We are one game short of the halfway point in English football's second division and it has been eventful.
While the top two have opened up a gap ahead of third - second-placed Brighton are eight points in front of Reading - and just nine points separates the Royals and 13th-placed Aston Villa.
So many sub-plots are being created, with both the top and bottom of the table tough to call.
Steve Bruce's Villa are starting to look solid, while Leeds, Reading and Derby are showing good form to push for the top six - but can they keep it up?
