Coventry’s lunchtime win over Watford has opened up a three-point lead over Middlesbrough, who were held at home by Wrexham.
Millwall are only two points back in third after beating Leicester while Bristol City and Stoke complete the top-five after wins over Birmingham and Portsmouth this afternoon.
Charlton and Hull shared the points at the MKM while QPR lost ground with defeat at Derby.
At the other end Sheffield Wednesday remain on -6 points after entering administration and falling to a 2-1 home defeat to Oxford United and they are joined in the drop zone by free-falling Norwich, who went down at Swansea, and Steel City rivals United, who lost at Preston last night.
Blackburn’s first home win of the season took them above the dotted line and within a place of their beaten opponents Southampton, who have won just one of their past 11 games to pile the pressure on Will Still.
