I know the knives are out for Appleton at the moment, but I have some sympathy. Surely, it's bad luck if you keep getting caught out by late goals. While I'm struggling away in League Two, I could be pushing
@thecat at the top of the Premier League if late goals didn't ruin so many of my predictions. That's my excuse, anyway, and if Mr Appleton visits this website and wants to have a sympathetically cupped ear, he can contact me at willweeverwinagain@gmail.com. Making no such excuses this week was
@Karim_myBagheri, who scored a splendid 7 points and, like many, was able to foresee a 2-1 defeat at home to Oxford. Somewhat depressingly, the two games that produced the best returns were Charlton's two defeats over New Year. Not far behind
@Karim_myBagheri was
@Rudders22 with a highly respectable 6 points, which has led to a leap to 4th spot in the Premier League. Five competitors scored 5 points -
@chezzafromcharlton,
@Dannoo_86,
@No.1 in South London,
@Sillybilly and
@walshiesleftfoot.
@dajavouslagan went on the Noughty Step, leaving six goody-goodies, while
@Rossman92 can look forward to 2024, having shaken off the run of scoring 1 or less.
@Taxi_Lad deserves a mention for leaping from the National League to midway in the Championship after 7 excellent weeks, scoring 2 or more. Next week, there's the distraction of the 1st Round of the Prediction Knock-Out Cup. I'll be chatting to Appleton to get his advice.
If you missed the Cup Draw, you can find it
