Needs a 5th question, goal time to nearest 5 minutes, how many defensive midfielders in starting line up etc ?

 

[bhamex1901]

It would help if we scored. That would make it much more likely for us to have a winner.

 

[MattBackHome]

Definitely keep it as it is.

 

[Bozza]

Finally back from Leicester - I had given thought to another question, but can't be goal related. Maybe first booking.

Half-time result: Leeds
Albion goals: 0
Leeds goals: 1
First Albion goalscorer: None
First Albion booking: Barnes

Ker-ching!

All it will take is for the first goal to be scored by a fringe player. Lots of people guess CMS, Barnes, Dobbie and Buckley. Greer, El Abd, Crofts scoring would be a good separator. Last night, after half time 22 people had unique predictions

If Mackail-Smith took and scored that penalty and it ended 1-1, Brighton Seagulls would have won.

If we'd have come back in the second half, with the goal scorers:
4-4; Barnes
3-1; Crofts
3-2; Barnes
2-1; Bridge
2-2; Barnes, Bridge, or Mackail-Smith

Or if we score but didn't get a point
2-3; Mackail-Smith
2-4; Mackail-Smith
1-2; Barnes, Buckley or Greer
1-3; Barnes, Bridge, Buckley, Crofts, Dobbie or David Lopez
1-4; Mackail-Smith

Yes, we've not concede more than one goal in a game in the league, but that isn't likely to last all season, so 2-1, 2-2, 1-2, 1-3 are not unlikely outcomes.

I'm with Acker btw. Keep it as it is. I find it FUNNY that no-one can win (so far). The fact we haven't scored in months is largely to blame for that, anyway.

Un f***ing lucky!

First booking is just total luck though. There is very little evidence on which to base a prediction, whereas forecasting the result/goalscorer involves an element of skill/knowledge.

As Conboy says above, it's becoming obvious that nobody is going to win this with a 1-0, 0-0, 1-1 prediction. It's going to be won because either a) there is a more uncommon result or b) an unusual first goalscorer. And when that happens, that person will deserve the cash because they'll have pulled something impressive out the bag.

Agreed. (Apart from the part about the booking - its wouldn't be luck to predict that our most likely booking would be Greer, Bridcutt or Barnes*)

Nice stattage. And excellent reasoning as to why the competition should remain as is. At some point someone is going to win big, and it will have taken a little more NOUS than LUCK to win it.

Can I just point out that it is all for fun and not costing anyone anything other than about 30 seconds of their time...

Back in your box.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

My issue with this is that even if we work on the basis that it is only those three players who will be booked, it's still total pot luck as to which it will be. You can't possibly sit at home on your computer and envisage a booking taking place on Saturday. If that is included, it may as well just be a sweepstake.

Surely its no different to the scorer? Barnes, CMS, BUckley are most likely, but the person who wins will be the one who's taken a GUESS on it being Greer.

 

[Djmiles]

I was almost right with my prediction of 8-7....

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Keep going with the current rules I say, I honestly think somebody will win it soon.

Agree. And the longer they don't, the FUNNIER it gets, anyway.
