Middlesbrough maintained their position in the top six with a 2-1 win at play-off hopefuls Birmingham.Lewis Wing put Boro ahead in the 37th minute and, although Che Adams’ 13th goal this term drew the Blues level, Britt Assombalonga grabbed a late winner.Nathan Jones’ reign at Stoke started in disappointing fashion, losing 3-1 at Brentford.Jones left Luton to replace the sacked Gary Rowett earlier this week, but Stoke were 2-0 behind inside 17 minutes following an own goal from Ryan Shawcross and Saido Benrahma’s effort. Benik Afobe gave the visitors hope only for Rico Henry to seal the points for the Bees in the 54th minute.Life after Aitor Karanka started terribly for Nottingham Forest with a 2-0 defeat at Reading.The Spaniard left the City Ground on Friday and nine-man Forest missed the chance to close the gap on sixth-placed Derby as the Royals moved to within two points of safety.4
