Week 30 Results ASTON VILLA 4 DERBY 0 Four first-half goals win it for Villa, as they thumped a dire Derby who didn't have a shot on target. Nobody got this spot-on, but 8 did have the outcome. STOKE 2 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0 Stoke end their six-game winless run, as they put a dent in the Forest play-off hopes. Well done to Daniel for being the only one to have this spot-on, and 5 more got the outcome. 16 predicted a win for Forest. BRISTOL ROVERS 4 BLACKPOOL 0 Jonson Clarke-Harris netted a hat-trick as Rovers boosted their League One survival hopes. Nobody got this spot-on, though 9 did have the outcome. 17 predicted a victory for Blackpool. OXFORD UNITED 2 SCUNTHORPE 1 Oxford earn a vital 3 points in their bid to avoid the drop from League 1. A 92nd minute goal from Scunthorpe was good news for the 5 who had this spot-on, and another 12 got the outcome. FOREST GREEN 1 LINCOLN 2 John Akinde's brace cemented Lincoln City's grip at the top of League Two . A massive 10 got this spot-on, in what was the weeks most predicted score, and a further 10 had the outcome. NOTTS COUNTY 0 PORT VALE 0 County were forced to settle for a point in their crunch relegation clash in a game of few chances. Nobody had this spot-on, but 6 did get the outcome. 16 predicted a win for County. Another tough week to add to the many we have had this season. At least the 2-1 wins for Oxford and Lincoln helped to give a reasonable return of 16 spot-ons, and it was the two members who got 3 points for both of them who were the top performers this week. They were Colukev, who also had 3 outcomes to make him the weeks top scorer with an excellent 9 points, and basher2010, who just missed out on that honour, with a superb 8 points. Best of those who had one 3 pointer were sevebalo, Sector4 and Daniel who all got a decent 6 points. Double-figure scores After looking at the rather negative Firing blanks last week I thought it would be good to balance things up by looking at the number of double-figure scores members have had in the five seasons of my administration, and also the highest score achieved in that time. It has come up with an interesting stat that the ones top of each division are currently heading their leagues this season as well. Here are the results:- Premier........Double-figure scores......Highest score sevebalo.......................10...........................14 Great effort to be top here and the Premier Tropical_Us....................9............................14 That highest score was this season noah4x4.........................8............................13 That highest score was this season mfb_cufc........................7............................16 Has also scored 15 three times thrillseeker ....................7............................12 4 of the 7 were in his excellent 2017/18 season burnsieespana .............. 5............................13 Achieved in 4 seasons gsy163............................5............................11 An average of one a season RSCOSWORTH................5............................12 Had 3 in 5 weeks in the 2014/15 season eagledares .....................3............................14 Achieved in 2 seasons TheHappyGooner...........3............................10 Achieved in 2 seasons gerry_us.........................2............................11 I am surprised he hasn't had more mrhappy.........................7............................13 Achieved in just 3 seasons desthegooner.................2............................10 Achieved in 2 seasons (Before they formed to become TheHappyGooner) Division One Sector4..........................12...........................13 Excellent effort.

In a clear fourth remains Tropical_Us, as the other seven continue to be more concerned with being relegated than obtaining a Charity Shield spot. By having the Oxford 2-1 spot-on mfb_cufc heads that pack of seven, but by firing his first blank of the season burnsieespana drops back into the final relegation place again. With only 64 games left to the season gsy163 now has a mountain to climb to avoid the drop. In Division One By going a blind 2-1 all games Sector4 would be pleased with a return of 6 points, but the excellent weeks for his nearest pursuers basher2010 and Colukev - who moved back to third - continue to put pressure on him getting an automatic spot. Three outcomes for blueeagle keeps him in contention for the auto's, as he continues to do best of the newbies. This is another week where things remained much the same in the rest of the league, but the good Stoke 2-0 pick moved Daniel up a place, but more significantly 2 points nearer to the play-offs. After going 8 weeks without a 3 pointer concordman finally got one courtesy of the Lincoln 2-1, but by failing to add to his excellent haul of outcomes, didn't really improve his position. THE TABLES (216 out of 280 played) (Tie-breaker: Most 3 pointers, and then the first to post) Week 31 Fixtures picked by this weeks guest concordman BOLTON WANDERERS v MILLWALL BRISTOL CITY v LEEDS UNITED DERBY COUNTY v SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY MIDDLESBROUGH v BRENTFORD NOTTINGHAM FOREST v HULL CITY QUEENS PARK RANGERS v STOKE CITY READING v WIGAN ATHLETIC WEST BROMICH ALBION v IPSWICH TOWN GILLINGHAM v OXFORD UNITED CHARLTON ATHLETIC v PORTSMOUTH (17.30) Good luck everybody. | |
