    That's as far as we go here this evening.

    It was a great night for Middlesbrough who fought back from a goal down to beat West Brom and go back up to sixth in the Championship table.

    There were also wins in the second tier for play-off hopefuls Coventry, struggling Reading and a first away victory of the season for the league's bottom side, Barnsley.

    In League One the top two Rotherham and Wigan both won and are starting to look more and more nailed on for automatic promotion.

    In League Two managerless Bradford lost again and Swindon went fifth with a 5-0 success over Walsall.

    We'll be back tomorrow at 19:30 GMT with six more Championship games.

    Hope you can join us then and thanks for your company this evening.

    Cheers!

    Well then, that's the last full-time result in from the Championship.

    There's still another 35 minutes or so to go in the game that was delayed in League One between Sunderland and Burton.

    Burton have just taken a 1-0 lead incidentally.

    Bolton also claimed a 3-1 win in the late League One match against Lincoln City.

    Reading 2-1 Birmingham City

    Reading withold a late barrage from Birmingham to make it back-to-back victories and a perfect start for interim boss Paul Ince.

    It's also a result that puts some more daylight between them and the bottom three.

    Jeremie Bela lines up a shot for Birmingham from just outside the area, but it's straight into the waiting hands of Karl Hein.

    Reading 2-1 Birmingham City

    Four minutes plus stoppages to play.

    Nervy times all of a sudden for the home fans as Birmingham push for a leveller.

    Middlesbrough 2-1 West Brom

    Seven successive home wins for Middlesbrough and they go sixth.

    West Brom led through Jayson Molumby's first-half goal, their first strike since 22 January but goals from Paddy McNair and Marcus Tavernier turned it around.

    Three defeats and a draw for Steve Bruce in his first four games in charge. Not good for the Baggies.

    Tom McIntyre OG (82 mins)

    Still life in this match.

    Birmingham with a chance to get back into it with an unfortunate own goal for Reading centre-back Tom McIntyre.

    A speculative effort towards goal from is looped over Karl Hein's head, he can only push it on to hos post but the rebound hits McIntyre's knee and goes into the back of the net.

    I said there'd be goals in this.

    I'm sorry.

    A point apiece does little for these two play-off chasing sides.

    Bristol City 1-2 Coventry City

    Coventry's push for the play-offs continues.

    They may have left it late to win it through Viktor Gyokeres but few of a Sky Blue persuasion will care.

    Hull 0-2 Barnsley

    Barnsley have their first away win of the season and maybe, just maybe, some hope.

    The bottom side did all their work in the first half with goals from Callum Styles and Carlton Morris.

    However, if Reading win, as they are doing, the Tykes will remain nine points adrift of safety.

    Reading 2-0 Birmingham City

    Still around 13 minutes to play and Gary Gardner tries his luck from range to try and reduce the deficit for Birmingham.

    Nicely-struck shot on his right but it bounces wide of the left post via a slight deflection.

    As it stands it's going to be five defeats in six for Albion and they'll be six points adrift of the play-offs.

    What a mess.

    Viktor Gyokeres (89 mins)

    Huge goal for Coventry!

    They look to have weathered the storm and taken all three points.

    Viktor Gyokeres slots the ball underneath the body of Dan Bentley after he raced on to a through ball from Gustavo Hamer.
