    So can I just understand that calculation purely for my own noob education Lyndhurst?

    According to me, I have only 2 results right: Cheltenham and Hartlepool, both draws. That's either 2 x 1point if a draw is 1 point only or 2 x 3pts if it's 3 for a correct result or conceivably 2 x (3+1pts) if it's 3 points for a correct result plus a bonus of 1 point if it's a draw.

    If you predict a 1 - 0 win and it is that's 3 points for the correct result and score. Same applies for a draw. If it's a win and you predicted a win so score ends up say 2 - 0 then that's 1 point for the correct result. Same applies for a draw where you don't get the actual score line. With the joker, if you get the correct result and 1 point that's doubled to 2 points. If you get a correct score with your joker that's 3 points doubled to 6 points. It's not that difficult really.

    So, you got 2 x 3 points for correctly predicting 1-1 draws in the Cheltenham and Hartlepool home matches, plus an additional 1 point for predicting that the Newport V Mansfield would be an away win albeit with a different scoreline than the one predicted. Equals total of 7.

    To be honest, with all the no notice random rule changes I don't bother checking Joe's maths. Just fire and forget.

    Reading 4 - 0 Argyle (9 minutes)

    As you may think I don't really care if they don't do anything in this.

    And you have improved as well notdistant. 2 - 0 was no great surprise or at least the loss anyway. Now all you have to do is get the goal time right and you've really cracked it.

    Regretably, yes I was right. I'd rather have been wrong and Argyle has won but we'll have to wait a while for that I think.

    Just a point of order Notdistant. If you are going to post predictions first you should put them in Alphabetical order which they will appear on Saturday. For god sake never just copy the Beeb list on their website. You need to go into "show all fixtures" and that at least is in the right order.

    Barnet 2 - 0 Accrington
    Carlisle 1 - 2 Argyle (40 mins)
    Colchester 1 - 0 Cambridge
    Crewe 2 - 2 Portsmouth
    Doncaster 2 - 0 Crawley (joker)
    Exeter 2 - 1 Hartlepool
    Leyton Orient 1 - 1 Newport
    Luton 1 - 1 Yeovil
    Mansfield 2 - 1 Cheltenham
    Morecambe 1 - 1 Blackpool
    Notts County 1 - 1 Stevenage
    Wycombe 0 - 1 Grimsby
