21st-23rd October
As we returned from the international break, 22 players were still standing for Round 9. All teams were still available for selection – four different teams were picked this week.
In the 3pm games, Brentford played Burnley at the Gtech Community stadium – Ross Milton had picked the Bees and he eased through after a 3-0 win. Newcastle took on Crystal Palace at St James’ Park – Albert Au, Andrew Emmett and Ralph Dealing had picked the Magpies to beat the Eagles and a 4-0 win saw them through. Nottingham Forest hosted Luton at the City Ground – 15 players had picked Forest and it looked plain sailing as they took a 2 goal lead but two late Luton goals saw just over two thirds of the remaining players drop out. On Saturday night, Sheffield United welcomed Manchester United to Bramhall Lane – John Roberts, Lauren Haigh and Michael Thomas had picked the Mancs and they go through with a 2-1 win.
15 players drop out meaning we are now down to single figures with just 7
players left standing for Round 10!
I am away in Spain for a long weekend from next Thursday, so an early heads up –
deadline for Round 10 is
noon
on
THURSDAY
26th October.
