Week 20 results
BURNLEY 2 WATFORD 1
Burnley kept pace with the Championship's top two after this win, to preserve their unbeaten home record. A super 6 got tis spot-on, and a further 11 had the outcome.
LEEDS UNITED 4 OXFORD UNITED 0
Manor Solomon scored one and teed up two more as Leeds coasted to a ninth successive home win and sent floundering Oxford, who failed to have a shot on target, into the Championship relegation zone. Nobody had this spot-on, but 22 did get the outcome.
MANSFIELD TOWN 1 ROTHERHAM UNITED 0
Mansfield secured their first win in eight league games with a goal from Deji Oshilaja. Well done to noah4x4 for being the only one to get this spot-on, and another 8 had the outcome.
WIGAN ATHLETIC 2 SHREWSBURY TOWN 2
League One strugglers Shrewsbury came back from two goals down in the final quarter to steal a draw. Well done to Moor_Pinot for being the only one to have this spot-on, and only unitedwhites and gerry_us got the outcome.
CHESTERFIELD 1 AFC WIMBLEDON 0
Ex-U's loanee Armando Dobra's goal after 3 minutes gave Chesterfield victory, to make it four wins in a row. Only mfb_cufc and basher2010 got this spot-on, and a further 12 had the outcome.
NEWPORT COUNTY 6 MILTON KEYNES DONS 3
Bryn Morris and Bobby Kamwa both scored hat-tricks as Newport ended their six-game winless run in League Two with this emphatic victory, and stretched their unbeaten league run to five games. Nobody had this spot-on, though 4 did get the outcome. 15 predicted a win for MK Dons with 11 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
SWINDON TOWN 3 GRIMSBY TOWN 1
Ian Holloway celebrated his 1,000th game as a manager in style as his Swindon side blew away Grimsby courtesy of a Kabongo Tshimanga double. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, but 8 did have the outcome.
A mixed bag of results, that incredibly almost produced a week of wins for all the home teams, with only a late equaliser from Shrewsbury putting paid to that. A good week for the hosts then, but it only helped to achieve a total of 10 spot-ons, that were shared out, with 10 members getting one each. When it comes to the weeks top scorer, for what must be the first time, it is a seven-way go, with blueeagle, Jorash63 and gerry_us having the Burnley 2-1, and mfb_cufc, basher2010, noah4x4 and Moor_Pinot, with the 3 pointers mentioned above. They each also had three outcomes, to give them all a decent 6 points. A special mention for unitedwhites and Tropical_Us, who both had an impressive five outcomes.
U'sual Champions League Just the 6 games to go before we find out who this seasons 12 qualifiers are. Current champ blueeagle has qualified automatically, and the current member in the important eleventh, and final, qualifying place is wessex_exile with his 81 points. But it is only on the first to post rule from unitedwhites. This could be the first time that tie-breaker rules decides who qualifies, so posting first could be significant.
Happy Cup All the details for the Quarter-finals will be on a separate thread sometime after Boxing Day.
In the Premier A decent week for the top two means blueeagle maintains his 2 point lead over mfb_cufc. It is now a 9 point gap to Daniel in third, but along with basher2010 and thrillseeker they should comfortably qualify for the U'sual Champions League. But is a 6 game shoot out for Sector4 and unitedwhites to see who qualifies, as they are only separated by the first to post rule. At the bottom the relegation zone remains unchanged for the first time in six weeks, as it was after the Lord Mayors show for oxfcolu, but his outcome was enough to keep him out the bottom three on the most 3 pointer rule.
In Division One The lead has changed once again, as the decent week for noah4x4 takes him back there, after a week away. The impressive five outcomes for Tropical_Us moved him up a couple of places and back into the other automatic spot once again. Three outcomes for last weeks leader bwildered drops him to third. The decent week for Jorash63 moved him up another two places, as he continues his relentless run, up to fourth. Three outcomes for Lewis_1, as he also drops two to fifth. A solid 5 points for wessex_exile moves him up a place into the final play-off spot, after two weeks away, as he takes advantage of an unfortunate missed week for durham_exile, that drops him out of the top six for the first time since Week 7. A solid 5 points for Blue4U2, and a decent week for Moor_Pinot, moved them both up a place, and very much in contention for the play-offs.
