"Coventry City maintained their unbeaten start to the Championship season and moved to within two points of early leaders Middlesbrough with a big 4-0 win at Millwall. The top two are the only sides in the division yet to taste defeat through eight matches, but after Boro could only draw at home to Stoke City on Tuesday, Coventry closed in 24 hours later."
"Not only are Coventry the highest scorers as a team, they have the Championship's top marksman leading their attack. Wright moved on to seven goals for the season with his double, scoring with his only two shots against Millwall. Both were defined by Opta as 'big' chances - among five Coventry created in this match - with Wright's team-mates continuing to put the ball on a plate for him."
"If Coventry slip up there, West Brom could have the opportunity to move into the automatic promotion places after they also won away from home on Wednesday. Josh Maja scored the only goal of the game as the Baggies edged past Norwich City 1-0 in the only other fixture to produce a winner. Elsewhere, Portsmouth fought back to a 2-2 draw against Watford thanks to Adrian Segecic, while QPR and Oxford United were goalless. Oxford at least moved out of the bottom three with their point."
