Championship
• With Leicester beating Leeds 1-0 in the early kick-off, the onus was on Burnley to keep tabs with the leaders. However, they could only draw 1-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday after Christopher Maguire cancelled out Sam Vokes's opener late in the first half. That meant QPR climbed to second, thanks to a 2-1 win at home to Huddersfield. Charlie Austin scored both goals for Harry Redknapp's team, either side of Nahki Wells's second goal since becoming Huddersfield's record signing eight days ago.
• While the most striking result came at Reading, who battered Bolton 7-1 to move into the play-off places, Derby County overcame last weekend's heavy defeat by Leicester with a single-goal victory at home to Brighton, while a pair of Henri Lansbury penalties set up Nottingham Forest for a 4-1 win against Blackburn Rovers.
• Gabrielle Angella put Watford ahead at Bournemouth before he conceded a penalty and was shown a straight red card with an hour to play, allowing Lewis Grabban the chance to earn a point.
• Down near the bottom of the table, Ian Holloway's first home game in charge of Millwall ended in victory, with debutant Ryan Fredericks's fortuitous effort five minutes before half-time enough to inflict defeat on Ipswich Town. Fellow south Londoners and relegation-battling Charlton Athletic lost 1-0 at Middlesbrough.
• It was a good day for the bottom three, although they all remain in the same positions. Barnsley and Yeovil Town both recorded 2-0 wins, against Blackpool and Birmingham, and Doncaster hit three without reply at home to Wigan to strengthen their fight for survival.
League One
• With Brentford's eight-game winning streak coming to an end after a 1-1 draw at Walsall, Leyton Orient returned to the summit, having come from a goal down to defeat Crewe Alexandra 2-1. Both goals were scored by debutant Chris Dagnall, who was sprung from the bench at half-time with the match goalless. Third-placed Wolves' game away to Crawley was postponed.
• Preston remain in fourth, despite a draw at home to Coventry, while both Rotherham and Peterborough recorded 3-0 wins, against Shrewsbury and Tranmere respectively.
• The Carlisle centre-half Max Ehmer scored at both ends and was booked in an eventful 4-2 defeat at home to Colchester. Elsewhere, Port Vale edged out Oldham, struggling Bristol City drew 2-2 with MK Dons, Gillingham defeated Swindon Town 2-0, Notts County earned three points at basement side Stevenage and Sheffield United spurned a two-goal lead to draw at home to Bradford
League Two
• Of the 18 teams in action on Saturday afternoon, 10 failed to score, with the most notable blank coming from leaders Scunthorpe, who were held to a scoreless draw at home to AFC Wimbledon. Burton, who were second heading into the day's game, left Bury with a similarly boring point. That allowed Rochdale, 3-0 winners at home to Plymouth, the chance to go second.
• Southend struck three without reply past fellow promotion-chasing Chesterfield to move into fourth, three points behind Scunthorpe on 45, and Fleetwood also reduced their gap with a 2-0 triumph over Hartlepool.
• Nicky Wroe scored three minutes from the end to give Oxford the points against 10-man Wycombe, Portsmouth and Mansfield Town ended 1-1, while there were no goals between York and Bristol Rovers.
• Still, at least there was a game … spare a thought for Morecambe, who made the 288-mile journey to Exeter only for the pitch at St James' Park to fail an inspection less than an hour before kick-off. The games at Newport and Torquay were also postponed.
