I see the tractor girls are violating the Community Stadium again today and (OK the spelling is wrong but…) I notice they have a player called J. Dear.
BURNLEY 2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 2 Cristian Romero rescued a point for Spurs with a 90th minute equaliser just as under-pressure head coach Thomas Frank faced further embarrassment. Well done to oxfcolu for being the only one to get this spot-on, and only unitedwhites and Tropical_Us had the outcome. 17 predicted a win for Spurs.
BLACKBURN ROVERS 1 WATFORD 1 Championship strugglers Blackburn fought back to earn a point against Watford, who lost ground on the Championship play-off places. 4 had this spot-on, and nobody got the outcome.
HULL CITY 2 SWANSEA CITY 1 Hull's fine form continued as they held off a spirited Swansea side to claim an entertaining victory. A great 8 got this spot-on, and a further 11 had the outcome.
LEICESTER CITY 1 OXFORD UNITED 2 Ailing Oxford boosted their Championship survival hopes with a clinical and fully deserved win over an abject Leicester. No points for anyone from this game, with everyone predicting a win for Leicester, and 11 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
DONCASTER ROVERS 3 WIGAN ATHLETIC 3 28 shots with 9 on target, but Doncaster somehow manage to blow a 3 goal lead, with ex-U's loanee Joe Taylor starting the Wigan fightback with their first goal. Nobody got this spot-on, but 4 did have the outcome (all going 1-1).
PORT VALE 1 EXETER CITY 3 Exeter extended their unbeaten run in League One to five matches with this win over bottom side Port Vale. Again nobody had this spot-on, though 12 did get the outcome.
STEVENAGE 1 MANSFIELD TOWN 1 Chem Campbell got a 96th minute equaliser for Stevenage to deny Mansfield another victory. A sublime 5 got this spot-on, and one more had the outcome.
MILTON KEYNES DONS 5 SHREWSBURY TOWN 1 Callum Paterson scored a hat-trick to help MK Dons record an emphatic victory. Another game with no 3 pointer, but 23 did get the outcome.
WALSALL 0 ACCRINGTON STANLEY 0 Promotion-chasing Walsall slipped two places to fifth in League Two as they were held to a scrappy bore-draw. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, and only unitedwhites had the outcome. The other 23 predicted a win for Walsall.
After last weeks bonanza, it was disappointing we couldn't follow it up with another one this week, as it proved to be another tough one, with five games failing to have a 3 pointer. At least the other four did produce 18 spot-ons in total, but with five games ending in draws, that was not good news for those who don't back games to end level. unitedwhites did fancy this weeks fixtures to produce a number of draws, by going for five to end that way, and he got his reward by having the ones at Blackburn and Stevenage spot-on, and the outcomes for Burnley and Walsall. He also had the Hull and Exeter outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer with an excellent 10 points. Three more members did well to get two 3 pointers, they were blueeagle who had the Blackburn 1-1 and the Hull 2-1, and two outcomes to give him a decent 8 points. Also RSCOSWORTH, who got the Hull 2-1 and the Stevenage 1-1, and oxfcolu, who had the Burnley and Stevenage draws. They each also got the MK Dons outcome, to give them both a very good 7 points. Best of those to have one 3 pointer were NME_cufc and wessex_exile, who both got the Blackburn 1-1, and Tropical_Us, who had the Hull 2-1. They each also got three outcomes, to give them all a good 6 points.
Happy Cup The details for the Semi-finals of this competition will be out at the beginning of February, as the 4th Round of the FA Cup doesn't start until Friday 13th February.
In the Premier By having the Hull 2-1 spot-on concordman increases his lead by those 3 points, to give him a healthy 10 point advantage. Two outcomes for Sector4 was enough for him to remain second, but only on the most 3 pointer rule from Jorash63, after he got four outcomes. The decent week for blueeagle moved him up a couple of places to fourth, as thrillseeker and ghughes11 both drop a place, despite the latter having the Hull 2-1 spot-on. The top scoring performance from unitedwhites moved him up couple places, for the second week running, to seventh. His highest position since Week 11. Along with the very good week for RSCOSWORTH, they have each suddenly moved 10 points clear of the bottom three, after both having been in there only three weeks ago. Just one outcome for bwildered and Daniel doesn't help either to escape. Another solid week for Lewis_1, that included getting the Hull 2-1 spot-on, continues to give him hope of escaping, but he is still 19 points from safety, and with less than a 100 games left to the season, time is running out.
