I was having a beer with my mate, Conor McGrandles, and I felt I had to ask him why there was no celebration after his stoppage-time goal against Pompey. "Look, Phil", Conor said, "I felt really bad about it letting you down". "Oh, come on, you didn't let me down. You salvaged a much-deserved point against the League One leaders", I replied. "I know", began Conor sheepishly, "but I am fully aware that you're struggling in League Two of the Prediction League, and if the score had stayed 2-1, you would have got three points for the Portsmouth game. I feel really bad for you. How can I celebrate despite those 2,000 fans behind the goal jumping up and down wildly when I knew I had stopped you from getting three points? The point only moved us up from 12th to 11th in League One, whereas you would have been in the Championship where you belong, Phil". I tried to console him and tell him it was OK, but he couldn't get over it. Before he left, he told him he had himself to score the seventh goal against Cray Valley Paper Mills this week in the team sweepstake. I told him not to hold his breath. Back on Planet Earth,
@stackitsteve was this week's big hitter with a fine 6-point haul as well as being the Zero to Hero winner, while
@Addick Addict,
@charscot,
@Dannoo_86,
@MrLargo,
@Taxi_Lad and
@WestSussexAddick all scored a very respectable 5 points. No one was put on to the Noughty Step this week, and only
@Blackheathen thought we would come away from Pompey with a point. Prediction of the Week went to
@sholland, who stared into a crystal ball and realised that Stevenage would win 1-0 at Wycombe Wanderers. On the third post this week, you will find your 2023-24 Progress (or Lack of Progress) Chart for the season. I'm off to console Conor.
