Wombling Wellies

Post by Mooro »

Twelve former youth teamers MAY be in action on Saturday (but not all for us).
For each you have to decide whether they will i) start (P), ii) playing sub (S), iii) non playing sub(N), iv) not start or sub(X) (one point for each correct).
In addition, select three 'goal threats'(*) - +2pts for every goal they score, -1pt if they do not score (whether play or not).

1) O'Dowda (OUFC away to Wimbledon)
2) Roberts (OUFC away to Wimbledon)
3) Long (OUFC away to Wimbledon)
4) Ashby (OUFC away to Wimbledon)
5) Crocombe (Nuneaton away to Dartford)
6) Hackett (Noton away to Stevenage)
7) Ricketts (Slumdon home to Peterbro)
8 Whitehead (Middlesbro home to Rotherham)
9) Blackstock (Forest home to Huddersfield)
10) Fisher (Mansfield away to Plymouth)
11) Davies (Bolton home to Norwich)
12) Taylor (Bristol R home to Southport)

TB - Total mins played by all 12 (max 1080)-

Do we have to select three goal threats as I honestly don't fancy any of 'em?!?!

Crocombe, Ricketts & Taylor started
COD,Whitehead & Fisher came on as subs
Long & Hackett were unused subs
Roberts, Ashby, blackstock & Davies were not selected
The only scorer was Matty Taylor.
Total minutes played was a meesley 293!

Radley & Hoglette got the most selections correct with 8,
BUT were also the only ones who did not select Taylor as a potential scorer.

Scores:
Geoff 2
Hoglette, Radley & Joe 5
Hog 6
ME 7

Which means I'll pass on the buck for the next Boot to myself, unless anyone has any complaints regarding the subject matter/complexity/bias for this one

Is this the next Boot and is there a word limit?