In Division One Just the two outcomes for noah4x4, but he still holds a 25 point lead over durham_exile in the other automatic spot. The good week for Tropical_Us keeps him in third. After having the Stevenage 1-1 spot-on, BFG moved up a couple of places to fourth. His highest position since Week 13, when he was third. Despite getting the Blackburn 1-1 spot-on, Blue4U2 drops a place to fifth on the most 3 pointer rule. The very good week for oxfcolu moved him up a couple of places into the final play-off place for the first time this season. Three outcomes for basher2010, and four outcomes for gerry_us leaves them both within one point of the play-offs in seventh and eighth. The good week for wessex_exile keeps him contention for a top six finish.
THE TABLES (188 out of 280 played) (Tie-breaker: Most 3 pointers, and then the first to post)
Week 27 Fixtures
MILLWALL v SHEFFIELD UNITED PORTSMOUTH v WEST BROMWICH ALBION PETERBOROUGH UNITED v HUDDERSFIELD TOWN STOCKPORT COUNTY v PLYMOUTH ARGYLE GILLINGHAM v BROMLEY OLDHAM ATHLETIC v CAMBRIDGE UNITED
After our trip to the West Country, the U’s finally return to the JobServe on Saturday for the first of two home games in quick succession, with Pete Wild’s Fleetwood Town the visitors. Before we get to that though, a few words on last Saturday’s win at the Memorial Stadium. Being one of my easier awaydays this season, I didn’t miss the opportunity to join the 600+ faithful to watch a dominant U’s easily control most of the game. Southwood’s fingertips prevented Samson from giving the U’s a first half lead, Mbick’s audacious deft flick onto the inside of the post deserved more, and Samson should have nailed his chance after that.
The reality though was that despite our control, with the clock ticking down I had a nagging feeling we weren’t going to get the goal we deserved. However, cometh the hour cometh the man, and with five minutes to go Owura Edwards reminded us of the talent we know he has, cutting in from the left and blasting an unstoppable effort into the far corner – top bins indeed. The celebrations were insane!
The real downside though was Iandolo’s injury early in the game, which I fear will keep him out for a while. Credit to Frankie Terry, he did a fine job replacing him considering he’s more of a centre-back filling in, but there’s no glossing over it, for now at least we’ve lost one of the best left-backs in the league. More on that later.
Fleetwood Town are currently 15th in the league, five points behind the U’s, but with only one point from their last four games, and only 12 points from their last ten games (compared to our 21 points). Most seasons that would be borderline relegation form, but with the bottom six already adrift and in such poor form I don’t think there’s any chance they’ll join that party. They’ve conducted a bit of business so far in the transfer window, with Ryan Graydon going to Salford for a fee (who then scored a brace on his home debut in their FA Cup win over Swindon), and their second choice goalkeeper David Harrington also sold for a fee to Bolton Wanderers. However, probably the most notable move in relation to the U’s is loaning recalled Josh Powell from Forest after he struggled to break into the U’s starting XI. Ironically, Josh is a left-back, and could have been seen as decent cover for Iandolo – the benefit of hindsight being a wonderful thing I suppose? They generally play a 3-5-2 formation, or variations thereof, so it’ll be interesting to see if our pace down the flanks can take advantage of that.
As to our line-up for Saturday, apart from Iandolo’s replacement, the big question mark will be over Mbick. Brighton have made at least two offers to Charlton, the most recent reportedly £3.5m with add-ons. We all know that even if they do sign him, there’s only two teams he can play for this season, loaned back to us or loaned back to Charlton. However, I’m not certain Charlton will sell him, and Managing Director Jim Rodwell, in charge of transfer activity at the Valley, said as much at an online forum this week.
“I’m not going to particularly comment on who bid what and for who. No-one will leave unless the deal suits Charlton. There is no pressure to sell our assets. There is always a number where someone comes with an offer for a player where you go ‘crikey, let’s get a car – let’s go’. We’ve not been anywhere near that point. We’re hopeful of Micah being in the first-team at Charlton Athletic in the Championship scoring goals for us. That is where the real value is.”
That’s reassuring to hear, and gives me hope he’ll stay, despite his apparent absence from training during the week. As a result, I’m going to stick with broadly the same line-up as last Saturday, with Frankie Terry slotting into left-back in place of Iandolo. Alternatively, if not Frankie Terry, I guess it’s possible that Jack Baldwin or even Sam Kuffour Jr could fill in, but that’s still trying to fit a centre-back shaped peg into a left-back hole.
