Queens Park Rangers have been crowned as Goal.com UK's Team of the Month for September.
The Goal.com UK team were asked to put forward their views on which club should be given the honour, and after a tough battle with West Bromwich Albion it was QPR who were chosen as the best team this month.
Neil Warnock's men have been in strong form this term, and are yet to lose a game in the Championship. They are being touted as early favourites to achieve promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season, as they have scored 22 and conceded only two goals - making them the team with the most potent attack and miserly defence in the second tier.
The Championship table toppers have a goal difference of +20 and a six-point lead over their nearest rivals Cardiff City.
The Loftus Road boss Warnock recently said after the draw with Milwall: "I'm happy with how things are going at the moment. The performances have been good, and this was another good display."
In the meantime, striker Jamie Mackie has been in the form of his life since making a move from Plymouth Argyle during the summer, and he has been key to the club's fortunes this term - scoring eight goals for the club.
QPR 3-0 Middlesbrough
Helguson, Ephraim & Mackie secure three points
Ipswich 0-3 QPR
Mackie (2) and Helguson on target again
Leicester 0-2 QPR
Mackie bags a brace in a win at the Walkers
QPR 3-0 Doncaster
Gorkss (2) and Taarabt score in a home victory
QPR 0-0 Millwall
Honourable mentions:
West Bromwich Albion, for their derby-day delight in beating Birmingham City, seeing off Manchester City in the League Cup, securing a point against Tottenham, and most importantly, a shock victory over Arsenal.
Chelsea, for continuing their stay at the top of the Premier League. Carlo Ancelotti's men did suffer a defeat to Manchester City, but answered their detractors with a Champions League victory over Olympique Marseille.
League One side Rochdale, for their marked improvement through the month of September. Following their listless start to the season, accumulating only four points through August, they managed to up their performances and have an undefeated run in the league through September - rising to fourth place in the process.
Port Vale, for their unblemished record in the League Two this month. The Staffordshire club played five league games and came out unscathed in them all, as they appear to be early favourites for promotion.
