LAST MATCH



Our first game under DR and a similar tale, another defeat although a better performance but just toothless up front. We had a few chances, Windass heading over and Hendrick testing the Watford keeper. Onto the 2nd half and Hendrick headed over the bar then we won a penalty, only for the EFL, sorry linesman to intervene and the decision was reversed. Watford made a several subs and the last of these was to get the winner, Asprilla firing past Dawson.

THE MATCH



Next up and a nice long trip to Plymouth for a midweek game, thank you EFL Plymouth had made a decent start to the season, but have wobbled of late, winless in 4 and now currently lie in 21st place. Plymouth have basically the same squad as last season and also have the same manager unlike some other team I could mention. There leading scorer is Hardie with 5 goals & 3 assists, which is how many we have as a team, and which is the big difference of the teams, we have both conceded the same 19 but Plymouth have 18 goals to our pathetic 5.

2 points for correct result
4 points for correct score
2 points for each correct scorer
Correct joker doubles your score   (correct score on a joker would give you 8 points)
Wrong joker result gives you minus 2
Correct Random Badger gives you 2 points

The random badger is used for any random prediction used once in each matchday sequence. For instance, a scorer at a particular match, the number of red cards in the matches or yellow cards or own goals or owt you want really within reason, I do need to be able to check whether it's correct or not. Please don't put stuff like....."Commentator says...."  
The joker   is played for one match in each sequence and if correct you get double points. So if you've predicted 1-0 and it finishes 2-0, you get 4 pts, but if you've predicted 2-0, that's 8 pts. But if you get it wrong, it's minus 2.
Jokers and badgers are optional. You don't have to play one if you don't want.

The prize for winning the league is one rep point.

Cup games: In the event of a draw, it's half the points if you've predicted a draw when it gets to 90 mins and the full points if it's still a draw after extra time. Half the points will be awarded for correctly predicting the winner of the match if it goes to penalties. Similarly with the badger, if your random prediction is affected by this, it'll be half the points.

Random score generator: I will be using the random score generator again for those who miss predicting, so we shouldn't get some people too far behind that after missing a couple of weeks they lose all interest, because I know it's not easy getting on here every week.
To be fair to everybody, this is going to be like, say if three people in one week miss their predictions, the first one in the table will be given all 0-0, the second one down the line will get 1-0 and the third will get 0-1 and so on, like if there's four missing the 4th will get 1-1, then 5th 2-1, 6th 1-2. and if there are so many missing, might as well pack in.
And if you miss two weeks on the trot, I'll stop until you come back on again. Not doing it for half a season like I did t'other year.  

End of season Play Offs: The one who finishes top of the league will still be champion, but after the season finishes there will be Play Offs between the top 4, with 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd. This will take in stuff like the EFL Play Offs, FA Cup Final, final day of Prima Donna League, European Finals etc. It will be one matchday for the semis and one for the Final. It will be the individual scores for each matchday against the allotted opponent, with some kind of tie breaker for a drawn match.

The prize for winning will be enormous. Another rep point.

Hibs travel to Ibrox on Saturday desperate to improve their recent record there. Nick Montgomery seems to have instilled a new confidence and mental toughness in the Hibs' team and it will certainly be needed on Saturday. We have the flair and pace in attack and hope to put a sometimes shaky Rangers' defence under pressure. No doubt we will be playing against their twelfth man and maybe the relevant instructions will have not been received in time by the match officials.

As for Rangers, they might benefit from the new manager bounce as we did, but Phillipe Clement has not yet had much time to get the team playing his way. He says he is starting with a clean sheet with his players, so there might be a settling-in period, which could benefit us.

Now we are getting managers potted before we play them, it's usually afterwards

Millwall manager Gary Rowett has left the Championship club by mutual agreement after four years in charge.

The 49-year-old guided the club to top-half finishes in each of those years but was unable to secure them a place in the play-offs.

Rowett took over in October 2019 following a short stint at Stoke.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed being manager of Millwall and depart with a feeling that the club has progressed during my tenure," Rowett said.

A successor has not yet been appointed and assistant manager Adam Barrett will take charge of the team in the interim period.

My thoughts having seen us win two matches, and a moral boosting win against Italy, if we haven't shown the qulifiers for the finals, our way of playing and our robable best team, so they can analize how best to play against us - especially the best teams.

I do realize we'll be doing the same to them, so my question is, do you think we'll be good enough to overcome this scrutiny and progress to the final? 

I would like to hear what you guys think.
