Nottingham Forest’s game against Reading at the City Ground was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
It was the only game to fall victim to the weather in the second-tier.
The Reds may have dropped a place in the Sky Bet Championship table yesterday but results largely went their way overall.
Sabri Lamouchi’s men suffered back-to-back defeats in the Championship for the first time this season this week. They were beaten by Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium last weekend, before Hull City beat them at the City Ground on Wednesday.
But they are still well-placed in the league table, as teams around them again dropped points yesterday.
Leaders West Bromwich Albion looked to have won their game against Charlton Athletic despite being down to 10-men when Hal Robson-Kanu put them 2-1 ahead with less than 10 minutes remaining. But Josh Cullen netted a stoppage-time penalty for the Addicks to deny the Baggies victory.
Preston North End were yesterday’s big winners as they came from two goals down to beat Blackburn Rovers 3-2 at Deepdale to go second.
That result saw Leeds United drop into third place following their goalless draw with Sheffield Wednesday, with the Owls now sat just one point behind Leeds in fourth.
Competition
10-man Fulham managed to secure a goalless draw away at Middlesbrough which sees them remain in the play-offs in fifth place.
Bristol City and Queens Park Rangers sit directly below the Cottagers in the table, but are yet to play this weekend. Bristol City face Wigan at Ashton Gate later today, whilst QPR face Brentford at Loftus Road on Monday.
Following their late equaliser against West Brom, Charlton moved above Forest in the league table on goal difference alone.
That leaves the Reds ninth in the table, just one point off the play-offs. They remain ahead of the likes of Swansea City and Birmingham City who are both also currently sat on 22 points.
Had the Reds picked up three points yesterday, they would’ve moved up to fourth in the league and would be just two points off league leaders West Brom.
Lamouchi’s men will now turn their attention to next weekend. They face a trip to Kenilworth Road to play Luton Town.
The Hatters were beaten 2-1 away at Birmingham City yesterday, so will be looking to bounce back in front of their home crowd.
