From the 11 matches I managed to get just 6 right which is probably one less than I needed to be if I’m going to hit the 55% target of correct predicitions over the course of the season. That return leaves me with a strike rate of 177 out of 330 which for all you maths fans is 53.6%. Basically the target is 209 correct predictions which means I have to get 32 out of the next 50 correct if I am going to hit the target. I really do have my work cut out as that means I’m going to have to start turning in returns of 6 or 7 out of 10 between now and the end of the season.
Like Sunderland and their relegation issues it is not mathematically impossible just yet but it is looking less than likely – I certainly am going to have to think long and hard over the final few weeks as my reputation is at stake (I wouldn’t say my livelihood – it’s not THAT important) But like any good or bad tipster I’m ready to go again and the Week 35 predictions are just around the corner. Until then.
