Skysports.com selects the best of the bunch from the latest round of Football League fixtures.

Team of the week

Richard Lee - Brentford
Charlton may have come off the rails of late, but that should take nothing away from Brentford's 1-0 victory at The Valley. A resolute defensive display from the Bees, led by Lee, paved the way for an impressive success, which also piles more pressure on the out-of-sorts Addicks.
Kyle Naughton - Leicester City
Leicester are back in sight of the play-off places following a convincing 3-0 victory away at struggling Scunthorpe. The Foxes relied on their back four to do the damage at Glanford Park, with on-loan full-back Naughton wrapping things up 14 minutes from time with his fifth goal of a productive season.
Paul Robinson - Millwall
Burnley headed into their home date with Millwall on the back of three successive wins, and five in their last six outings. The Lions brought Eddie Howe's side back to earth with a bump, though, as they left Turf Moor with a 3-0 win. Two of those goals were provided by club captain Robinson, who led by example throughout.
Miguel Vitor - Leicester City
While Naughton may have put the seal on things for Leicester on Saturday, Vitor was the man who had them in complete control against Scunthorpe. The Portuguese defender returned from injury against the Iron to bag two goals. His first arrived shortly after the half-hour mark and he doubled the Foxes' lead 18 minutes from time.
Sam Collins - Hartlepool United
Hartlepool stopped Plymouth's recent revival in its tracks at Victoria Park. The Pilgrims had won three in a row to give their survival bid a welcome boost, but an epic trip to the North East proved to be in vain. Collins was among the goals for the hosts as they picked up a 2-0 win - keeping them in the play-off picture.
Anthony Charles - Aldershot
Aldershot have now suffered only one defeat in their last 10 League Two outings. Yes, they may have drawn seven of those games, but that is an impressive record in anyone's book. They ensured that they claimed back-to-back victories over the weekend as Charles' first-half opener helped them to a 2-1 win over Cheltenham.
Jake Robinson - Torquay United
Torquay were the most convincing winners in the fourth tier over the weekend, with the Gulls putting five past high-flying Shrewsbury without reply. They held a narrow 1-0 lead at the interval, before turning up the heat in the second half. Robinson got their next two goals, with the midfielder netting twice in the space of as many minutes - including a successful spot-kick.
John Mousinho - Stevenage
Wycombe remain inside the automatic promotion places in League Two, but saw that lofty standing take a knock on home soil against Stevenage. A shock 1-0 defeat means the Chairboys are not sitting quite so pretty. Mousinho came back to haunt them on Saturday, with the former Wycombe midfielder grabbing the only goal of the game at Adams Park.
George Boyd - Peterborough United
Another weekend, another goal-fest from Peterborough. The free-scoring Posh took their remarkable tally for the season to 82 on Saturday as they hammered Carlisle 6-0. A resounding success at London Road saw Darren Ferguson's side dominate from the off, with Boyd notching either side of the interval to help them home.
Sam Baldock - MK Dons
No Football League weekend would be complete without a hat-trick hero, and this week Baldock takes that honour. The MK Dons frontman ran Colchester ragged on Saturday, helping the Dons to recover from going a goal down to win 3-1. He grabbed his first three minutes into the second half, doubled that tally on 62 minutes and claimed the match ball four minutes from time.
Andy Gray - Barnsley
Few gave Barnsley much of a chance when they arrived at high-flying Cardiff on Saturday. They were, however, to snatch a share of the spoils in a dramatic 2-2 draw. Experienced frontman Gray helped the Tykes take a point as his two goals, including a last-minute leveller, left the promotion-chasing Bluebirds frustrated.
