All,
Apologies for being a little quiet of late. I had an operation that has kept me out of action for a few days but slowly on the mend again now.
I note there has been some further confusion over the preview writing, with OFB and I under the impression that Malcom wanted to do some but with that not being the case, I've redrafted the roster again. No major changes but I understand that Powmill-Naemore has volunteered to take the Swansea game previously allocated to Malcolm (thanks PN), and I've just put myself down the rest for now so as not to change anyone else's diaries:
| Norwich (A) | 24-Oct | OFB |
| Stoke (H) | 28-Oct | AR |
| Plymouth (A) | 04-Nov | PN |
| Leicester (H) | 11-Nov | MS |
| Bristol City (A) | 25-Nov | AR |
| Preston (H) | 28-Nov | MB |
| Leeds (A) | 02-Dec | CH |
| Ipswich (H) | 09-Dec | DEL |
| Hull (H) | 13-Dec | FD |
| Swansea (A) | 16-Dec | PN |
| WBA (H) | 23-Dec | OFB |
| Rotherham (A) | 26-Dec | PN |
| Huddersfield (A) | 29-Dec | MS |
| Coventry (H) | 01-Jan | AR |
| Millwall (A) | 13-Jan | CH |
| Rotherham (H) | 20-Jan | DEL |
| Birmingham (A) | 27-Jan | FD |
| Sunderland (H) | 03-Feb | AR |
| Bristol City (H) | 10-Feb | OFB |
| Preston (A) | 14-Feb | MB |
| Leicester (A) | 17-Feb | PN |
| Plymouth (H) | 24-Feb | MS |
| Stoke (A) | 02-Mar | AR |
| Norwich (H) | 06-Mar | CH |
| QPR (A) | 09-Mar | DEL |
| Blackburn (H) | 16-Mar | FD |
| Soton (A) | 29-Mar | AR |
| Sheff Wed (H) | 01-Apr | OFB |
| Swansea (H) | 06-Apr | PN |
| Hull (A) | 10-Apr | MS |
| Ipswich (A) | 13-Apr | AR |
| Leeds (H) | 20-Apr | CH |
| Cardiff (A) | 27-Apr | DEL |
| Watford (H) | 04-May | FD |
Andy
That gives you a further 7 to do, which seems a lot. I’d be happy to take one off you, provided there’s a bit of a gap between the ones I’m down for. So, for example, I could do Sunderland at home on 3 Feb, or Southampton away on 29 March.
Thanks Clive. More than happy if anyone wants to volunteer - take your pick and I’ll amend the list on this thread so it’s easy for everyone to find.
Thanks Andy. I’ll do the Sunland game on 3 Feb, if that’s ok with you?
Thanks Martin. I’ll stick you down for it.

@andy-r - Thanks for that updated list, although there are no changes in it for me. I don't commit all the other matches to memory but hopefully everyone can cope with any changes in what is left in the Diasboro season. I suspect most of the contributors will have enjoyed the experience and I hope that most of the readers (we know there are "lurkers" out there) have enjoyed the variety of approaches shown in the Openers/Starters posted so far.
Just a note that there was an error on he previous list, as I'd mistakenly put PN instead of CH for Sunderland on 3rd Feb.
Updated list exc. Chelsea away.
