6 points go to qprfcfromwhitecity, LurkR, MCM Hoop, qprallan, woodork, loftussi and daveb who all predicted a 1-1 draw with Plymouth, whilst Ghost and e17hoop also predicted a draw but 0-0 so they get 3 points
We had one of the predictions of the season from onenightfever who predicted Sam Field as first scorer! Not only that, it was his first correct goal scorer prediction of the season in a category that has been the toughest ever for everybody this campaign. We still have 4 players without a correct first scorer whereas last season nobody got less than 2 correct. Those who went for Dykes were pretty unlucky with his original effort almost over the line.
ranger-boy and e17hoop both did well having the 61-75 first goal time but only single points were picked up from Bonus Match 1.
e17hoop and qprfcfromwhitecity both scored 7 and may have hoped to close the gap on LurkR at the top of The Premier League but with LurkR scoring 6 he still has a 12 poin lead with just 4 games left. e17hoop and qprfcfromwhitecity do now look odds on for medal places though moving 7 clear of the chasing pack.
Also getting 7 points was daveb in The Championship and it still so close in that division that he moves up from 5th to 1st as the top 3 all failed to score. woodork got 6 to move up from 8th to 5th and just a point outside the promotion places.
It was a bad round for kingfisher who drops to the very bottom as loftussi and qprallan both scored 6 points. That pair may have hoped to move closer to avoiding wooden spoons but onenightfever and MCM Hoop both also scored 6 to keep themselves in a position of safety.
It is definitely hard to pick the first scorer. It is now 7 matches since any of our attacking players scored. The last one was Armstrong at Leicester. So no goals in 7 matches from strikers or attacking midfielders. That is a shocking statistic.

That is why I started picking defenders as the scorer. Mind you, there should have been double points for picking Adomah to score last night!
