Prediction League Season 2023-24

After last weeks predictions....something had to change.

I think that Rotherham is the joke not banking on them as the joker.

 

Queens Park Rangers 2-1 Leeds United
Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Coventry City
Bristol City 2-0- Rotherham United
Cardiff City 2-1 Middlesbrough
Huddersfield Town 0-0 Birmingham City Joker
Millwall 0-2 Plymouth Argyle joker 20 mins
Norwich City 2-1 Swansea City
Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 West Bromwich Albion
Southampton 2-0 Stoke City
Watford 2-0 Sunderland
Hull City 0-1 Ipswich Town
Preston North End 0-2 Leicester City

 

Goal Time: 25 minutes

 

Queens Park Rangers 0-2 Leeds United Joker
Blackburn Rovers 1-2 Coventry City
Bristol City 2-0 Rotherham United
Cardiff City 1-1 Middlesbrough
Huddersfield Town 0-1 Birmingham City
Millwall 1-1 Plymouth Argyle 42 mins
Norwich City 2-0 Swansea City Joker
Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 West Bromwich Albion
Southampton 2-0 Stoke City
Watford 2-1 Sunderland
Hull City 1-1 Ipswich Town
Preston North End 0-2 Leicester City

 

So much for the Rotherham embargo then notdistant................Ooh you are naughty.

 

It was worth a try......

if I may say so this has been a very well disciplined round: all in on time, right number of jokers, right number of matches, even from Plym, no bizarre 1-99 scorelines. Excellent. This is the 45th out of 46 rounds of matches but never mind.



I'm slightly concerned about Norwich v Swansea but I did mean to put it down as an away win, so there. Rotherham are nobody's favourite, 8-0-0 for anther defeat, The Super Match is nicely balanced 3-3-2 but I'm rooting for Huddersfield irrespective of what I've forecast.



I may start a new bonus or the one who comes up with the best answer to "what does this week's Goal Time shape look like"?



There doesn't seem to be a way of putting the actual forecast times against each person. What you can see is that Away in BC is well placed if there's an early goal between kick-off and about 12 minutes. Having had SMH move into his "nearly half-time" zone, Plym's come into the congested middle third of the first half in a bit of a huff I think.

Good luck to you all and God bless Leeds United, Coventry City, West Bromwich Albion and Ipswich Town.

 

I do all my best thinking in the shower. Ask anyone.

This is better isn't it?

We're more interested in equaling whatever Birmingham do.

 

I can understand that...

Scores are a big improvement on last time, but then, there were double points. Rotherham losing (again) yielded 60 of the total of 126 scored.



Top scorer on the matches themselves was Away in BC and that's put him in a strong position to win it. SMH got the goal total with unerring accuracy: forecast 42 versus 83 actual. You should have stuck with that 45 Plym......



We'll stick with one joker as some of you have already done forecasts to the final round, which starts at 12.30 on Saturday, in case you hadn't noticed.

We'll do treble points and total goals will also be in operation. The Super Match is going to be a bit different: I'm not going to go anywhere near anything that could affect Argyle's chances so its Rotherham v Cardiff. One last hurrah or one last defeat?

 

It's just come to my notice that following the revamp of the BBC Sports website, the fixture list is not necessarily in alphabetical order. Why? No idea.



So here is the match test. Those that have posted so far have got it right I think.

Birmingham City - Norwich City
Coventry City - Queens Park Rangers
Ipswich Town - Huddersfield Town
Leeds United - Southampton
Leicester City - Blackburn Rovers
Middlesbrough - Watford
Plymouth Argyle - Hull City
Rotherham United - Cardiff City
Stoke City - Bristol City
Sunderland - Sheffield Wednesday
Swansea City - Millwall
West Bromwich Albion - Preston North End

 

Not sure where you got that listing from....still shows it alphabetically on BBC fixtures in the South East.
