Sports Mole's Championship Team of the Week

:Headline: Sports Mole's Championship Team of the Week: ID:137084: from db_amp
Sports Mole picks out its best XI, biggest numpty and best goal from Gameweek 30 of the Championship.

Round 30 of the Championship is now done and dusted and it gave us 28 goals and two red cards.

Table-toppers Leicester City saw their nine-game winning streak end as they drew 2-2 with Watford.

That gave Burnley and Queens Park Rangers the chance to close the gap on the Foxes, but only the former were able to do so.

They beat Millwall 3-1, while QPR were defeated at Derby County in Monday night's match.

At the foot of the table, four of the bottom five sides lost, with Barnsley the only one able to pick up a point against Ipswich Town.

Below, Sports Mole picks out its best XI as well as highlighting the biggest numpty and the best goal from Saturday and Monday's games.

Paul Robinson (Blackburn Rovers)
The veteran goalkeeper was on top form between the sticks against Middlesbrough as he kept a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw.

Kieran Trippier (Burnley)
A regular in our Team of the Week, Trippier is now top of the division's assisting charts after setting up both of Danny Ings's goals against Millwall. The duo seem to have had a telepathic connection this season.
Jamaal Lascelles (Nottingham Forest)
Promising young centre-back Lascelles scored his first ever league goal for Forest as they extended their unbeaten run to 12 games against Blackpool.
Miguel Llera (Sheffield Wednesday)
Wednesday may have been given an early advantage when Reading's Alex Pearce was sent off in the opening 10 minutes, but they still had to defend and Llera had one of his best games of the season at the back.
Jack Robinson (Blackpool)
Liverpool loanee Robinson provided the assist for Andy Keogh's late equaliser against Forest.

Dale Stephens (Brighton & Hove Albion)
The January arrival from Charlton Athletic has impressed for the Seagulls and in the narrow win over Doncaster Rovers put in an all-action performance.
Emyr Huws (Birmingham City)
Two games for the Blues, two appearances in Team of the Week for Manchester City loanee Huws, who looks right at home in the Championship and sent over a lovely free kick for their first goal at Charlton.
John Eustace (Derby County)
Eustace scored the one and only goal in Monday night's big game against QPR, his first strike in over two years. As well as that, he also provided good cover in front of the defence as QPR's extremely experienced team was shut out.
Adam Clayton (Huddersfield Town)
Clayton scored the winning goal against Wigan Athletic with a dipping 25-yard strike.

Federico Macheda (Birmingham)
Macheda has thrived in the Championship this season, first with Doncaster in 2013 and now with Birmingham, who he scored a match-winning brace for against Charlton.
Lukas Jutkiewicz (Bolton Wanderers)
Jutkiewicz is enjoying a lone role for his new club with Jermaine Beckford injured and scored a wonderful goal against Bournemouth, chesting the ball down before lobbing Lee Camp from outside the box.

Numpty of the Week

Ishmael Miller: Two Yeovil players were numpties this week but Miller edges out goalkeeper Marek Stech, who made two mistakes in the windy conditions to gift Leeds United their goals. Although Miller opened the scoring for the Glovers, he blazed a penalty over the bar that might have made the game safe - the sort of mistake that you can't make when you're in a relegation battle.

Goal of the Week

Danny Drinkwater (Leicester) vs. Watford: There was plenty of great goals this weekend but because of the importance of Drinkwater's strike, we're giving him the accolade. Leicester were just seconds away from their first defeat since the start of December when Drinkwater pinged the ball into the top corner:
