Prutton comes off well, with Forest having a predicted 56 points in his table, compared to 54 in real life.

"I spoke to a Forest fan at a charity event recently and he said people think I'm too hard on them. I guarantee there's no ill will to any club," he said.
"These teams are fans' babies. They mean everything to them.
"I enjoy the predictions. The guy who helps me with them said 'they're actually quite accurate' when he added it all up.
