This isn't the predictor bonus for this game (though there is one at the end of my post) but we could theoretically run with this question. At what time in the game do you think (as you stand there in the cold / rain / wind);
- This is garbage again.
- Why do I put myself through this?
- Will we ever score a goal?
- I wish I was at home / how long to go?
- Why don't we pass the ball about like the opposition?
Maybe you never have these thoughts. I have thought one or all of the above for nearly every home game this season. Wonder how many casual supporters we have lost because of it. When you look around at home games it is the same old faces that are there. When the football is good you see unfamiliar faces and the attendances are higher.
The old chestnut is that 19 clubs would gladly swap places with us now. It's a tough one to wrestle with in your own mind. I thought Exeter played some lovely football that was nice on the eye. They are 16th. Would I rather we played lovely pretty football and were 16th? Not sure.
Anyone who predicts that we score 3 or more goals can have an extra point with their haul for this game (if it materialises). Maybe we can will that to happen for the first time since Game 3 (Fleetwood away). I was there to see that and I want to see 3 or more goals again.

I think we're overdue a win and as the chant now goes, "we only score one goal", I'll go for Albion 1 Accrington 0.

Well everyone has gone for a Brewers win so far so which is always a bit of a worry, though great to see we are all so optimistic despite an autumn and winter with only rare moments of relief.
1-1 draw seems to be the score of the moment so I'll stick with that.
Just a thought on what has changed on the goalscoring front. How many did we get last year from Zola and Paterson picking one out from 20 yards or more? Why don't we try that a bit more?
And how many penalties did we get from Maghoma running at pace into the box? To be fair, Ismail was getting there in the last home game - keep it going.
Final observation - Chris Hussey is still third top scorer with three - on the 1st March! Chip in guys! It's not all about the strikers!

Otep - your synopsis rang so true for me and I know fans that stand around me feel the same. I persevere though in the hope that we will improve and actually start scoring some goals and perhaps play a little more entertaingly.
With this in mind (and bearing in mind the bribery on offer) I am going for a 3.0 Brewers win this afternoon.

Back online just in time for this match, I've not had chance to check the table yet but my predictions were too optimistic, so I must be slipping down the table. Surely we're due a win though, so (and taking into account your bonus offer), I'm going for:-
Brewers 3 - 1 Accrington

Another correct prediction!
