Week 16 results
BURTON ALBION 1 BLACKPOOL 0
Jake Beesley's fifth goal of the season secured Burton a win over his former club, with their only shot on target, and inflict a first league defeat on new Blackpool boss Ian Evatt. 4 got this spot-on, and a further 7 had the outcome.
LEYTON ORIENT 2 EXETER CITY 1
Second-half goals from Idris El Mizouni and Tyreeq Bakinson saw Orient come from behind to win. A great 8 had this spot-on, and 8 also got the outcome.
ACCRINGTON STANLEY 3 BRISTOL ROVERS 1
Two goals in five second-half minutes secured Accrington a win to condemn Rovers to a sixth successive league loss. Well done to BFG for being the only one to get this spot-on, and a further 15 had the outcome.
OLDHAM ATHLETIC 0 CREWE ALEXANDRA 0
Crewe climbed back into the League Two play-off spots following this bore draw. Only NME_cufc and gerry_us had this spot-on, and nobody got the outcome.
SHREWSBURY TOWN 1 NEWPORT COUNTY 0
A goal from ex-U's Anthony Scully won Shrewsbury the battle of League Two's bottom two, and earned them a third successive home win for the first time since August 2023. A great 8 got this spot-on, and another 10 had the outcome.
WALSALL 0 COLCHESTER UNITED 2
Walsall lost their grip on top spot in League Two as they lost to improving Colchester. Nobody had this spot-on, but 4 did get the outcome. 14 predicted a win for Walsall, with 11 going for a 2-0 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
A sad week with the passing of durham_exile coinciding at the same time of Rememberance. As Pete will always be rembered for his enthusiastic and positive previews, and he would have enjoyed predicting the Colchester win today. To keep Pete's memory going for the rest of the season I have had a request to give him 2-1 all games, and I have agreed. I also thought it would be good to honour Pete in some way, and have decided in future the Charity Shield will be now be the Durham Exile Memorial Shield.
As for this weeks 6 fixtures, it has to be said it was another good one overall, with the 23 total spot-ons spread out in such a way that only four members failed to get a 3 pointer, and we had the second best 6 game week of the season so far. This means four members did well to get two 3 pointers, with the best coming once again from noah4x4, who had the 1-0 wins for Burton and Shrewsbury, and the Orient and Accrington outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer with an excellent 8 points. The other three all got a decent 7 points, they were NME_colu and gerry_us who both got the Orient 2-1 to go with the good Oldham 0-0, and the Accrington outcome. Also ghughes11, who had the wins for Orient and Shrewsbury, and the Accrington outcome. Best of those to have one 3 pointer were Jorash63, mfb_cufc, RSCOSWORTH and durham_exile, who all got the Orient 2-1, and concordman, who had the Burton 1-0. They each also got three outcomes, to give them all a decent 6 points.
In the Premier The decent week for concordman means he remains top for the fourth week running, and increased his lead by a point. The decent week for Jorash63 moved him up a place to regain second place again, but only on the most 3 pointer rule from thrillseeker, whose solid week included having the Shrewsbury 1-0 spot-on. That same 3 pointer for Sector4, and he remains fourth. It is status quo also for ghughes11 after his decent week, but he does move that bit nearer to the top. The Orient 2-1 spot-on for blueeagle and the Shrewsbury 1-0 spot-on for Daniel, and they remain sixth and seventh. Despite being the only one not to have a 3 pointer in this division, bwildered remains eighth after his three outcomes. In the only other change, the decent week for mfb_cufc moved him up a place, and out of the relegation zone, after spending the last six weeks there. He is replaced by unitedwhites, who drops back there for the first time since Week 3, despite getting the Shrewsbury 1-0 spot-on. The decent week for RSCOSWORTH moves him ever nearer to escaping, and despite having the Burton 1-0 spot-on, Lewis_1 has suddenly found himself 15 points from safety.
In Division One After two weeks without a 3 pointer, noah4x4 was back on track this week, and it is congratulations to him on reaching a century of points, after his top scoring performance. He has increased his lead back to 23 points from Blue4U2 who in turn has improved his own position, after having the Shrewsbury 1-0 spot-on, and now has a healthy 7 point advantage over the third Tropical_Us. He only retains that place on the most 3 pointer rule from gerry_us, whose decent week moved him up a place. The decent week for NME_cufc also moved him up a place to fifth. A solid week for wessex_exile, that included getting the Shrewsbury 1-0 spoi-on, moved him up a couple of places, and back into the final play-off place he last occupied in Week 3. But it is only on the most 3 pointer rule from BFG and basher2010, as things remain competitive in this league. Just a further 2 points away is oxfcolu, after he had the Burton 1-0 spot-on.
