When I put a draw down I forgot Barnsley were now in a higher division than Southend!

I did too until checking the league 1 table i realised they must be in the Championship! It was the same with Bristol Rovers, even though it was mentioned they were a league 1 club when they knocked out Fulham in the previous round i still keep on thinking they're in league 2!

Still went for a Southend home win considering the league places of both clubs and Southend's home record, and also because i would have liked to see Southend in the next round. Ah well, one result wrong so far, one down just nine more to go!

Benylin?

Southend were relegated last season, Barnsley have been in that league 2 seasons now I think? Must just be me, but I could say what league each of the 92 teams was in in an instant.

Stags lost gracefully 0-2 to Middlesbrough, so points for everyone bar Mrh and sauron.

The barnsley match could have gone either way hence me only putting 1 point on the outcome.

Looks like I should have put Liverpool v Havant in

With 8 games done, the scores are looking interesting, lots of different predictions for the 2 games tomorrow, so it could all change. This is the current top 3 though.

Don't we just have all the games as there as only eight of them?

Nice healthy lead for me ;D

[o]

Correct Frag, I may stick some random crowds and total goals questions in as well, those closest get more points than the others.

[ManicKangaroo]

Goals I could hazard a guess, I woluldn't have a clue on crowd sizes. I don't think that's fair to change the rules now.

I'm not changing the rules, when I ran this as a knockout last time, as the fixtures got fewer I added in extra things like how many goals in total and the occasional crowd ir order to keep the points high. We've lost 2 games this next round, so we've lost a lot of points, maybe as a compromise, I'll get you to rank the 8 games 3-10, and that will keep the points high? It's just those lower down can only catch those higher up, if the amount of points available each round is the same. ;D

[ManicKangaroo]

Fair enough, and I don't mind guessing on goals - but crowd attendance puts me at a disadvantage to those who follow football
