No, no, no Piglet. The ones I was after were Major Keith Mallory and Sergeant Dusty Miller, two characters in ‘Force10 from Navarone’. You got completely the wrong George MacDonald Fraser screenplay, what were you thinking?
A good average score this week of 7.7 points with three contestants in double figures. Best of these was NZBlue who started the season late but managed a 12 this week, and was also the highest riser moving up 6 places to 7th. Nice one. Nobby only managed 3 - he’s now our new table-propper - and reigning champion Piglet also scored badly and drops 4 places to 7th.
Eight players got 8 points so there aren’t many other large changes in position. Chalky stumbled at the top but didn’t fall despite Frank’s creditable 11; his 6 keeps him top but with a reduced lead. Altobelli returned this week and got off the bottom, thanks to an 8 and Nobby’s poor showing.
Two observations - Accrington v Rochdale earned players 26 points, probably the most I’ve seen at 1.3 each. Swindon v Wimbledon on the other hand scored nothing at all, managing to fool all of us. Strange game, eh?
By the way, the postponed Walsall v Orient game is now on Tuesday, so I’ll work out the points and add them in shortly after.
