Derby County, Leeds United, Reading, Cardiff City, Millwall and Brentford stars all feature.

Here are the best Championship performances from the weekend’s games across a variety of areas.

Three players all bagged braces over the weekend though two of those players were in the same team, as Jeff Hendrick and Johnny Russell helped the Rams destroy Wolves in Saturday’s early kick-off.

Reading star Jordan Obita produced more crosses than any other player over the weekend, as he provided a constant threat from wide positions in Reading’s 1-0 home defeat against Charlton.

| Alan Judge | MF | Brentford | 5 | 1 | 90 |
There was no getting the better of Derby star Craig Forsyth and Cardiff midfielder Aron Gunnarsson over the weekend. Both players were superb in terms of getting stuck in and breaking up the play effectively.
Saves

Millwall goalkeeper David Forde did his best to try and keep his side in the game against Brentford, but his efforts were fruitless as his side lost 3-2. He made more saves than any other goalkeeper over the weekend.

Derby stars feature yet again but it was Reading’s Oliver Norwood who was the most accurate in terms of passing. Nigel Adkins will be disappointed that his side weren’t more precise going forward.
