Reading secured a much-needed success on the road and Swansea extended their impressive unbeaten run to nine games.Elsewhere, Gordon Strachan made a less than auspicious start to his reign at Middlesbrough.West Brom had won only one of their last six heading into their meeting with Watford, but returned to form and the top of the table courtesy of a comfortable 5-0 success on home soil.Bristol City are still well placed among the promotion-chasing pack, but they could only muster a 1-1 draw against dogged Sheffield Wednesday.Preston were also forced to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace and remain on the fringes of the play-offs as a result.Blackpool clambered into the top six this weekend, but only just as they were held 3-3 in a thriller against Doncaster. Reading desperately needed to halt their recent slump, and ease the pressure on boss Brendan Rodgers, and they did just that as they saw off Coventry 3-1 at the Ricoh Arena.Ipswich remain bottom of the table, but they are now level on points with faltering Peterborough after David Wright handed them a priceless 1-0 win against out of sorts Derby.Peterborough are in deep trouble towards the foot of the table after Barnsley recovered from going a goal down to claim a 2-1 success at London Road.Swansea continue to make impressive progress up the rankings, with goals from Craig Beattie and Cedric van der Gun enough to see off Scunthorpe in their latest outing.Strachan's first game in charge of Middlesbrough failed to capture the imagination of the locals as Boro slipped to a 1-0 defeat against lowly Plymouth at the Riverside Stadium.Adam Johnson missed from the penalty spot on a dismal afternoon for the hosts, who slip out of the play-off places.
