Butterbean_Canary 0 Posted May 22, 2013 Interesting read....http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22596125Amazingly with his predictions he would have QPR finishing 8th lolI didn''t realise that he is not a Swanselona fan as he would have them relegated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RvWs 4 year contract 0 Posted May 22, 2013 He should have taken into account that some teams were "on the beach"....[;)] Would have made some of his predictions more accurate if you ask me!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,358 Posted May 22, 2013 To be fair, a few teams aside, he hasn''t actually done that bad - and got a fair few results of ours correct during the run-in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted May 22, 2013 To me this shows that Lawro starts the season with a view (a bias in some cases) on how good a team is. If he''s basically right, his predictions pan out reasonably well.This year he was biased in favour of some teams, most obviously QPR, and against others such as us (although when we started beating Man U he changed and if anything his predictions towards the end were on average in our favour). What irks me is that he doesn''t seem to feel he should do any research on the newly/recenly promoted teams, he just relies on what he will see over the season. So at the start of last season he knew almost nothing about us and his predictions were biased against us. Many of us on here are thinking Hull could struggle next season without knowing much about them as a team. But then we''re not professional pundits who are paid to give views on this sort of thing, if I did this for a living then I''d spend a bit of time to find out about them before writing them off.

SwindonCanary 457 Posted May 22, 2013 At the start of the season, I set out a spread sheet, doing my own predictions against Lawro:--- I beat him hands down ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HerefordCanary 0 Posted May 22, 2013 How come he''s predicted Reading and Chelsea to only play 37? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
