Stanley Stilletto

Post by joepoolman »

As it's just our second visit to Accrington I'll make that the theme for the boot, most correct answers wins!

1. Which team will score the second goal of the game (or no second goal)?
2. Who will come on as Oxford's second sub (or no second sub)?
3. How many yellow cards will be shown in the second half?
4. Will the second choice Oxford goalkeeper be on the bench?
5. Who'll be second in League 2 on after the games on Tuesday?
6. Which team will score the second most goals in League 2 on Tuesday night? (If two or more teams have joint second most goals then I'll count all as a correct answer.)

TB: Total of the shirt numbers on the Oxford bench (no duplicates).

Admittedly not the best boot of the season but it's the best I could think of.

Au contraire, I'd say one of the more interesting ones...

That said, can I just clarify Q6, if two or more teams score the joint most, does that also become the second-most as well, OR do the club(s) that score the next highest count as the second-most?

Any team that scores the second highest amount of goals that is scored on the night is a correct answer, so if two (or more) teams are joint first then the next team(s) down are the one(s) I'm looking for.

Quite a good spread of scores, I was all ready for a debate on whether Shrewsbury would be a correct answer for q6 but luckily it makes no difference to the end result. Almost everyone's marks have been affected by a fire in a generator room in Shrewsbury, which I doubt has happened in many previous boots.

Anyway the important bit is that Yankee Clipper wins as the only person to get 5/6, only dropping a point on the second place question.

I'd like to mention Mooro who after praising my boot managed 1/6 after taking a punt on Wayne Brown.

Here are the answers if anyone's interested:

1. Oxford
2. Tonks
3. 1
4. No
5. Torquay
6. Shots, Brad, Burton, Shrews

TB: 74
