However you look at it, league position is simply fairer, how can it be fair that the team who finishes 8th in the league gets promoted, based on results of a couple of games, but the team who finishes 3rd based on the results of 42 games doesn't? Seems to me its all about making, the EFL and the T.V. companies, a few more shillings, rather than fairness in the game.]]>

Very good week for Group A this week, the fifth time that over 100 points have been scored in total. Fulham's win over Spurs also produced the highest points total for a non-Gamball game with 25 points, but the total points could have been higher had we not ended with 2 negative games as well. One of those negative games was this week's Gamball where only one player scored positive points and the rest scored it with the heart and not the head!!

Leading the way this week is Twerton with a season's high for him of 23 points!! He scored on 8 games including the Bonus and 3 CSs and finally found some form after weeks of struggle. Stairs is 2nd with 18 points, his 3rd double digit week in a row. BaggieOne rounds out the podium with 16 points, he was the only one to score positive points on the Gamball, although I think he was hoping to get it wrong!!

AAA, Zinman and The Vicar all scored in double digits, AAA scored on 7 games but failed to get any CSs, whereas Zinman added 2 to his total and The Vicar had one with both them scoring a max with scoreball on the Fulham win. Bit of a gap down to the bottom 2, Minizin and BBB, who both finished on just 6 points. The both missed the Bonus by predicting a Bournemouth home win!

274 A.A.A.
255 BaggieOne
254 Zinman
247 B.B.B.
238 BaggieVicar

So as we start the run into the end of the season the table is closer than it has been for a while. Our longtime league leader Minizin has seen his lead cut to just a single point over Stairs. AAA is still in touch with the top 2. The next three swapped places a bit with BaggieOne now in 4th place but he is just one point ahead of Zinman who in turn is 7 points ahead of BBB as these three chase that final playoff spot. Baggievicar isn't out of it yet but must put in some solid weeks. Twerton is still adrift in last place but he has now passed the double century along with everyone else in Group A and the Group as a whole passed the 2000 point mark.

A better week for Group B, just 1 player failing to make double figures. The gamball however was a different story. I recognise that those of us who are Albion supporters may be forgiven for being marginally over-optimistic about our fortunes (though, based on recent evidence, such optimism looks severely misplaced) but the rest of you? So a complete set of failures on the gamball and just 2 scoreball points meant that the higher scores came from the bonus and a higher than normal number of correct scores. Just 1 fixture joined the gamball in generating a negative return, only 1 player scoring on the Bournemouth/Sunderland draw while 2 players blew their bonus balls on it.

Snooty was the week's standout performer - 3 correct scores from his 7 correct results to give him his highest score of the season and a decent gap to 2nd place. 3 players, SCO, 4Eva and Amelia all scored 14 points from the same breakdown, 1 correct score from 6 correct results including their bonuses.

Lady Jane stands alone on 11 points, her scoreball point lifting her above the next 2 players, Derby and Salop. For the first time this season Derby got 2 correct scores from his 5 correct predictions but missed out on all his balls. Salop exactly matched Derby's performance leaving Themaclad trailing with just 5 points. Themac was the only player not to nail a correct score though he did at least have the minimal satisfaction of being the second player with a scoreball point.

284 4Eva
267 SCO
239 Lady Jane
221 Themaclad
218 Snooty
210 Derby
207 Amelia
197 Salop

Just 1 positional change this week as Snooty's fine week sees him edge ahead of Derby.

Scratching around for some stats this week but one thing that appears to be a trend is a recent improvement in Group B's scoring. the last 5 weeks have seen an average total of just over 83 points compared to 68 from week 4 (when Amelia joined) Similar improvements can be seen in the number of correct results and scores, so either Group B are getting better at this or I'm failing to pick hard enough fixtures.

A.A.A. -1

Slightly above average week in Group A but the spread of scoring was distinctly not average with the top 4 scoring 81% of this weeks points, and we all know what that can do to the league table!! The points came from three games mainly but that broke no records, what did break a season's record was the Brighton win at Brentford which scored a record low -15 points across the Group, including 5 Bonus balls with negative points!!!

