Despite hitting a couple of hurdles midway through the course, Coventry stayed on in the final straight to finish well clear of the field and will watch the drama unfold from the winners’ circle.

Ipswich are a length clear going into the final furlong, a point ahead of Millwall and with a huge goal-difference advantage, which is as good as another point.

The equation is clear for Town, beat QPR, adrift in mid-table, winless in five games and losers of their past three, and Kieran McKenna’s men will ensure a third promotion in four seasons. Things are never dull at Portman Road these days.

However, should the Tractor Boys falter and fail to pick up three points, the door would be open for Millwall to take second, should they finish their season with a home win over relegated Oxford United at The Den.

Middlesbrough face the toughest ask of all. Not only do they visit a Wrexham side with their own season on the line, but they need to win and hope Ipswich lose and Millwall fail to beat Oxford to sneak back into the top two, where they have spent more than three-quarters of the campaign, leading the way on three separate occasions.

The only way Boro could go up without Ipswich losing is if Kim Hellberg’s men win by six goals at the Stok Cae Ras while Town draw, and even then Boro would need Millwall to fall short in their own game.
