Championship round-up

Charlton expect Newcastle to return with an improved offer for Robbie Elliot after rejecting a £100,000 bid for the goalkeeper.

Elliot, 25, impressed again this weekend with four outstanding saves as Charlton were held 2-2 at home to Scunthorpe.

Manager Chris Powell said: "There has been interest in Robbie that was rejected. But he's a very proud, local man who wants to better himself and I had no qualms about playing him. If Newcastle come back in we'll look at it. He's 24 and out of contract at the end of the season."

Charlton took a two-goal through headed goals from Johnnie Jackson and Bradley Wright-Phillips but Bobby Grant's late double knocked them off the top of League One.

Leyton Orient manager Russell Slade accused his side of being "fragile" after their 5-0 hammering at the hands of Brentford left them languishing at the bottom of the table without a point from their first four games.

Slade said: "We've given away soft goals again and if we don't start doing it right in both boxes we're going to cause ourselves real problems."

Crystal Palace boss Dougie Freedman was quick to praise his team following their 1-0 win at Hull, courtesy of an early James Chester own-goal.
"The performance was excellent and we were resilient at the back," said Freedman after seeing his team extend their winning run to three games.

Millwall suffered their first defeat of the season as Guly Do Prado scored the only goal of the game to keep Southampton top of the Championship. Manager Kenny Jackett said: "We just lacked quality. The effort and commitment were there but we didn't do ourselves justice at times and I was frustrated."

Watford were held to a 0-0 draw at Coventry City but manager Sean Dyche felt his side should have been awarded two penalties.

Dyche said: "Our first call for a penalty was as near definite and the second one was definite."

Dagenham & Redbridge won 1-0 at Bradford in League Two while AFC Wimbledon were held 1-1 at home by Hereford and Barnet drew 2-2 at Rotherham.
