    Just been glancing back at my own forecast (from Friday evening) ............

    Burton - L
    Shrewsbury - W
    Wycombe - L
    Fleetwood - W
    Plymouth - W
    Walsall - W

    So far - So good with a 'Bonus' point from Burton.
    IF my forecast continues - That'll be 13 points ........ Which will do nicely ! :)

    Perhaps a few ‘vices’ (City amongst them;)) but not gambling.

    Yes mate, I’m sure most (if they were being honest) wouldn’t have had us down to pick up anything yesterday. Yes, there are still some dreamers out there that think we should be turning teams like Burton over, but not many of them (perhaps @SimonW@SimonW can confirm how many expected a win yesterday?)

    I personally had us down to lose and concede more than the 1 goal, so that was a positive. As for the remainder;

    Burton - L
    (h) Shrewsbury - W
    (a) Wycombe - D
    (h) Fleetwood - D
    (h) Plymouth - W
    (a) Walsall - L

    Not the number of points we need, but the point gained at Burton may end up being a bonus.

    On the Prediction League ; 20 predicted a defeat, 6 a draw and 15 optimists a win.

    My word, I’m shocked that so many predicted a win.

    And I’m still behind these ‘optimists’ (nutters) in the league : unamused:

    14 of the 41 predicted a city win. With this kind of prediction games though you do get some people who will predict their hopeful result not what they feel the result is likely to be so it may be fewer than those 14 who really expected a win.

    I have to say I thought City might have won this just because Burton had played alot of football and hadn't looked great since Man City's lack of class in the 9-0 drubbing. You could have maybe done with Man City having kept that lack of class on in the second leg and mad it like 20-0 but their confidence can't have been at its peak (admittedly neither would have been yours, you needed the form you had a few rounds back really)

    Spot on. I thought we would draw on the weekend and wasn’t disappointed with the result. Combined with the fact we went a goal down makes it better. Tomorrow night is simply huge.
