And now we've got round two of the great FA Cup to contend with


Bristol Rovers v Bournemouth
Darlington v Swansea
Scunthorpe v Wrexham
Torquay v Leyton Orient
Bradford v Millwall


All preditctions to be in by late-lunchtime (that's 3pm to you) on Saturday, 2nd December.

I feel I must point out that Bradford v Millwall is a Friday evening game. It was moved because, for some unfathomable reason, the police thought it would be a bad idea to have the lovable Millwall fans in the area on the same day as Leeds were playing Barnsley.

Really? Thanks for pointing that out Ormy

Though I must say that the vast majority of Millwall fans are really rather nice people. It's a club that has spent a lot of time and effort in bringing the community into the club. Frankly these days - with the exception of a small bunch of teenagers who hang out in the East Stand upper tier - Millwall fans are a bunch of pussy cats.

Anyway, I'm not having an unplanned Friday night deadline for predictions. So therefore the new list is:


Bristol Rovers v Bournemouth
Darlington v Swansea
Scunthorpe v Wrexham
Torquay v Leyton Orient
Macclesfield v Hartlepool


The closing time remains the same

Bristol Rovers 2 v 0 Bournemouth ~ Walker
Darlington 0 v 3 Swansea ~ Trundle
Scunthorpe 2 v 0 Wrexham ~ Sharp
Torquay 1 v 0 Leyton Orient ~ Ward
Macclesfield 1 v 2 Hartlepool ~ Daly

Can I get a pools panel pick please?

Bristol Rovers 1-1 Bournemouth (Hayter)
Darlington 1-3 Swansea (Robinson)
Scunthorpe "Winners of League One, thank you Russell Slade" 4-0 Wrexham (Baraclough)
Torquay 2-1 Leyton Orient (Critchell)
Bradford 0-0 Millwall

Read post number 3 will you, B.

Ok I’m taking a calculated bet on picking scorers who all share names with my former teachers. I admit I only went out of my way to find one to add to the list.

Bristol Rovers 2 Bournemouth 1 Haldane
Darlington 0 Swansea 2 Knight
Scunthorpe 3 Wrexham 1 Mark Jones
Torquay 1 Leyton Orient 1 Adam Chambers
Macclesfield 1 Hartlepool 0 McIntyre

Is it any wonder Mu can't get things right when he doesn't even notice these things.

I don't generally read the whole thread.

Macclesfield 0-2 Hartlepool (Daly)

Nor do I unless I see GD has responded early as he always posts predictions late.

No do I unless GD posts early in the week. As he usually posts at the last minute.

Do you always make a badly-scanned pair of doubleposts, though?

Hmm, let's see...

Bristol Rovers 2-0 Bournemouth (Nicholson)
Darlington 1-3 Swansea (Trundle)

Good set of picks there Greydesk, some interesting fixtures



>>As an aside, these were my old picks, done a couple of days ago before discovering they were more or less identical to Ormy - for personal purposes I'm going to see which were better
