Not a problem: thanks for re-doing it. Why's it's like this, I don't know but I don't want to do is bang in the forecast scores and find out later on we had different hymn-sheets!
For the avoidance of doubt, the fixture list to be used for this and all subsequent rounds is to be found here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/scores-fixtures I appreciate it's in a weird order but that's for the BBC to explain, not me. What is important is that we all put the matches down in the same order, whatever it is. I do not undertake to check or correct your entries for you. I will endeavour to put the blank text forecast submission up as early as possible each time around. This will aid consistency and also save you typing. This is it for the inaugural 2024/25 round: Preston North End - Sheffield United Blackburn Rovers - Derby County Hull City - Bristol City Leeds United - Portsmouth Middlesbrough - Swansea City Millwall - Watford Oxford United - Norwich City Queens Park Rangers - West Bromwich Albion Stoke City - Coventry City Cardiff City - Sunderland Sheffield Wednesday - Plymouth Argyle Luton Town - Burnley Good luck to you all.
Thanks for changing my prediction order.....It seems that you are using a list of only Championship matches....I've been clicking on the daily list of all matches covering all leagues.....maybe if you continue using the championship only list this anomaly will continue all season....who knows.....last season we used the all divisions list which is alphabetically correct......next week the all divisions list is already alphabetically correct.
The Championship match listings continue all season to be non-alphabetical for some strange reason.....good job in past years we didn't do it this way we would have been well stressed out .
That's the way I've always done it Plym. Why on earth would anyone troll through a list including all the other divisions when there's a specific page for each division separately? Something has changed: the BBC has altered these webpages. Firstly, you'll remember that I was whingeing late last season because you could no longer click-through from the league table to the individual club page, although they'd added the club badge to each entry. I was moaning that they'd sacrificed useful functionality for pretty pictures. Those click-throughs are back now but even more annoyingly, you can't now get back to the Championship page once you've entered the club page: you have to go back out to "Football" then "Leagues and Cups" and finally "Championship". Now the fixtures aren't in alphabetic order. Why? Probably because the idiot who did the first change has now added club badges to the fixtures too. Either that or it's because Sky keep changing the schedules. It looks untidy but as long as we all use the same source, and to repeat, this is the source I've intended you to be using all along, it doesn't matter. It does matter if someone insists on using a different source and a different order but nobody would be that awkward, would they?

I see tonights two games are now in alphabetical order....I assume that will happen tomorrow as well....giving you extra work to do your marking..
Oh dear, never mind. Perhaps you could get onto the BBC and ask them to get it right in the first instance.
Nothing yet from Musty. As is to be expected at this time of the season, we've got a variety of opinions on most matches. We are unanimous that last season's 6th placed team Norwich will be too much for newly promoted Oxford. All of you think Hull will beat Bristol City: I'm not so sure: there were only 4 places between them last year. I've put Leeds down to beat Portsmouth like most of you but I think that one could surprise us. Three of us have jokers on Leeds which will yield plenty of points which will be points galore if it goes that way as it's the Super Match. Middlesbourgh and Norwich get one each and of course Joe's put his on Argyle to win at Sheffield Wednesday as well as predicting we'll end the season in the final play-off place. I sincerely hope you're right Joe. Plym hasn't gone back to his previous affection for a 45th minute goal, so SMH commands the second half, while Away has the first 15 minutes. Who knows how it will start..... In case anyone doesn't know, with no Premier League action yet, there are several matches on Sky Sports, including Argyle on Sunday. The new Sky+ feature may indeed be streaming all the games. Good luck to you all.
