We take a closer look at some of the winners and losers from the second tier after the fourth round of fixtures, and how some of Boro’s rivals are shaping up ahead of the international break.
Scroll down and flick through our picture gallery to see who shone and who struggled:
9. L: Andre Ayew
The Swansea forward was accused of "embarrassing" behaviour following a 2-1 win over Millwall. Ayew screamed in agony as he went down in an off-the-ball incident with Millwall defender Jake Cooper, much to the disapproval of Lions boss Gary Rowett. "There is no place for that in that game," he said. "I thought it was pretty embarrassing. There wasn't a mark on him." Photo: Marc Atkins
10. W: Preston
Alex Neil's side scored four goals in a remarkable 18-minute spell as they came from 2-0 down to win 4-2 at Brentford. "I think this is the first time, certainly for us, that we've been here and had more possession than Brentford and, to be honest, took the game to them and been better," said Neil after the match.
