The Teessiders have now picked up one point in their opening two games and, while it’s too early to take that much notice of the table, it’s worth taking a look at some early performances. Our Boro writer Joe Nicholson runs through the best and worst displays in his weekly Championship power rankings, scroll down and flick through our gallery to see them.
21. 4. QPR (+2)
Showed some impressive resilience to recover against Huddersfield. A good start under new boss Mark Warburton. Photo: Nathan Stirk
22. 3. Leeds (-2)
Had a late penalty appeal turned down against Forest after Jack Robinson's challenge on Stuart Dallas went unpunished. Should have been out of sight before then following their earlier chances. Photo: Alex Davidson
23. 2. Charlton (+2)
Have hit the ground running after winning the League One play-off final last season. Lyle Taylor broke the deadlock in a 3-1 win over Stoke and now has two goals in two games. Photo: Naomi Baker
24. 1. Sheffield Wednesday (+1)
The only other side with a 100 per cent record after two games. Caretaker manager Lee Bullen is certainly doing all he can. Photo: Pete Norton
