Back in June, before the start of the new Championship season, TalkSport decided to have a Super Computer predict how the Championship table would look after five games.
The table would not have been easy to predict, with so many signings still to be made, and so it is perhaps not surprising to see that the actual league table looks quite different. However, it is interesting to see which teams are performing a lot better than expected and which still have work to do.