Fleetwood are one of those sides who win a few, lose a few, never quite hitting the right form to challenge for the play-offs, but avoiding the sort of calamitous runs to drop into the danger zone. We should also bear in mind that Fleetwood have the chance to do the double over the U’s, after our 4-2 walloping at Highbury back in September. That being said, we really should have enough about us tomorrow to register our third win on the bounce, and potentially, depending on results elsewhere, even sneak into the play-offs.
The U’s to win 3-0, with Jack Payne getting the party started in the first half, and Tovide and Edwards off the bench wrapping things up.
The weather forecast for tomorrow looks very fair, with sunny intervals and no rain expected. The temperature will be about 7-8 degrees, though in a moderate breeze from the east-south east whipping in through the corners, it’ll feel a few degrees colder than that.
Last night Forest managed to score an own goal, get someone sent-off and miss a penalty, whilst losing 1-0 away to Braga. They are probably on their way out of Europe and they have a delightful owner that spits at match officials. The travelling Forest fans couldn’t even get some relief in the way of winter sun, because the weather there is atrocious at the moment.
The game was played in the amazing Estádio Municipal de Braga, which is well worth Googling. It’s only got two stands, but what they lack in numbers, they make up for in style. Behind the goal at one end is a massive rock face with a huge scoreboard perched on top. The two opposing stands look to have enormous canvas roofs that are held up by wires that cross above the pitch. It’s known locally as ‘The Quarry’ and it’s quite something.
Always interested in what opposition fans are thinking? Here are links to all unofficial forums across League 2. A few clubs have more than one, some none at all, so where appropriate I have included alternative Facebook groups. Please let me know if you find any broken links, or indeed any alternative message boards I’m not aware of.
Bristol Rovers Not surprising given it’s Bristol, and the Gas have a very large fanbase, there are two forum, GasChat and GasHeads. GasChat is the more popular, though they’re both quite busy. https://gaschat.co.uk/ https://gasheads.org/
Bromley Bromley’s forum is members only, even to view, and I couldn’t be bothered to register. Help yourself if you wish. https://bromleyfc.boards.net/
Fleetwood Town Fleetwood Town do have a forum of sorts, but activity on it is almost zero. Last post when I checked was December 3rd last year. If you’re into Facebook, they get much more traffic on there, and it’s a public group. https://codarmyforum.freeforum https://www.facebook.com/group
Harrogate Town Harrogate Town do have a forum as such, but it’s just tumbleweeds – last post in December 2021. They do have a private Facebook group, so you’d have to apply for membership, which I haven’t done, so I have no idea whether it would be worth it. https://harrogatetownfc.forumo https://www.facebook.com/group
Milton Keynes Dons As well as the Concrete Roundabout (aka Sit down or we’ll steal your club), MK Dons also have a public Facebook group, but the former is where 99.9% of the chat takes place. https://www.sitdownorwellsteal https://www.facebook.com/group
Oldham Athletic Again, two forums, and whilst the OWTB forum is much the busier, the OAFC Message Board still sees quite a bit of traffic, albeit it is one of the old skool thread view forums, so not so easy to use. https://www.owtb.co.uk/forum/1 https://members.boardhost.com/
1 Chelsea v Manchester City or Arsenal 2 Sunderland v Queens Park Rangers or Brighton & Hove Albion or West Bromwich Albion 3 Stevenage v Newcastle United or Crystal Palace 4 Oxford United or Colchester United v Manchester United or Derby County 5 Norwich City or Burnley v Charlton Athletic 6 Leeds United or Swansea City v Coventry City or Blackburn Rovers 7 Fleetwood Town or Aston Villa v Southend United or Wrexham 8 Everton or West Ham United v Ipswich Town
LEEDS UNITED 1 FULHAM 0 Lukas Nmecha came off the bench to score a 91st-minute winner as a dominant Leeds ended Fulham's six-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. 3 got this spot-on, and a further 12 had the outcome, all going for a 2-1 in what was equally the weeks most predicted score.
SUNDERLAND 2 CRYSTAL PALACE 1 Brian Brobbey scored a second-half winner as Sunderland recovered from a goal down and end a five-match winless run in the Premier League. A magnificent 7 had this spot-on, and another 10 got the outcome.
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 0 PORTSMOUTH 1 Adrian Segecic's second-half strike was enough to help Portsmouth edge to victory. A sublime 5 got this spot-on, and a further 6 had the outcome.
