MATCH CENTRE: Defeats for Leeds United, wins for Bradford and Huddersfield, while Bradford draw... plus team news from Barnsley, Doncaster Rovers, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday

Leeds United missed out on the chance of automatic promotion from League One after falling to a 1-0 defeat at Charlton Athletic.

Coupled with Millwall's defeat at Tranmere, it means five teams, including Huddersfield after they beat Colchester 2-1, can still claim second spot behind Norwich going into next weekend's final match.

Rotherham United clinched their League Two play-off spot with a goalless draw against Crewe, while Peter Taylor celebrated signing his new Bradford City contract with a 2-0 win.

West Brom v Barnsley

Team news: Out of contract duo Daniel Bogdanovic and Anderson De Silva are both injured for the Tykes while on-loan midfielder Filipe Teixeira will not be involved against his parent club. Teenager Alistair Taylor, who signed his first professional deal yesterday, is set to figure.
