With two-thirds of the Championship season played, the table is finally starting to take shape.
Many people expected surprise packages Huddersfield Town and Leeds United to drop off the pace, while big-spending Aston Villa have underachieved in their attempts to make an instant return to the Premier League.
Brighton and Newcastle have been fighting for top spot all season, while Norwich's recent defeat at Burton leaves a seven-point gap between sixth [the final play-off place] and seventh.
At the other end of the table, barring a miracle upturn in form like last season under Neil Warnock, Rotherham United look destined for the drop and it is a question of who will be joining them in May.