STOKE CITY 0 QUEENS PARK RANGERS 0 Stoke passed up an opportunity to claw themselves back into the Championship play-off places as they were held to an uneventful bore draw. Nobody had this spot-on, and only unitedwhites and bwildered got the outcome. The other 22 predicted a win for Stoke.
WREXHAM 1 NORWICH CITY 2 Norwich's resurgence under Philippe Clement continued as they ended Wrexham's five-game winning run. Only blueeagle and BFG got this spot-on, and nobody had the outcome. 19 predicted a win for Wrexham.
BARNSLEY 2 BLACKPOOL 1 Veteran striker David McGoldrick ended his 16-game wait for a league goal with a double – including a 93rd minute winner – in Barnsley's win. A massive 12 had this spot-on, in what was the weeks other most predicted score, and another 3 got the outcome.
LUTON TOWN 2 LINCOLN CITY 2 Resurgent Luton hit back from 2-0 down to draw with second-placed Lincoln. Well done to oxfcolu for being the only one to get this spot-on, and 3 more had the outcome.
CRAWLEY TOWN 1 NOTTS COUNTY 2 Second-half goals from Jodi Jones and Alassana Jatta gave Notts County their first league win in five games as they beat 10-man Crawley. A great 8 had this spot-on, and a further 10 got the outcome.
GRIMSBY TOWN 1 BARNET 0 Grimsby maintained their winning start to the new year with a triumph over 10-man Barnet. 4 got this spot-on, and another 15 had the outcome.
SWINDON TOWN 2 SALFORD CITY 3 Kallum Cesay's winner completed a five-goal thriller to bring Salford level with Swindon on points. Nobody had this spot-on, and only mfb_cufc and NME_cufc got the outcome. 17 predicted a win for Swindon.
After the last two weeks had hardly produced a point, and it felt like the Happy League had gone into a winter break, it was good to get back on track in a big way this week. With an exceptional 42 spot-ons, in a weeks 189 total points, this was the second best week of the season so far. It also produced a unique week where every member got at least one 3 pointer. In fact thirteen managed to get at least two, with the top performance coming from concordman, who was the only one to get four, the wins for Sunderland, Portsmouth, Barnsley and Notts County, and the Leeds and Grimsby outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer with a magnificent 14 points. Three members did well to have three 3 pointers, with the best coming from BFG, who got the wins for Portsmouth, Norwich and Grimsby, and three outcomes to give him a superb 12 points. Also RSCOSWORTH, who had the wins for Portsmouth, Barnsley and Notts County, and oxfcolu, who got the wins for Leeds and Notts County and the Luton 2-2. They each also had two outcomes, to give them both an excellent 11 points. Best of those to get two 3 pointers were blueeagle who had the wins for Norwich and Barnsley, and noah4x4 who got the wins for Leeds and Barnsley. They each also had three outcomes, to give them both a marvellous 9 points. Best of those to have one 3 pointer were Sector4, who got the Sunderland 2-1, and unitedwhites, who had the Notts County 2-1. They each also got a good six outcomes, to give them both a marvellous 9 points.
In the Premier Plenty of points scored, but little change to overall positions. The top scoring performance from concordman enhanced his position at the top, to give him the biggest lead he has held this season, at a time when the pack were closing in. After a good week, Sector4 will be disappointed to fall further behind, but he remains second. A decent week for Jorash63, that included having the wins for Notts County and Grimsby spot-on, keeps him in contention in third. In fact the top seven places remained the same as last week. It was at the bottom where a significant change took place. The bottom three have remained the same for the last nine weeks, and RSCOSWORTH has been there since Week 2. 13 points in Week 22 moved him a lot closer to safety, and then another excellent one this week finally got him out of the relegation zone, as he moved up a couple of places. The marvellous week for unitedwhites also moved him up a couple of places, and out of the bottom three. Their places have been taken by bwildered and Daniel, who both drop into the relegation zone for the first time this season.
In Division One Plenty of points here as well, but again very little change from last week. A marvellous week for noah4x4 has reignited his chance of breaking the 3 pointers in a season record, and the magic 200 points still looks on with still over 100 games left to achieve it. With durham_exile and Tropical_Us both getting the wins for Sunderland and Barnsley spot-on, they remain second and third. Decent weeks for Blue4U2, having the wins for Portsmouth and Barnsley spot-on, and basher2010, another to get the wins Sunderland and Barnsley spot-on, moved them both up a place to fourth and fifth. The superb week for BFG moved him up a place, and back into the final play-off spot, he last held in Week 14. Despite having the Notts County 2-1 spot-on, gerry_us drops three to seventh. The excellent week for oxfcolu couldn't move him up, but more importantly he moves to within 3 points of the play-offs. A decent week for wessex_exile, that included having the wins for Sunderland and Barnsley spot-on, keeps him in contention for the play-offs.
