Sports Mole's Championship Team of the Week

:Headline: Sports Mole's Championship Team of the Week: ID:181081: from db_amp
Sports Mole chooses its best XI, biggest numpty and best goal for gameweek 11 in the Championship.

Eleven games into the Championship season and not one team has yet started to pull away at the top of the pile as we go into the second international break of the campaign.

The top 10 clubs are separated by just four points after only two of them could pick up wins over the weekend.

Norwich City lead the way and are joined on 21 points by Nottingham Forest and Watford, with Derby County, Middlesbrough and Ipswich Town completing the playoff places.

At the other end of the table, Blackpool finally got a win and are off the bottom as Bolton Wanderers again disappointed by losing to 10-man Bournemouth.

Below, Sports Mole chooses its best XI from the weekend, as well as highlighting the biggest numpty and best goal.

Adam Collin (Rotherham United)
Few would have said that the Millers could get anything out of a trip to the league leaders, but they managed to earn a point at Carrow Road. The turning point in the game was when Collin made an incredible triple save that led to Rotherham streaking up the other end and earning a penalty for the opener. Just take a look at the video.

James Perch (Wigan Athletic)
Lowly Wigan picked up a much-needed point by drawing 2-2 at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Perch powerfully headed home the Latics' first but was also strong in the air all game long.
Daniel Ayala (Middlesbrough)
Boro continued their impressive start to the season by dealing with resurgent Fulham at the Riverside. Ayala helped keep Ross McCormack at bay and also made a key goal-line clearance.
Christophe Berra (Ipswich Town)
Another week in our best XI for Berra. He was once again a mighty presence at the back for Ipswich, who were within seconds of ending Forest's unbeaten start to the season at the City Ground on Sunday. He made numerous clearances and kept the league's top scorer Britt Assombalonga quiet for most of the game.
Matthew Briggs (Millwall)
Made his first league start for the Lions after seven games on the bench and proved to Ian Holloway that he should stay in the team with an energetic display as Millwall impressively held Derby at the iPro Stadium. Not only did Briggs look solid at the back, he also threatened going forward.

Chris Maguire (Sheffield Wednesday)
Scored one of the goals of the weekend with an arrow-like volley that put Wednesday in front in Saturday lunchtime's Yorkshire derby against Leeds. It wouldn't be enough for the win, though, as Leeds fought back for a point.
Alex Pritchard (Brentford)
The Bees are into the top 10 after overcoming Reading 3-1 and Pritchard scored one and made one at Griffin Park.
Francois Zoko (Blackpool)
A win at last for Blackpool and it was Zoko's surging run and cool finish that saw the Seasiders past Cardiff City on Friday night.
Kazenga LuaLua (Brighton & Hove Albion)
The Seagulls are now without a win in seven but would have been content with a 1-1 draw at Watford. LuaLua only came on after 53 minutes but was instantly the visitors' brightest spark and provided the assist for the equaliser.

Callum Wilson (Bournemouth)
Two assured finishes from the Cherries' frontman to win the game for them at Bolton - their first away win since the opening day of the season.
Daryl Murphy (Ipswich Town)
Wilson now has six for the season and so does Ipswich's Murphy, whose two precise goals were so close to being enough for all three points and a fifth win in six games for the Tractor Boys. They had to settle for one but are still just two points off the top.

Numpty of the Week

Jordan Rhodes: Usually so assured from 12 yards, Rhodes dragged his penalty wide for Blackburn Rovers against former club Huddersfield Town. The game ended goalless so it was a costly miss.

Goal of the Week

Daryl Murphy (Ipswich Town) vs. Nottingham Forest: Murphy also claims best goal for the opener against Forest. The Irishman plucked the ball out of the sky and took it around a defender with one touch before twisting and turning in the area and curling into the far corner.
