An emphatic start to Owen Coyle's Wigan career as they thumped Barnsley 5-0 away from home. Wins for Reading and QPR too, the other relegated sides.
Bournemouth and Yeovil both managed opening day wins after promotion last season but Doncaster lost 3-1 at home to Blackpool, late goals from Tom Ince and Gary MacKenzie their undoing.
And Luke Murphy, making his Leeds debut today, fired a late winner in their game against Brighton.
Here are the results in full.
Barnsley 0-4 Wigan
Birmingham 0-1 Watford
Bournemouth 2-1 Charlton
Doncaster 1-3 Blackpool
Leeds 2-1 Brighton
Middlesbrough 1-2 Leicester
Millwall 0-1 Yeovil
Nottm Forest 1-0 Huddersfield
QPR 2-1 Sheff Wed
Reading 2-1 Ipswich
What are your thoughts on the opening day's action?