Recently we have seen a resurgence in the middle to bottom half players closing the gap on our season long top two duo of Minizin and Stairs. Well after obviously resting their key players for a few weeks they both appear this week to have changed up a gear to recreate that gap between them and the rest!! Certainly also helps when you nearest chaser has his worst week of the season, but more of that later. Minizin and Stairs both posted 20 points, well clear of the rest and in Minizins case equaling his best score of the season!! Its been 13 weeks since either of them posted this sort of score and it certainly lays down a marker for the rest of the group. Both of them got maximums on the Gamball and while Minzin missed on his Bonus he added two other CSs to ties with Stairs in thee end.

Joint 3rd place goes to BBB and BaggieOne with 12 points. BBB was the third player this week to score a max on the Gamball but he wasn't able to add much else. B1 got CRs on both the Gamball and Bonus, a rare good week for him with his Balls!!

Big drop down to the next 3 - Zinman, BaggieVicar and Twerton. They all got the Gamball wrong, but the Vicar again did not play it so saved himself a point. Zinman and the Vicar both has a CS but Zinman scored on one of his 2 Bonus balls this week, while the Vicar missed on both denying him 6 points!! Twerton's form remains weak, its now 7 weeks since he reached double figures.

In last place is AAA on -1, he has been on fire for a while now so its not unexpected that he is having a week off!! He too had a second Bonus this week due to last weeks postponement but he also failed on both, to end with his lowest score of the season so far, which means he is the last player this season in Group A to score a negative result!!!

Big gap down to BBB in 4th, who is now 2 points ahead of B1 and Zinman, all three of these are chasing the final place in the Playoffs and while still double digits behind SCO there is still a chance 2 of them could make it in!!

Group B has been failrly consistent over the last few weeks and so it was this week with a total score of 71 points, just above the average score for the 5th consecutive week. Nearly 80% of this weeks points came from just 3 games - the gamball, Albion's defeat and Arsenal's win. That injury time Arsenal 4th goal meant that 3 players missed out on a bonus maximum!

So not a particularly remarkable week but it did see something special, in fact unique. Yes, Salop sits on top of the table for the first time this season! His 16 points - his second highest weekly score - was indebted to a maximum gamball (just his 2nd of the season) and he also scored on more games, 4, than anyone else. By scoring on the gamball he also moved to a positive total gamball score, meaning that every player in Group B has achieved this modest feat.

Just 1 point separates the next 4 players with Snooty just edging the pack. He only got 3 correct predictions, none of them correct scores, but did score on all his balls including the bonus carried over from last week. Lady Jane, Themaclad and Derby all scored 10 points. LJ got 2 correct scores, 50% of the total for Group B, but was one of just 2 players to miss out on the bonus ball. Themaclad and Derby had a similar scoring profile with Themac's additional bonus ball point cancelling out Derby's score ball. Needless to say, Derby ffailed to nail a correct score!

Our 2 pace setters, 4eva and SCO had a less impressive week. 4eva was the 4th palyer with 3 correct results but no correct scores but in common with the 2 players below him, lost out on the gamball. SCO only scored on 2 games but did get 1 correct score.

Amelia had a poor week with just 2 correct predictions and missing out on both the main balls. She did at least pick up the scoreball point to keep her above zero.

Still, winless in their last eight on the road, the Sky Blues may not be the all-conquering force we might fear, even if they're buoyed by the return from suspension of Brandon Thomas-Asante and confident of an inevitable contribution from him on his erstwhile patch. The Albion injury list also gets no better from one week to the next, but if we can keep things tight the way we have in recent weeks, another point here would be golddust.

Charlton are the more realistic target if we're to aim for three points this week, currently sitting just three places above us. Is it must-win on Tuesday night? Perhaps, depending on how other results go. What's certain is that home draws aren't going to keep us up, so one way or another, from one place or another, the victories have to come.]]>
