We are going to continue to do this for Bragging Rights only this week, then next Monday, we will be refining it somewhat, &, providing we get enough entries, offering some prizes. We will also be doing a Cheltenham Tipping Competition. More news on both of those in a day or so.
We really need to get a minimum of 50 daily entries if we are to offer prizes though, or I'll have Sam & James on my back. And when those two chunter, they chunter big time.
One change we will make this week is to rectify the anomaly whereby some folks only enter some days, & therefore by default finish higher than those who play every day. So everyone who enters will be notionally "charged" 1 point for days they miss.
OK then, on we go.

This is one of the most fierce local rivalries, between two teams separated by just 7 miles of the A52 either side of J25 of the M1, part of which is named "Brian Clough Way".
Forest are a proud club with a great history, Derby County not so much.
Both clubs sit just outside the play-off zone at present, with Derby County 7th & Forest 9th.
Here's a few "Match Facts" to digest;
◾Nottingham Forest are winless in six league matches against Derby (D3 L3); they last had a longer run between 1904 and 1914 (eight matches).
◾The last two Championship encounters between Nottingham Forest and Derby have ended goalless.
◾Martin O'Neill's last league meetings with Derby County came during the 2007-08 season when he was Aston Villa manager, winning 2-0 and 6-0.
◾Derby haven't drawn three consecutive away league matches since March 2018, when the third game in that run was a goalless draw against Nottingham Forest.
◾Nottingham Forest have not won three consecutive home league matches since a run of four in November 2017.
◾There has been a red card shown in five of the last seven Championship meetings between Nottingham Forest and Derby at the City Ground (one to Forest, four to Derby).

HT/FT Derby , Derby @ 7/2
Closing time for entries is 7.15pm.
Wish I'd stuck with it yesterday
Seems to be the score to go for recently.
Hoping it will continue the trend of being a cagey affair, under 2.5 goals @ 4/5 for me please, thanks.
Though it looks like 17/2
