Hide AdBobby Thomas (Barnsley) – Providing very handily on the goal-scoring and assists front, not to mention doing the 'day job' from a defensive perspective. Grabbed a dramatic late leveller for the Reds at Portsmouth and is quickly winning friends and influencing people.
Anthony O'Connor (Harrogate Town) – Showed just why Simon Weaver wanted to bring him in so much with a commanding defensive performance as the Sulphurities claimed a key three points at Brunton Park.
Aden Flint (Sheffield Wednesday) – Shook off the rust with an assertive display on his first start since the autumn as Wednesday secured a big three points in their 'six-pointer' with Plymouth at Hillsborough.
Ollie Turton (Huddersfield Town) – Like Flint, Turton excelled and showed all his nous on his first outing for a good while. Involved in Town's equaliser against QPR

Hide AdCyrus Christie (Hull City) – Had a ball down the right as the Tigers continued to showcase their improvement under Liam Rosenior. A threat all game against Cardiff and almost helped himself to a goal with a curled effort.
Will Vaulks (Sheffield Wednesday) – Has shown wonderful consistency in the Owls' strong winter and again stepped up to the plate when it mattered against Plymouth. Involved in the only goal of the game for team-mate Callum Paterson. Authoritative.
Alex Gilliead (Bradford City) – Handed the captain's armband for the day and the responsibility sat well with him. Produced his best display of the season against Mansfield Town and was a hive of industry and a real influence.
Riley McGree (Middlesbrough) – The Aussie midfielder showed what he brings to the party with another bewitching performance for Michael Carrick's on-song Boro. Applied the finishing touch to an excellent team goal as the Teessiders again looked the part against Blackpool
