Ipswich Town, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Leeds United, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Watford stars all feature.
Another round of Championship action has been and gone with Leeds United still searching for their first win under Darko Milanic and Norwich City retaining the lead at the top of the table.
Here are the best performers in the Championship over the weekend across a number of categories.
Goals
| Position | Team | Goals | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daryl Murphy | FW | Ipswich | 2 | 1 | 90 |
| Callum Wilson | FW | Bournemouth | 2 | 1 | 89 |
| Albert Adomah | MF | Middlesbrough | 1 | 1 | 90 |
| Michail Antonio | MF | Forest | 1 | 1 | 90 |
| Giuseppe Bellusci | DF | Leeds | 1 | 1 | 90 |
Two players top this section with Daryl Murphy of Ipswich Town and Callum Wilson of Bournemouth both bagging two goals each. Unfortunately in Murphy’s case, he wasn’t able to help his side to a win.
Assists
| Position | Team | Goal Assist | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Henri Lansbury | MF | Forest | 2 | 1 | 90 |
| Harry Arter | MF | Bournemouth | 1 | 1 | 90 |
| Craig Davies | FW | Bolton | 1 | 1 | 71 |
| Simon Francis | DF | Bournemouth | 1 | 1 | 90 |
| Frédéric Bulot | MF | Charlton | 1 | 1 | 90 |
Former Arsenal midfielder Henri Lansbury registered more assists than any other player over the weekend. His work rate was vital in the 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town which helped to keep Forest joint top of the league.
Tackles Won
| Position | Team | Won Tackle | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tommaso Bianchi | MF | Leeds | 13 | 1 | 90 |
| Tim Ream | DF | Bolton | 8 | 1 | 90 |
| Nikolay Bodurov | DF | Fulham | 6 | 1 | 90 |
| Kieran Lee | MF | Sheff Wed | 6 | 1 | 90 |
| Tyrone Mings | DF | Ipswich | 6 | 1 | 90 |
Leeds United midfielder Tommaso Bianchi was head and shoulders above anyone else in this category. He got stuck in and broke up the play routinely against Sheffield Wednesday, making it difficult for the Owls to build any pressure in the 1-1 draw.
Saves
| Position | Team | Saves | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Artur Boruc | GK | Bournemouth | 6 | 1 | 90 |
| Scott Carson | GK | Wigan | 5 | 1 | 90 |
| Adam Collin | GK | Rotherham | 5 | 1 | 90 |
| Alex Smithies | GK | Huddersfield | 5 | 1 | 90 |
| David Button | GK | Brentford | 4 | 1 | 90 |
Some may well have been surprised when Boruc made the step down from the Premier League to the Championship. However, he’s in great form and produced several key saves as the Cherries won away at Bolton Wanderers.
Accurate Passes
| Position | Team | Accurate Pass | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Richard Stearman | DF | Wolves | 90 | 1 | 90 |
| Daniel Tözsér | MF | Watford | 73 | 1 | 90 |
| Richard Keogh | DF | Derby | 69 | 1 | 90 |
| Scott Golbourne | DF | Wolves | 69 | 1 | 90 |
| Zak Whitbread | DF | Derby | 69 | 1 | 90 |
Richard Stearman was the most accurate player in terms of key passes over the weekend. However, it’s worth noting that four out of the top five names are all defenders, which is a tribute to the way Daniel Tozser protected the ball in Watford’s 1-1 draw against Brighton.