THE TABLES (179 out of 280 played) (Tie-breaker: Most 3 pointers, and then the first to post)
Week 26 Fixtures This is now a 9 game week to make up for the postponed fixtures in Week 24.
BURNLEY v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR BLACKBURN ROVERS v WATFORD HULL CITY v SWANSEA CITY LEICESTER CITY v OXFORD UNITED DONCASTER ROVERS v WIGAN ATHLETIC PORT VALE v EXETER CITY STEVENAGE v MANSFIELD TOWN MILTON KEYNES DONS v SHREWSBURY TOWN WALSALL v ACCRINGTON STANLEY
After back-to-back postponements Danny Cowley takes his well-rested squad down the M4 to face Bristol Rovers. Whilst we haven’t played since the stoppage time victory over MK on New Year’s Day, the Pirates also had their two league fixtures postponed but did return to action with a 4-3 defeat at home against League One Plymouth in the EFL Trophy.
With no recent first team action in a while it’s not easy to predict who will play tomorrow but, as far as I know, apart from long term absentees our only injury concern is Bishop so I’m expecting the U’s to line up as follows:
Macey
Vincent Young Tucker Araujo Iandolo
Bishop Read
Lisbie Edwards
Payne
Mbick
Subs
Smith Hunt Goodwin Tovide Terry Gape Williams
I think Bishop is likely to be in the squad it’s just whether he starts or not. If he doesn’t start I expect Hunt to take his place in the starting XI.
The Gas were relegated from League One last season and didn’t get off to a great start in League Two but a run of five wins in six matches helped them to 17 points and seventh by the end of September. An incredible 10 consecutive losses in the league would follow as they dropped into the bottom two resulting in Darrell Clarke getting the boot. The ever unpopular Steve Evans was given the task with saving their season and has managed one win, one draw and two defeats (both at home) in his four games in charge. Bristol Rovers reportedly have one of the biggest playing budgets in League Two so it’s a bit of a surprise to see them struggling, a bit like Carlisle last season, but I do expect them to be much improved in the second half of the season and I can see them finishing somewhere around mid-table. When they came to the Jobserve earlier on in the season they were on a four match winning run but we were the better team on the day and they were lucky to escape with a draw. According to the BBC, it’s just five wins against seven in our 16 meetings across all competitions but one of those wins was the incredible 5-4 victory at Layer Road on the 8th January 2000. If you have an hour or so to spare you can relive one of the greatest comebacks in the history of Colchester United.
MATCH REPLAY: Colchester United 5-4 Bristol Rovers 08/01/2000
I’m not sure there are any players in the current Bristol Rovers squad who have figured for the U’s. Even though he lost my respect with the way he forced a move out of the club, we can’t really talk about Col U and Bristol Rovers without mentioning Jamie Cureton and his time at Col U were arguably two of the greatest seasons in our history. Off the top of my head I can’t think of too many other players that have played for both the U’s and The Pirates but big Sam Walker did have a loan spell there before his time at Col U, Scott McGleish also spent time there towards the end of his career in the football league (it continued for a fair while outside of the football league). Please feel free to add any others.
The weather at the Memorial Stadium is set to be dry and sunny with a gentle breeze and a high of nine degrees. Pretty good footballing weather for January. I think Bristol Rovers are still a bit fragile and despite some rustiness from not playing I’m going for a 2-1 U’s win with Mbick and Payne grabbing the U’s goals.
No agenda here, just a revisit of a music thread I recall doing back in the day. Let's start with what you consider to be a top cover of a classic song. I have loads on my list, but to kick things off, here's my first contribution.
For those not familiar with how it works, just find what you want on YouTube, click "Share", copy the link and post it here.
Those of you that watched the Beyond 90 Minutes feature with former goalkeeping coach Yilmaz Aksoy may recall that there was a piece on it about teamsheets now having to be submitted to the officials electronically, rather than on paper.
We'll there's now been a balls up in a game with Swindon naming a wrong player in their teamsheet. It'll be interesting to see how the EFL deal with it.
