Week Thirty-Four

This weekends we only had the lower leagues in action in both England and Scotland. That means that we had just fourteen of our teams in action and out of  them three failed to score any goals.
The highest score for us came from the Scottish Championship where RANGERS won 4-1 at home to Cowdenbeath. It has been a very long time for Rangers to hit big and the four goals now brings them up to a total of 67 goals. This will not be their lowest score on record as they only picked up a total of 62 goals back in our second season of 1984/85. In their last two seasons they have scored over 100 goals with 107 and 120 last season.

BRISTOL CITY remained top here this weekend as they drew 2-2 at home to BARNSLEY. City are now on 82 goals while Barnsley are on 61. PRESTON are still second as they drew 1-1 away to Fleetwood.  Preston picked up goal number 78.  We still have three teams in the play-off  zone. MK Dons are their in fourth place followed by SHEFFIELD UNITED. They lost 2-1 at home against Crewe. United are on 75 goals this weekend. PETERBOROUGH lost 1-0 at home against COVENTRY.
