The Whites slipped to a home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday after two late goals from Jacob Murphy and Atdhe Nuhiu. The gap from third is now six points - but Marcelo Bielsa has called for calmness. Here, we round-up the winners and losers from another entertaining and action-packed weekend in the second-tier. Scroll and click through the pages to see who shone and struggled this weekend:
1. L: Paul Cook
The pressure on Cook intensified after a 2-0 home defeat to Bristol City means it is just one win in 15 games for Wigan. If there is any comfort, it is that the Latics are just two points from safety.
2. W: Barnsley
The great escape is happening. Gerhard Strubers arrival has sparked a huge upturn in form from the Tykes, which leaves them just one point away from exiting the bottom three. It wasnt long ago since they were rock bottom!
3. L: Graeme Jones
Jones and his players were booed off after the 2-1 home defeat to Birmingham - Lutons sixth defeat in seven matches. An honest Jones conceded he isnt doing a very good job but insists he isnt thinking about the sack.
4. W: Brentford
The Bees moved to within six points of second place Leeds with a 3-1 win over West London rivals QPR. However, boss Thomas Frank is refusing to talk about promotion and instead just wants fans to dream.
5. L: Tobias Figueiredo
There was late drama at Reading. Ben Watsons controversial injury-time goal looked to have won it for Nottingham Forest only for Figueiredo to turn Jordan Obitas cross into his own net - who later slammed the match officials.
6. W: Fulham
The Cottagers won 1-0 against who Scott Parker called the best counter-attacking team in the Championship in Hull City, but it came at a cost with Aleksandar Mitrovic set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines with an ankle injury.
