Polls just produce figures, not winners and losers!

Very True.

I just hope I'm not on the winning side!

[Bentley Bullet]

Just 6 entrants (15%) predicted a draw, keeping them in the contest for Tuesday's visit to Shrewsbury.

Lincs Rover, Rover 19, Mutley Rover, Colin Cramb, Newcomer, Spud.

I was so convinced of 1-1 draw I had £25 at 6/1! And would have given it all for a 2nd half winner! Thought we were going to do it but were unlucky, 2 open goals and a barn door penalty! Anyway, on to Shrewsbury -

I don't think it will be an easy game at all - saw Shrews on FL show and they showed some fight. Even so, I hope we've turned the corner and got our confidence back so going for a 2-1 WIN for Rovers. Come on!!

 

[RedJ]

Can this be an ongoing thing from next season? or perhaps on a monthly basis? quite interesting really and a bit of fun.

[Spud]

Totally agree Lincs. On the back of that performance i too predict a 2-1 win.

[Rover19]

Win

[IDM]

Win...

[Bentley Bullet]

Win...

Nice try IDM, but unfortunately you're out! 

Even I don't qualify, and it wa' my idea!   

[Spud]

Failiure to win on tues and we're all out by the looks lol

[Rover19]

We all still in then?

[Bentley Bullet]

Just 3 entrants left now, well done to Lincs Rover, Rover 19 and Spud.

Looking forward to seeing your forecasts for Saturdays visit of Hartlepool.

[Spud]

Am far too giddy to make any predictions just yet, other than it'll be tight and edgy again  :S

Do any get a bye for predicting the actual score BB ?

[Bentley Bullet]

Interesting idea Hoola, but the idea is to keep it nice and simple!

[Spud]

Have been really torn between draw and win for this one, we're playing as well as we have all season but finding goals hard to come by.
Hmmmm, we're gonna score first and WIN !!!

[Rover19]

Win again

I am very indecisive about Saturday and want to get carried away on the tide of excitement and expectation, but, having been a rovers fan for nearly all of my 48years I know we never do things easily! My first thought was a 2-0 win for rovers and I will put my money on it (being in front with good bets on 1-1 and 1-2 in last 2 matches!). However, my optimistic pessimism, combined with the way the table is going this year - every team that gets to the top automatically throws away the next game to surrender top - and that both Rover 19 & Spud have gone for a win I've decided to bow to my pessimistic side and go for a DRAW.

Having said that, I hope that Rover 19 and Spud are are correct and fight out the final in the Bournemouth game!!!!

Good luck boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

 

[Spud]

Without wanting to Jinx us, i hope Bentley's got a plan should the unthinkable happen....

[LincsRover]

Let's not even think the unthinkable!!!   

[Bentley Bullet]

If the unthinkable happens and Rovers get rolled over, it'll be a roll-over! 

[Spud]

Nicely put :D

[Bentley Bullet]

And then there were two.....

Unlucky LincsRover (that is if you call 3rd place unlucky!)

The last two remaining contestants, Rover 19, and Spud now go head to head in Tuesday's game at MK Dons to be the inaugural prediction champion!

Good luck guys!!!

I should have gone with my optimistic side but not in the least bit disappointed - as I said I would happily be out of this and settle for a win 

 

Good luck to Rover 19 & Spud

[not on facebook]

Set the ball rolling for This week

Mk dons away....rovers win

Bournemouth away...rovers win

[Spud]

MK are a decent side whose luck is due to change. However as everything seems to be clicking for us at the minute i think they'll have to wait a little longer.

Rovers win.

[Rover19]

Ill say draw on Tuesday

[Bentley Bullet]

Well well well that was a shock to the system wasn't it!

All that and no outright winner.

Anyone interested in having another contest starting at Bournemouth on Saturday, or is the pain still too much to bare?

[River Don]

I won't be optimistic if Harper is playing.
