HARROGATE TOWN 2 GRIMSBY TOWN 2
Kieran Green's wonder goal from inside his own half could not inspire League Two play-off hopefuls Grimsby to victory as Harrogate struck twice in the 85th and 87th minutes to salvage an unlikely draw, and take their unbeaten home run to nine games. Well done to Madeira163 for being the only one to get this spot-on, and 5 more had the outcome.
NEWPORT COUNTY 0 COLCHESTER UNITED 2
Colchester scored goals in the 88th and 94th minutes to earn a dramatic victory, and to move within a point of Grimsby in the final play-off spot, as Newport are now winless in five. Only unitedwhites and wessex_exile had this spot-on, and a further 15 got the outcome, with 10 going for a 1-0 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
Late goals, late goals, we just love late goals. Well you certainly do, if like most on this site do, support Colchester. Late goals put a different complexion on results almost every week, but probably never so much as they did this week. The late goals from Harrogate and Colchester changed a 5 point deficit to the play-offs for the U's, to a single point in the blink of an eye. Despite bringing the U's play-off hopes back to life, late goals didn't do some members any favours, with the Orient 3rd goal stopping the 8 who went for 2-1 getting 3 points. The Colchester 2nd goal stopped the 10 who went for a 1-0 having a spot-on, and the Harrogate equaliser foiled the 4 who predicted Grimsby to win 2-1. For the second time in five weeks we had the rare occurrence of every game having a 3 pointer, but only 14 in total. Those 3 pointers were shared out with 14 members getting one each. Only two of them had three outcomes, to share the honour of being the weeks top scorer, with a decent 6 points each. They were concordman, who got the Exeter 2-1, and BFG who had that good Oxford 1-0 prediction.
With just 20 games left to the season, here is a final look to how the season has gone so far. The 260 games have ended with 106 (40.77%) home wins, 83 (31.92%) away wins, and 71 (27.31%) draws. Considering random fixtures are chosen every week, all seasons come out virtually the same, and this one is no different. The top result remains the 1-1 with 40, and is certain to be top once again, as it is 11 ahead of the 1-0. The top result for an away is the 0-1 with 22.
In the Premier The late goals mentioned in the games above had a real influence on the top two, and it ended with blueeagle taking over at the top again, after he got the West Brom 2-1 spot-on. It was looking even better for him as he also had 2-1 wins for Orient and Grimsby. He takes over on the most 3 pointer rule from mfb_cufc, who also missed out by having 2-1 wins for Orient and Grimsby, as well as 1-0 for Colchester, but has to settle for just four outcomes instead. With everyone else bar one scoring either 3 or 4, there is no other change in this division. The bar one being concordman, and his top scoring performance has increased his chances of avoiding the drop.
In Division One There is no change with the top two both having the West Brom 2-1 spot-on, and one outcome, that means Lewis_1 maintains his 3 point lead over bwildered. Three outcomes for Jorash63, and he remains third. Just the one outcome for noah4x4, but it is enough for him to remain fourth. Another to get the West Brom 2-1 spot-on was Moor_Pinot, and he moves up a place to fifth. In Week 31 wessex_exile commented "As with the U's, I'm looking for a late run into the play-offs (or back into the play-offs in my case) - fingers-crossed!". Well he has kept his side of the bargain by moving up a place into the final play-off spot, after he had the U's 2-0 spot-on. Still 20 games for him to stay there, and lets hope it is an omen for the U's. Just the two outcomes for Tropical_Us, and he drops out of the play-off places for only the second time this season. The last time being in Week 12. The top scoring performance from BFG has put him right back into the play-off picture once again, to just within 2 points. A solid 5 points for durham_exile, that included having that Orient 3-1 spot-on, keeps him in contention for a top six finish. Just one outcome for Blue4U2 leaves him with a lot to do now.
