The absence of Lambert really hurt them though. Hard luck Davo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Slob 0 Posted August 7, 2010 Unlucky mate, a real shock result, Plymouth had 1 shot all match, but then defended brilliantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted August 7, 2010 Yes as Mister said it was unlucky Davo. We fell at the first hurdle but you have nothing to reproach yourself for. The first week is an absolute nightmare with no form to go on. Someone has to pick on week one and you were brave enough to accept the challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted August 7, 2010 I think we''ve had a lot of casualties in the first week with Reading, Boro, Southampton all failing to win. The first week is a nightmare, a really tough ask and it looked a good set of picks so don''t be disheartened Davo, we''ve got 45 weeks left to rack up some academy cash.

Inch High aka Inchy.. 405 Posted August 7, 2010 Bad luck Davo, the first week of a new season is a betting minefield so no reflection on you as a picker.[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 0 Posted August 8, 2010 Well now I can see why Billy in all his generosity was willing to give us so much if I had of got all 6 right.There were 8 naps this week that won. Some of which I did look at seriously - Esbjerg Vs FC Midtylland Away win, Dundee Vs QoS Home win. Others like Hull Vs Swansea and Chesterfield Vs Barnet I didn''t look at in much detail. Frankly I consider Hull''s result a bit of a shock.Sill there''s always next week.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buncey 1 Posted August 9, 2010 PUP''s, davo don''t be too disheartened. As we have seen time and again, gambling on the football league is one of the most tricky and random activities one can do in life. We continually have witnessed crazy upsets almost weekly and on the first week of the season it''s going to quadruple the pain! No fear though, the big leagues swing into action next and in the following weeks and we''ll get up and running.... But Scunthorpe? Seriously what the hell!!!!

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted August 10, 2010 62 PUPs selected this week with 22 correct and 1 postponed game making a success rate of 36%. Between you 21 games were selected of which just 8 won. Taking into account Yankee’s postponed game this was a strike rate of 40%. These are the worst stats I can ever remember. That’s no reflection on you PUPs just a crazy week where there was no worthwhile form to go on coupled with so many “Tales Of The Unexpected”! I feel I should apologise to poor Davo for asking him to select this week and he deserves soooo much credit for having the bravery to take it on for us.Anyway, well done for winning selections to Wazzy, Big Slob, Bruce, Chris, Cosmic, Devon, Doris, Excited, Graham, Greg, Hughesy, Inchy, Jellytot, Meth, Mister, Muddy, Broadslim, Scrimmage, Drinks, Tony[Y]Oh and Lapp & Nutty[:O]Thank you once again Davo, you never stood a chance my friend.I’ll be back tomorrow with the new thread where we have another new picker in Big Slob making the final selections, and hopefully news about our presentation night.[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
