    Rotherham were down before the day started, and the fight to avoid joining the Millers in League One has only got more intense.

    Huddersfield's dramatic late win against Millwall saw the Terriers spring out of the bottom three, where they have been replaced by Birmingham after their defeat by Leicester.

    Blues are now equal on points with second-from-bottom Sheffield Wednesday, who beat QPR 2-0.

    Stoke also boosted their survival hopes after battling back to draw 2-2 with promotion hopefuls West Brom.

    Coventry 2-1 Leeds

    Jon Newsome
    Former Leeds defender on ±«Óãtv Radio Leeds

    I feel like we got bullied. Coventry fought for everything, and didn't give a yard.

    When we upped everything in the second half we got the goal, but by then it was too late.

    We just need to get our heads down now, plug away, and see where the last five games take us.

    Stoke 2-2 West Brom

    It ends 2-2 between Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion at the bet365 Stadium.

    The Baggies had led 2-0 but a second half fightback from Stoke earns them a point.

    West Brom will be frustrated to drop two points when 2-0 up. They would have been eight clear of the sides outside the top six in fifth, had they won.

    While it is a good point for Stoke, their lead on the bottom three has been cut to four points due to results elsewhere.
