Predictions Thread

[Wilpshire Blue]

A suggestion by Drog earlier today got me thinking about us having a prediction challenge for the season.

Simple enough, just post your Rovers score prediction on the relevant match thread BEFORE the kick off time (the time given to your post will be the judge of this).
I will maintain a league table of how badly we are all doing and post it on this thread.

I suggest 2 points for getting the result correct and 5 points for getting the result and score correct.
You can obviously post the same scoreline as someone else or it could get silly.
If anyone has any other suggestions for rules, shout up.

We can start with tomorrow's match v Swansea so get over to that thread and post your prediction.
If nobody is interested, this thread can be killed off in a week or so.

I'll go first then with a 0-1 win for rovers, 0-0 at half time then score from a set piece around 20mins in and a bum twitching 25mins till the end. Three yellow in the match ( any side) and 4mins added extra time.

Geedog, you're the only one who posted his prediction on this thread instead of the match thread

Oooops! Reminds me of the advice given by countless teachers at schools regarding examinations....... "Always read the question"!
I still screwed up on occasions!

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

So, after a less-then-ideal evening, here is our first predictions league table.
I would like to point out that I'm only bottom because of alphabetical order

Better luck on Saturday!!

 

[Drog]

And I'm only top because of my natural pessimism developed by supporting the Rovers for far too long to get carried away.

In spite of that poor display last night I reckon that Mowbray will have learned his lesson and will not make the same substions as last night and we will win 2-1 against the Baggies.

I was worried about last night and felt the Rovers could come a cropper , although I always find it difficult to predict a defeat - perhaps it's a loyalty thing , so opted for 0 -0

Now we’ve a competitive prediction league on the go ( thanks WB ) it’ll have to be head over heart from hereon in

Baggies 2

Famous Blue and White Halves 0

Trouble with a prediction page on a Rovers site is that no one wants to predict a Rovers defeat

 

[Otto Mann]

Baggies on Saturday. Going for a 1-0 win for us. COYB!

I was the only one to do so v Swansea..... And now I'm top of the table!
Must say I'd rather be bottom

 

[Steve Moss]

1 West Brom v Rovers 3.

I think we’ll murder them this weekend.

 

[khmerblue]

going for a nil nil draw

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

If we’re putting predictions in this thread rather than the match day one as originally suggested then I’ll repeat my prediction of 2-1 to us

 

[Drog]

People need to read and understand the rules WB set. Seems popular but it needs to be on one thread or the other and not both. Over to you WB.

Not only me then lol

 

[ABBEY]

I predict the west Bromwich area is a shite hole of a place

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

I would prefer the predictions to be on the Match thread, then I can’t get the prediction tied to the wrong match when we have Saturday and Tuesday games for example, as people don’t always mention the teams.
I will be checking both threads however, so nobody will miss out (I hope)

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Hmmm, I wonder why I rushed to get the new table published??

 

[OnlyOneTugay]

The Roversfans prediction league is tighter than the Championship ! Well done WB .
