  HTAFC Prediction League 2022/23 Matchday 37 - Penultimate week
Posted by: Lord Snooty - 23-04-2023, 21:59 - Forum: Huddersfield Town - Replies (13)

2 points for each correct scorer
Correct joker doubles your score   Laugh    
Wrong joker result gives you minus 2
Correct Random Badger gives you 2 points Badger

The random badger 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...."  Rolleyes
The joker  Laugh 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. Wink
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.  Rolleyes

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. Whistle

LAST TIME OUT



It is always good for keepers to score late goals especially this lot

MANAGER

Jon Dahl Tomasson (Danish pronunciation: [ˈtsʰomæsʌn]; born 29 August 1976) is a Danish football manager and former player who is the current head coach of EFL Championship club Blackburn Rovers.

A forward, his most notable run of football came in his first stint at Feyenoord, with whom he won the 2002 UEFA Cup, and Italian club AC Milan, with whom he won the UEFA Champions League in 2003 and reached the final in 2005. He also played top-flight football in England, Germany and Spain. He is the joint all-time top goalscorer for the Denmark national team with 52 goals in 112 games and was also honoured with the Danish Player of the Year award in both 2002 and 2004. He played at the UEFA European Championship in 2000 and 2004 and the FIFA World Cup in 2002 and 2010.

After his playing career, Tomasson went into coaching, being both assistant and manager in the Netherlands, before becoming assistant manager in the Denmark national team under Åge Hareide. In 2020, Tomasson became the manager of Malmö FF and left two years later after winning the Swedish championship for two consecutive seasons. In June 2022, he signed a three-year deal at Blackburn Rovers.

Going back to the early 1990's this used to be one of my watering holes, basically it was on the border between us and them support was split but you accepted the fact their supporters needed special needs help.
Anyway along comes Uncle Jack with his money and the fairweather North End supoorters suddenly became glory hunters and switched sides. Deserving of life behind bars .
This means more than the Blackpool game cannot stand them

In The Dressing Room

An update on team news will be provided in the pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s game.

A Look At Our Visitors

Heading into the weekend’s round of fixtures, Blackburn Rovers are occupying the final Play-Off position, but come Saturday’s 5.30pm kick-off the table may look differently.

Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side have been in the top six pretty much all season long, but one win in their last seven games has seen other clubs close the gap on the Play-Off spots.

Rovers have some tough games coming up between now and the end of the season too, with their final three matches after Saturday being against sides in the top five of the division – including fierce rivals and league leaders Burnley.

Going Head To Head


Games played: 110
PNE wins: 46
Draws: 30
Blackburn Rovers wins: 34
Last meeting: Blackburn Rovers 1-4 PNE, 10th December 2022

One To Watch

Academy graduate Hayden Carter is enjoying his best year with Rovers yet, having featured over 30 times in all competitions this term.

The central defender spent last season on loan with League One side Portsmouth and he returned to Ewood Park a better player for it.

Having become a regular in the heart of defence, Carter was rewarded with a long-term deal at the end of March 2023, keeping him with Rovers until June 2027.

Match Officials

Premier League official Rob Jones will be the man in the middle this weekend.

It will be the first time Jones has taken charge of North End since February 2022 – a goalless draw at Deepdale against Huddersfield Town.

Jones has officiated 25 games so far this campaign, showing 97 yellow cards in that period, and he will this weekend be assisted by Constantine Hatzidakis and Wade Smith, while Jeremy Simpson will be on fourth official duties.

MACS VIEW

The strange land that is the Champonship provides another 6 pointer on Saturday given our last two results it is just mad that if we win this one we go above them in the table, personal view this is the last chance saloon for us also would be nice to take 6 points from them this season. My last Saturday game  as cricket starts next week.

  Saint Johnstone v Hibs, Sat 22 April, KO 3.00pm
Posted by: 0762 - 21-04-2023, 00:30 - Forum: Hibernian - Replies (8)

So the the last pre-"split" match looms closer and its importance to HFC is emphasised. It looks like Kuharevich is doubtful with a slight hamstring strain. Lotsa Hibees clearly heading north to give the boys ample backing. What to expect? Well I expect Hibs to play to win this match v opponents who are currently in disarray, hardly won a match, but still fighting against the threat of relegation. We've just won a derby match and should not require much motivation to "grab the initiative" and achieve the objective of winning this game thereby ensuring there is no doubt re other match results affecting Hibs post -"split" position. I'm aware this particular footie club has been a bogey to Hibs in previous seasons particularly in important matches. However, that Saints' team has changed significantly and it is time for Johnson and Hibs to focus on what they do well and progressing positively towards the post-"split" fixture list. C'mon Hibs! Don't slip up please!!

  Player of the season
Posted by: harrogatebaggie - 21-04-2023, 00:06 - Forum: West Bromwich Albion - Replies (9)

It is getting to be the time of year for who has been our player of the season. 

I notice a website has already started this, so I will seek your opinions on here. 

I will start, my 3 nominations are: -

Okay Y - cos he is just class and this side would be so much poorer without him

Dara O’Shea - has been our best centre back with many different partners though the year. He is willing to put his head where others just think about it. Hope he is with us for many years to come. 

But my choice is Jayson molumby - thought he would be a bit player, but has improved throughout the season, has tireless energy, and I think a steal at just 700k. 

You can pick who you want, it is not a choice of just these 3.
