After appearing to have done the hard work by thrashing Burnley 5-2 last weekend, Sheffield United were unable to complete the job and take over at the top, losing to struggling in Rotherham in midweek.
It was a sequence of results which summed up the unpredictable nature of the Championship, with all the teams capable of beating each other and a managerial sacking around every corner - Leam Richardson was the latest manager to bite the dust, just weeks after being handed a three-year contract at Wigan.
However, it was not just the second tier which threw up surprises this week, with League One Lincoln City handing out a Carabao Cup shock only days after being on the receiving end of an FA Cup one. And, as for runaway leaders Plymouth, who saw that thrashing at Grimsby coming?
