    The Championship opening weekend

    The football is back. Cardiff head to Burton but who is everyone else playing?.

    C:WindowsTempphp989A.tmpThe new season is almost here. The Championship starts on Friday with two matches followed by nine on Saturday and one on Sunday.


    Relegated Sunderland start their campaign on Friday eveing with a home match v Derby County, live on Sky Sports, ko 7:45pm.


    The other Friday game is Nottingham Forest v Millwall. That game has been moved from Saturday to avoid clashing with Nottinghamshire's T20 Blast fixture at Trent Bridge on Saturday 5 August against Durham.


    Cardiff start their campaign at Burton Albion on Saturday afternoon. Last season this fixture, a 2 - 0 win for the home side, resulted in Paul Trollope's dismissal. Hopefully this time around the outcome will be a lot more favourable.


    The other two teams relegated from the Premier League, Middlesbrough and Hull City both start away from home at Wolves and Aston Villa respectively.

    Sunderland haven't started off life in the Championship particularly well...

    1-0 down to Derby at home already.

    Job done by Cardiff. We were appalling against QPR. We have an injury crisis already and a feeble transfer window is not helping.

    Did they play well or did you play poorly? Still only the first match of the season so a long way to go...
