Promotion and relegation matters may have already been settled heading into the final day of the Championship season, but the battle for two play-off spots provided plenty of twists and turns.
Coventry City and Millwall sat fifth and sixth respectively at the start of the day, but Sunderland, Blackburn Rovers and West Bromwich Albion all harboured hopes of gate-crashing the top six.
Coventry travelled to fourth-placed Middlesbrough and Millwall entertained Blackburn in the last round of fixtures, while Sunderland faced a trip to Preston and West Brom went to Swansea.
With the ultimate reward of a trip to Wembley on Saturday, 27 May and promotion to the Premier League at stake, the pressure appeared to do different things to different teams.
