Starting with the hosts, while Coventry might have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, Frank Lampard's high-flying squad have shattered a string of long-standing records this time around. Embarking on what has become a famous fairytale in the Midlands, the Sky Blues are riding a major wave of momentum.

The trip to North Wales ended in frustration, with injuries, illness, and a costly mistake from Onel Hernandez all contributing to a 1-0 defeat at Wrexham.

Wowzers - who predicted this stunning scoreline? Perhaps Nathan Jones, though he might have wished for even more goals. This was no easy task - Ipswich Town, a Premier League side just last season and one of the promotion favourites, stood firm with an unbeaten home record this campaign. In front of a packed crowd of 28,006, two astute managers clashed, but it was Jones' tactical courage - playing two up front - that helped deliver this win.

A second consecutive win, this time a commanding 30 victory over Rovers, has injected real belief into the Addicks faithful. Nathan Jones' side were absolutely relentless, with and without the ball, and did justice to the Latin motto on Blackburn's badge, Arte et Labore which translates as skill and hard work.

I signed him at Luton and he did wonderfully, and I bought him at Southampton to play in the Premier League. He's someone I have real faith in,
