    Ok I'll take a turn for this season. I'm not going to muck about with a load of trebles and stuff. There will occasionally be a double week. Also to keep it within the bounds of not being about position and mostly about week on week results I will do the position as at 31st December and final position for the season but with reduced points for nearest and correct place. So rules are as follows:-

    1. There will be 50 points for getting the position in the League right at half way. If nobody gets it right then 25 points for nearest.

    2. There will be another 50 points for the position at the end of the season and 25 points for the nearest if nobody gets it right.

    3. The remainder will be as for previous seasons. 3 points for a correct score and 1 point for a correct result.

    4. There will be 5 points for the correct time of the first goal in the Argyle match and if nobody gets it right then 3 points for the nearest.

    5. There will be one joker allowed which will double the points gained for the match selected. Occasionally a second joker will be allowed.

    6. Occasionally there will be a double points Saturday.

    7. As this is predominantly about Argyle there will also be predictions for any cup match Argyle are in. There will be a selection of "other" matches included on those occasions so it isn't a single prediction.

    8. Predictions must be made prior to kick off time.

    9. For ease of marking please try to put matches in the order shown on the BBC fixture page.



    I think that about covers it so if you want to be part of the seasonal failure then please indicate by posting and include your half way and finishing place predictions.

    If I've missed anything then please feel free to tell me. I may need somebody to stand in on the odd occasion and do the marking whilst I'm holidaying in the Algarve........... (I will try not to go away too often).

    Well done sensible for picking up the baton.

    Looking forward to seeing mustyfrog and smhbcfc return again......and any other non-green who would like to give it a go.

    I think predicting this year will be harder than last (which fooled most of us)....there are even more "bigger" clubs in Div 1 than last year.

    The likes of...Sunderland...Portsmouth,,,Sheffield W...Ipswich...Rotherham...Bolton...Wigan...Charlton...Doncaster...plus Lincoln and Oxford who both did well last season.

    So I'm in.....but not at all confident where Argyle will be at New Year and end of season.....last year we were far to optimistic.

    So I'll go for12th at the end of the year..... and13th at end of season......any higher and it will put the mockers on them.

    In fact i'm not on the mountain as the forest fires have closed the roads.
    Hopefully the cabin will survive...

    Yep but somebody had to BC. You have to admit there were some very woeful weeks and without the trebles and stuff there might have been a few more. Anyway we all know Yogi does yours....................

    Here we go then, no point in waiting as it's almost impossible this early in the season: every team has new players, some have new managers and some weren't even in this division last year.

    Bolton Wanderers 0 - 1 MK Dons
    Cambridge United 0 - 2 Oxford United
    Crewe Alexandra 2 - 0 Cheltenham Town
    Doncaster Rovers 3 - 1 AFC Wimbledon
    Fleetwood Town 1 - 1 Portsmouth
    Gillingham 2 - 2 Lincoln City
    Ipswich Town 1 - 0 Morecambe ( Joker )
    Rotherham United 1 - 1 Plymouth Argyle ( 12 mins )
    Shrewsbury Town 2 - 0 Burton Albion
    Sunderland 2 - 1 Wigan Athletic
    Wycombe Wanderers 1 - 2 Accrington Stanley
    Charlton Athletic 2 - 0 Sheffield Wednesday

    As for the season, I'm going for:

    End of 2021 - 13th
    End of season - 9th
