doting meant going doolally.
@DevC I knew this league was a stitch up. I correctly predicted the Sunny result, so I'm not actually a virgin anymore.
Wycombe 2 - Plymouth 0
3 - 0 Adams sent to stands.
@HomeGameRegular
You are a little too late to join the main league. (under the rules you would start on something like -60.). A coupe of guys have been predicting anyway in recent weeks which is fine.
The league is a fund raiser for Wycombe Homeless Connection so if you would like me to keep your score, could I ask you to make a £10 donation online to them. if @perfidious_albion and @thedieharder wish to, you could have a three team minileague starting from Plymouth.
Scoring system is 4pts home win, 5 away, 6 draw, 2pt bonus for correct score, one point lost per margin difference (you predict 1-0 home, result 3-1 away, score-3)
If enough interest, we will probably run again next season, so more than welcome to join up in the main league then.
2-0 wycombe win
Wycombe Wanderers 2 - 1 Plymouth Argyle
Wycombe 3 Plymouth 1
Wycombe 2 Plymouth 1
Wycombe 3 Plymouth 2 please
