Welcome to December's prediction...
A few factors to consider:
Welcome Matt Taylor, a new manager bounce?
...or, flop?
A month where we could possibly face two top of the table teams, with another in the playoffs?
... and we have opportunity to complete a double!?
Also, bear in mind, only one Saturday home match!
That coupled with weather instability, cup matches that might draw injuries or suspensions, this is probably a difficult a prediction so far as it's a busy month.
So....how many points out of 5 matches?
Saturday 9th December
LEAGUE ONE
Bristol Rovers 1
15:00
Cheltenham Town 1
Saturday 16th December
LEAGUE ONE
Bolton Wanderers 1
15:00
Bristol Rovers 2
Saturday 23rd December
LEAGUE ONE
Blackpool 3
15:00
Bristol Rovers 1
Tuesday 26th December
LEAGUE ONE
Bristol Rovers 2
15:00
Portsmouth 1
Friday 29th December
LEAGUE ONE
Bristol Rovers 2
19:45
Charlton Athletic 1
Virtual Christmas Gonk to the winner(s)..
Virtual Christmas Zonk to the loser(s)..
Good luck, everyone!

Mainly due to weather, downgrading my November optimism.
Seven points.

Back to pessimism - 6 points while we adjust (I was going to put 5 but didn't want to appear too pessimistic with new boss!)

4 points for me. At least one of the games will be postponed and a tough set of fixtures. Not expecting Taylor to work instant miracles with the lop sided squad he has inherited

If any game is postponed, Duckworth Lewis applies, innit.

As the first to make this Duckworth Lewis quip, and noting it from another in the second month, I think there's no way o2 will deviate now. I think hedging one's bets on expected cancellations (see Smeggers above) is an important factor in this excellent monthly point game, obviously in winter months and around international fixtures, and I am now fine with that.
Edit: also, Bamber, 'about'? Place your bet with authority!

However, in this case I'm being cautiously optimistic. |
