With nobody else putting their hand up to take over, I'll do what I can! Same rules and scoring as last season, which turned out to be close. All welcome - have a go, it only takes a minute per match. And don't give up if you have a few bad rounds, or even half a season. If last year showed anything, it's that it only takes a few good matches to close on the leaders. Most importantly, it's just a bit of fun.

All August fixtures are available.

Of course, the more the merrier. Nobody need ask, just drop your predictions in the appropriate threads before the games kick-off.

I'd like to think the first few weeks will be a complete unknown before we're all able to better guess what's coming, but last season was so inconsistent, who knows.
And, I guess, that's the point :lol:

Didn't we do well! That'll be a big fat 0 between all ten of us, then...

Edit: I just realised cliffy90 snuck in 3 points by predicting the first goal in the 30th minute, and 30 is within the 21-30 bracket.

Only 6 points scored between us on Tuesday. At least there was a League goal, and therefore someone able to score a few points for predicting the correct first goal bracket! It's the little things...

Am I missing points from the Salford game, Shade...? I had our first goal in the 54th minute with the actual score in the 56th.

Oldham on Saturday - a day of reckoning? https://robinsnestforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=33171


Johnsons Red Army was the only one who didn't go full optimist after the win v Accrington, and therefore the only one to pick up any points v Crawley.

Surprisingly, nobody got a correct score in the last round...
Let's hope the second coming of Cotts means that this Predicta season doesn't descend solely into a "predict how many we get pumped by this week," competition. New manager bounce, anyone?

That was a bit more fun than the previous few Saturdays, wasn't it. Well done to the optimists, for once. Unfortunately, most of the usual optimists went pessimistic for this round :lol:
