Pragmatists Rule, Ossy Kid Soars, Kiwi Hangs On
Clearly this was a day for ignoring the league table and recent league form
, with only 5 pragmatists assuming the worst, 10 clambering on to the fence and 12 forecasting another unexpected away win for the boys. And as a result, only 5 of us got more than the single point for "Luton 1"
.
Only 1 of those 5 took the maximum, with Ossy Kid climbing from 18th to 5th
as a result. 4 points saw Accybeme up to 14th from 6th
, but LongLostSon only from 31st to 30th, while 3 points boosted Div3North from 4th to 3rd and Tommy McQueen from 26th= to 23rd. A single point for our Antipodean Johnny leader took him clear of AccyMad without need for countback, which is what in turn keeps AccyMad 2nd above D3N. And it was DaveinGermany and TomD who fell out of the Top Ten to make room for the risers.
Only 26 players this week
, with Top Tenners Smobile and Winstanley amongst those not troubling the scorer this time. At the bottom, our recent recruit Lord StiffUpperlip has risen, as befits his status, above all those who have only played once or twice into 33rd, with half-regular Norwich Stanley (played 8 out of 16) in his sights only a point ahead.
So roll on Stevenage - not perhaps the opposition of choice for a turn round in form
, but lots of incentive to wipe out the memory of last season's rather significant
goalless draw. Let's moider em!! On Stanley On!!!
Is increasing desperation identified by increasing numbers of exclamation marks
?
