Games 32-36 are our most pessimistic average voting yet, BTW. Perhaps not surprising given we were coming off a run of average performances, and the fixtures do look tricky

If offered the choice - would people rather we W3D1L1 (10pts) with one of the wins being over Leeds - or would they rather we W4 L1 (12 pts) with the loss being to Leeds.

I think I'd choose the latter, every point is a point closer to promotion - but I can se why its a tricky thought experiment.

Every game is worth the same amount of points, accumulate as many as you can as quickly as you can. 12 for me.
 
Anything between 10-15, as that's what we're averaging this season. We're a pessimistic bunch at the bestbof times but some of these predictions are ridiculous considering the recruitment and players coming back from injury.

We'll be flying again soon.

Oh, and we'll beat Leeds...
 



I'm always wrong on purpose.

United players are susceptible to reverse psychology 😉

Averaging 2 ppg from this block. Still good going. UTB

Another 3 points, so that's 9 from a possible 12, which is 2.25 ppg. If we can grab all three v Preston, then 1987, ChipButtyBlade, Flatulent_Bob & LetsbyAvenue will get all the results prediction chocolates *

224 out of 299 points voters are still in the running with 9, 10 & 12 points totals all still possible

As well as the four mentioned earlier, robbiez666, Sheffsteel and BiggerBladeThanThou will also have everything crossed for a win v Preston ;)

* I want to be very clear that there are absolutely no chocolates

A combined table of the last 10 predictions would be quite interesting, especially for those who claim they don’t consider themselves overly negative.

I will have a look at that this week for all the ones I've done this season. Not to call people out for being pessimistic, because each to their own, but out of interest. Balham has to be right at the top, I reckon

Some right soothsayer on here....can the top 4 predict the next 5 games too so I won't have to be so nervous watching. Thanks...p.s. hope the top four make it 5 out of 5 correct predictions come Saturday afternoon

Only 1 person predicting a loss this weekend, so we should be alright.

Well now you've done it. Reminds of the Jasper Carrott sketch where the players would listen to the raduo sports guys prediction on the radio before each game. If he predicted they would win they would get changed and go home.
 



Thankfully jono_t2000 didn't jinx it.

12 points from 5 games, meaning we got a mighty 2.4 ppg in that block !!! Well done to the 27 that predicted that correctly

Incredibly, we have four people who got all 5 game result prediction right. Take a bow
1987
ChipButtyBlade
Flatulent_Bob
LetsbyAvenue

That always-solid Balham got 4 right this time, only dropping the Middlesbrough prediction, which was the game with the most wrong predictions. I think we were all feeling a bit pessimistic after that Portsmouth performance. Today's game was the one with the most correct predictions.

The most relieved three people are surely robbiez666, Sheffsteel and BiggerBladeThanThou who picked up their first ✅ with today's victory, avoiding that big fat zero!

Well done to all for being brave enough to stick your predictions down. Let's do another one for the next five. I will post it tomorrow. Some cracking fixtures in that !!!!

We are still usually scoring more points than the average predicted. So we are pessimistic, but only just. We have predicted an average of 40.24 points so far across the 4 rounds of voting, but actually scored 42
