id=\"h-championship-manager-of-the-season\">Championship Manager of the Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frank Lampard<\/strong>&nbsp;has done a fantastic job at Coventry City, inheriting a team that had been languishing as low as&nbsp;17<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;when he took charge midway through the&nbsp;previous&nbsp;season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a top six-capable best XI but a squad lacking depth on a midtable budget,&nbsp;Lampard got the Sky Blues into the play-offs in his first season and, after an unfortunate defeat to Sunderland,&nbsp;are on course to secure top spot in his second&nbsp;campaign \u2013&nbsp;with promotion a formality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elsewhere,&nbsp;Millwall\u2019s challenge, since James&nbsp;Berylson&nbsp;inherited ownership from his father, has been to&nbsp;retain&nbsp;the club\u2019s core battling principles, whilst finding ways to develop players and increase the value of the squad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alex Neil<\/strong>&nbsp;has done just that at the Den \u2013 nurturing prospects like Tristan&nbsp;Crama&nbsp;and Femi Azeez \u2013 and is on course to deliver, at the very least, their first Play-Off finish since&nbsp;2002.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Championship\u2019s biggest underdog story, meanwhile, has come at Hull City,&nbsp;who had a transfer ban in the summer that saw them priced among the relegation favourites, and yet&nbsp;<strong>Sergej&nbsp;Jakirovic<\/strong>&nbsp;is set to manage them to a top six finish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tigers&nbsp;haven\u2019t&nbsp;controlled many games this season, and&nbsp;they\u2019ve&nbsp;had plenty of luck along the way, but with the likes of Liam Millar, Joe&nbsp;Gelhardt&nbsp;and Oli McBurnie, they carry a real threat when they come forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most creative team in the Championship, on the other hand, has been Middlesbrough, which speaks volumes for the in-possession patterns of play&nbsp;<strong>Kim Hellberg<\/strong>&nbsp;has stamped on this time, marrying the&nbsp;flair they had under Carrick with the solidity they had under Edwards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it looks like a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal \u2013 especially at home to the weaker sides \u2013 will cost them automatic promotion,&nbsp;but their level of performance gives them some positive foundations moving into the Play-Offs, if they can make them count.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gab Sutton&#8217;s Pick: <\/strong>Frank Lampard (Coventry City)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

overwhelming success story this season, with&nbsp;<strong>Michael&nbsp;Skubala\u2019s&nbsp;<\/strong>underdogs&nbsp;wrapping up promotion with as many as five games to spare!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Imps had&nbsp;only&nbsp;finished&nbsp;11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;last season, having been in rebuild following four key departures from a strong Play-Off challenge the year before,&nbsp;and&nbsp;they\u2019ve&nbsp;seen the benefit of sticking with their tactically astute head coach during a bad winter run that year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The players they invested in that year \u2013 particularly Tom Hamer,&nbsp;Conor&nbsp;McGrandles&nbsp;and Rob Street \u2013 have all paid them back in spades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skubala&nbsp;will inevitably attract interest for his achievements,&nbsp;but&nbsp;Lincoln&nbsp;are&nbsp;good for him as much as&nbsp;he\u2019s&nbsp;good for Lincoln:&nbsp;he\u2019s&nbsp;got an excellent recruitment team in place at Sincil Bank, and coaches in Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw who complement his leadership style superbly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardiff City\u2019s achievement of a top two finish might feel lesser by comparison, as a club that had been playing in the Championship last season, but&nbsp;<strong>Brian Barry-Murphy\u2019s<\/strong>&nbsp;work is not to be sniffed at.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bluebirds&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;make a single outfield signing prior to August, off the back of relegation, which highlights the Irishman\u2019s willingness to nurture homegrown prospects like Dylan Lawlor and Ronan&nbsp;Kpakio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BBM has brought fantastic developmental qualities and stylistic ideals to the Welsh capital, where City have played some delightful football and&nbsp;look more than ready for their Championship return.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoping to join them are Bradford City, where&nbsp;<strong>Graham Alexander<\/strong>&nbsp;is on course to deliver a top-six finish in Bradford City&#8217;s first season back up at this level when, despite the club\u2019s estimable stature,&nbsp;much of the fanbase would have been content with consolidation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The West Yorkshire outfit have recruited superbly under Alexander, and play an intense, high-energy game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the&nbsp;greatest underdog story of the lot, though, comes at Stevenage, whom&nbsp;<strong>Alex Revell<\/strong>&nbsp;has in the play-offs, four points clear of seventh,&nbsp;with four games&nbsp;remaining.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boro&nbsp;have&nbsp;a bottom-end budget for the level, but&nbsp;they\u2019ve&nbsp;planned sensibly for this season, enhancing the ammunition for Jamie Reid to recapture his 2023-24 form with a full pre-season, while&nbsp;retaining&nbsp;their uncompromising defensive foundations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gab Sutton&#8217;s Pick:

person at Bromley who&nbsp;wasn\u2019t&nbsp;completely satisfied with last season\u2019s top-half finish, in their first year as a Football League club.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always with a hunger to strive for better,&nbsp;Woodman has led the Ravens to the top of League Two this season; they only need one more win to secure promotion,&nbsp;and two to land the title.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Success at Hayes Lane has been built on a fantastic culture, a humble group, outstanding out-of-possession organisation, and a team that knows how they can hurt the opposition:&nbsp;from set pieces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mitch Pinnock\u2019s pinpoint deliveries, Omar Sowunmi\u2019s towering aerial presence and Michael Cheek\u2019s poaching&nbsp;proficiency&nbsp;has been key for Bromley, as Woodman&nbsp;oversees one of the best underdog stories in the EFL.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s&nbsp;been less the case for <strong>Paul Warne<\/strong>, and his \u00a38m budget at MK Dons, but that can bring&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;own challenges&nbsp;and the former Rotherham boss has led his team on course for promotion back to League One in his first full season in charge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elsewhere, <strong>Neil Harris<\/strong> has&nbsp;established&nbsp;a Cambridge United side that are incredibly consistent and reliable: they do the basics well for 90 minutes,&nbsp;and that has translated into performances and results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A sturdy,&nbsp;workmanlike&nbsp;spine with a star individual in Ben Knight, Harris\u2019 team have put themselves in a great position to secure an instant return to League One.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Micky Mellon<\/strong>, meanwhile, has Oldham on the fringes of the Play-Off scramble in their first season back in the EFL, via an unbeaten run of eight wins in nine across February and March.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mellon is loved at Boundary Park, has a great relationship with owner Frank Rothwell,&nbsp;and will be keen to take them back to the third tier \u2013 this season or next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gab Sutton&#8217;s Pick: <\/strong>Andy Woodman
