Well, after 46 games the Championship is over. Now for the important bit.

At the end of the regular season Millwall and Hull were separated by precisely 10 points, with the Londoners ending up just a couple away from skipping the playoffs entirely by coming second, and Hull also two away from skipping the playoffs by finishing seventh. That despite Millwall scoring just 64 goals, the fewest in the top eight – and, indeed, not as many as Sheffield United, who finished 13th.
