Supercomputer's new League One forecast with Bradford City, Barnsley, Huddersfield Town & Doncaster Rovers verdicts

Opta have predicted where the likes of Bradford City, Barnsley and Huddersfield Town will finish in the League One table.

It was an eventful weekend over in Huddersfield, as the Terriers parted ways with manager Lee Grant.

The axe was wielded after a 3-1 defeat on the road against Burton Albion, a result that pushed the promotion hopefuls down into the sixth.

Huddersfield are now hoping a new manager can breathe life into their season and former Bristol City boss Liam Manning is believed to be in the running.

Elsewhere in West Yorkshire, Bradford saw their automatic promotion hopes dented by league leaders Cardiff City. Jenson Metcalfe pulled one back in the second half but David Turnbull and Calum Chambers had already done the damage and Cardiff won 2-1.

Barnsley left it late but managed to pick up a much-needed win, defeating Blackpool courtesy of a David McGoldrick brace.

Doncaster Rovers also secured three precious points, defeating AFC Wimbledon 1-0 away from home with the help of a last-gasp Owen Bailey header.

Rotherham United, however, saw their struggles continue with a 3-2 loss to Stockport County at Edgeley Park. There were positive signs as the Millers rallied in the second half, only to leave empty-handed.

Elsewhere, Wigan Athletic were beaten by Bolton Wanderers and Exeter City breezed past Stevenage. Luton Town and Lincoln City shared the spoils, Plymouth Argyle edged past Peterborough United and Northampton Town lost to Wycombe Wanderers.

Mansfield Town heaped misery on Port Vale with a 3-0 victory and Leyton Orient came out on top against Reading.

Following the latest round of League One fixtures, here is how the Opta supercomputer expects the final table to look.
