Bournemouth 1-2 Blackpool

Bristol City 0-3 Peterborough

Britt Assombalonga is looking like the signing of the division so far. He was unstoppable at the weekend: the goals he scored, the pace, the power. He held the ball up well and moved well for his first goal and he didn't even look at the goal when he struck it. But there is no goalkeeper in the world that could stop it. For the second goal he showed his pace and power, his intelligence to run away from defenders, know where the space is and then be composed with his finish. It is not just about power with him. It was an equally good goal as his first one. Peterborough are scoring goals for fun and confidence is high. They were relegated but nothing has really changed. They have not panicked. Darren Ferguson is still in charge and encouraging them to play great football and the goals they are scoring, and the way they are playing, is fantastic.

Chesterfield 2-0 AFC Wimbledon

Chesterfield's success so far this season is all about team spirit and having those key individuals that can change games for you. Gary Roberts has been in sensational form for Chesterfield. At this level it is about sticking together as a team and being hard to beat. But scoring the goals that Chesterfield are, and playing the football that they are, is terrific. The stylish way that they are playing is absolutely incredible and they have key individuals who can change the course of games. That is why they are flying high at the top of the table. The most important thing for a manager when they are winning is consistency of team selection. They have a relatively small squad. If the manager can pick 10 of his best starting XI each week, the team spirit builds, the players understand what each other is doing and they get stronger. That is happening at Chesterfield.
