Prediction League – Rearranged Game 23; v Rotherham (away)

If they’d beaten Gillingham last night, instead of losing 3-1 to two goals from on-loan Cody McDonald and one from Dennis Oli, Rotherham would still have been in the automatic places; as it was, their defeat, and Shrewsbury ending Lincoln’s good run with a 5-1 trashing at Sincil Bank (all 6 goals coming in the first 35 minutes) dropped them to 4th, with 47 points from 29, against the Shrews’ 48 from 30.

Since this game was postponed from 28th December, we’ve played 7, winning 3, drawing 3 and losing just once (to Shrewsbury, who must be the form team of the moment); the Millers have played 10, beating Port Vale (in their bad patch after Micky Adams left for the Blades) 5-0, Stockport 4-0 and Crewe 3-1, all at home, as well as winning 2-0 at Macc and drawing 3-3 at Stockport (who were 3-1 up with 6 minutes left); the good news from our point of view is that they’ve actually lost 5 of their last 7; apart from the Stockport and Crewe wins, since the 15th January they’ve lost 2-1 at home to Southend, and 1-0 at Wycombe, 3-0 at Stevenage, 1-0 in the return at Port Vale, and 3-1 last night to Gillingham (I’ve just forgotten for the minute how we did against Gillingham; can anyone remember? ); 13 points from 10 games; we’ve got 12 from 7 ……….

They were quiet in the transfer window, just loaning out-of-favour defender Stephen Brogan to Stalybridge, and signing manager Ronnie Moore’s 34 year old striker son Ian Thomas-Moore from Tranmere (the second time he’s played for his dad – nepotism rules OK! ); he’s played 3 times so far, and hasn’t scored yet. Speaking of “hasn’t scored”, fans’ favourite () Adam le Fallover has got as many yellow cards as goals in the last 10 games – 2 of each – although he remains the leading goal-scorer in League 2 with 19 in all (18 in the League).

57 goals in a total of 35 games; only 9 in their last 7 games though, which includes a four (home to Stockport), a three (home to Crewe), one twice and no goals three times ………… Leading scorers are le Fallover, home-grown strike partner Ryan Taylor with 8, ex-Bury defender Ryan Cresswell (who stuck the winner in at our place in time added on, you’ll recall ) with 5, and ex Chester, Tranmere, Hull, Lincoln, Stockport, Leicester (one game as sub) and Altrincham midfielder Kevin Ellison with 4; 11 others feature on the score sheet with 3, 2 or 1 each ………

To be fair, at home, overall, their record is P15 W8 D5 L2 F35 A20, which – with their League position, and on the stats – makes them favourites in most peoples’ books; but we ain’t most people ……….

The deadline for entries remains scheduled kick-off time, which is 7.45pm on Tuesday 15th February. I confidently predict that – whatever the score – my mate Chimer won’t cock up the League table a second time (or will he?); time for a goalless draw again? Sneaky 1-0 (in the last minute – how sweet would that be!)? Battered into submission? Routed? Vindicated? 7-2, just for Wynonie? (well, not just for Wynonie, but you know what I mean!) Go for it!

Good luck to everyone - and thanks for playing!