With the news that some members sadly passed away in 2025 (and others have chosen to leave), I thought it might be nice to check who's still around. We have plenty of lurkers, and the Happy League remains popular, but not so many contributors to posts these days.
Drop a quick reply if you're still reading the forum in 2026!
(Apologies for the title - it's something I often see in YouTube comments when revisiting old videos, and thought it was appropriate!)
With the 2 Col U matches postponed over the last week or 2, I came across this Col U related Podcast on YouTube and gave it a listen.
I have not listened to any of the Match Reviews. However, I have listened to the 'Past and Present' features with Izzett, Duguid and Halford and thoroughly enjoyed them. The one with Kem was very honest! I still have the Frank Nouble one to go.
Here are the links. Have a listen and see what you think:
BRADFORD CITY v ROTHERHAM UNITED POSTPONED Due to a frozen pitch
LEYTON ORIENT 1 CARDIFF CITY 1 A 12th league goal of the season from Yousef Salech earned Cardiff a draw, after a 12th league of the season from Dom Ballard had given Orient the lead. No points for anyone from this game, as 22 predicted a win for Cardiff, and the other 2 went for an Orient victory.
PETERBOROUGH UNITED 3 BOLTON WANDERERS 1 Peterborough's rise up the League One table continued as they defeated sixth-placed Bolton. Nobody had this spot-on, but 8 did get the outcome.
ACCRINGTON STANLEY v BARNET POSTPONED Due to a frozen pitch
CREWE ALEXANDRA 1 HARROGATE TOWN 1 Tom Cursons netted a 93rd minute leveller for bottom club Harrogate as they claimed an unlikely draw. Well done to unitedwhites for being the only one to get this spot-on, and nobody had the outcome, as everyone else predicted a win for Crewe, with 12 going for a 2-0 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
OLDHAM ATHLETIC v NOTTS COUNTY POSTPONED Due to a frozen pitch
TRANMERE ROVERS 0 BROMLEY 2 Michael Cheek struck twice as Bromley maintained their impressive run of form with their seventh consectutive league win. Only Sector4, Lewis_1 and oxfcolu had this spot-on, and a further 12 got the outcome.
I thought we may be in danger of losing all this weeks fixtures when Storm Goretti hit the country, but in the end we lost three games due to the deep freeze that preceeded the storm. As for the four games that did survive. most members probably wished they had been called off as well, as it was only the Bromley 2-0, that gave us 21 of the weeks 32 total points. proving easy to predict. In fact it was only the outcomes from Bromley and Peterborough that gave 16 members their solitary one point. It was two of the four members, who got a 3 pointer, sharing the honour of being the weeks top scorer with unitedwhites and Lewis_1 both getting an outcome each to give them both a useful 4 points.
On a quiet week I thought I would see how the season is going. Things have changed a little since I last looked five weeks ago. The 169 games have finished with 88 (52.07%) homes, 49 (28.99%) aways, and 32 (18.94%) draws. The change has seen the homes drop about 4%, and aways increase by that 4%. The top result is now a tie between the 1-0 and the 2-1, both with 17. Followed by the 1-1 on 15. The surprise fourth continues to be the 3-1 with 14. Best for an away is the 0-2 and 1-2 with 12 each.
Week 26 will now be a nine game week to make up for the postponed fixtures in Week 24.
In the Premier In such a low scoring week there is not much to report. At the top the Bromley outcome kept concordman there for another week, but his lead has been cut to just 2 points by Sector4, who moved up a place into the runner-up spot once again, thanks to having the Bromley 2-0 spot-on. Just the Bromley outcome for Jorash63, and he drops back to third. There are no changes to the rest of the division, but a special mention for the bottom two, as the top scoring performace from unitedwhites and Lewis_1 greatly improved their chances of survival. Two weeks ago the former was 7 points from safety, but the 7 points he has got since, has moved him to within a point of safety, and the later was 24 points to safety, but after 8 points in the last two weeks, has cut the deficit to a more manageable 16 points.
In Division One With ten of the twelve members getting one point, it is only the other two that caused a change. With Blue4U2 taking advantage of basher2010 firing a blank, to move up a place, and oxfcolu moving up a place, after getting the Bromley 2-0 spot-on.

My Spireite mate Craig reports that Saturday's game is already postponed due to a frozen pitch. Nothing that I've seen on our social media channels yet.
One for Wessex. There is a Great British Rail Sale on until 12th January for VERY cheap railway tickets between 12th January and 25th March. Might save you a few quid
