Only five clubs remain with 100 percent records after the latest set of League One matches on Tuesday.
Port Vale, Nottingham Forest, Cheltenham Town, Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion made it two wins out of two to follow opening day successes on Saturday.
Port Vale are the new leaders of the division after a 1-0 victory at Oldham Athletic.
Following a goalless first half at Boundary Park, Akpo Sodje made it two goals in as many games for The Valiants on 66 minutes.
Nottingham Forest look to be living up to their pre-season billing as League One promotion favourites after a 2-0 win at Blackpool.
Jack Lester broke the deadlock just before half time for Forest at Bloomfield Road before Grant Holt (73) sealed the win for Colin Calderwood's side.
Cheltenham Town continued their surprisingly good start to the new season with a 1-0 home win over Tranmere Rovers.
Kayode Odejayi (pictured) struck the winner after eight minutes for John Ward's side at Whaddon Road.
Brentford are also on maximum points after a 1-0 success at Northampton Town.
Chris Moore struck the winner for the South West Londoners on 71 minutes at The Sixfields Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion needed a second-half goal to defeat Gillingham 1-0 at The Withdean Stadium.
The Seagulls had to wait until 67 minutes to take the lead, as Jake Robinson found the scoresheet for the home side.
Huddersfield Town got back to winning ways with a convincing 3-0 win over Yorkshire rivals Rotherham United.
Luke Beckett gave The Terriers the lead from the penalty spot on 36 minutes before Pawel Abbott doubled Huddersfield's advantage just before the break.
With 11 minutes remaining, Gary Taylor-Fletcher made history by scoring the 500,000th goal in English league football for Huddersfield's third at The Galpharm Stadium.
Doncaster Rovers came from a goal down to defeat Crewe Alexandra 3-1 at Belle Vue.
Despite Nicky Maynard handing The Railwaymen the lead on 11 minutes, Bruce Dyer levelled for Dave Penney's side eight minutes later.
Donny then claimed the lead through Kevin Horlock on 63 minutes before James Coppinger (71) made it three for the South Yorkshire club.
Bradford City came from a goal down to defeat Bristol City 2-1 at Valley Parade.
Scott Murray gave The Robins the lead after just two minutes, but The Bantams turned things around with two goals in a matter of seconds before the break.
A Dean Windass free kick levelled matters on 42 minutes before David Graham scored Bradford's winner seconds after the restart.
Leyton Orient took the plaudits in their London derby clash with Millwall after a 2-0 home success.
The Lions went a man down after just four minutes at Brisbane Road, as Tony Craig was sent off for a professional foul on Shane Tudor.
The O's eventually made the man advantage pay dividends, as Lee Steele scored on the stroke of half time before Gary Alexander doubled Orient's advantage on 78 minutes for the victory.
Yeovil Town are the only side in League One to start the season off with two straight draws after a goalless stalemate with Bournemouth at Huish Park.
Finally, ten-man Swansea City had to come from behind to draw 2-2 at Scunthorpe United.
The Swans went a man down after Alan Tate was sent off for serious foul play on 16 minutes, but they took a half-time lead through Andy Robinson.
The Iron responded well after the restart, as Andy Crosby equalised from the penalty spot on 49 minutes before Billy Sharp gave Scunthorpe the lead on 67 minutes.
That lead was short-lived, however, as Rory Fallon brought Swansea back to level terms on 78 minutes for a share of the spoils at Glanford Park.
