Manchester City, obviously, intended their stay in the second
division, following the previous season's relegation, to be a short
one, and they were unbeaten in their first ten games, but they somehow
squandered a three-goal half-time lead at Doncaster, and Blackburn
took the opportunity to rise to the summit.

Nottingham Forest dropped a home point for the first time, and the
free-scoring Jimmy Constantine fired Millwall to the top with a
hat-trick, but they would only stay top for a week.

Gateshead notched up an incredible 18th successive league victory at
fortress Redheugh Park, after missing out on promotion by two points
in the previous season. Their very next home game, two weeks later,
however, saw their visitors, Rotherham become the first to pick up any
points at Gateshead in the whole of 1950, with a 3-0 win, and it was
the Millers who went on to win the title.
