Frank Lampard's Coventry City has secured promotion to the Premier League after a 25-year absence, but Sam Parkin warns the Sky Blues face a battle to retain their manager. Parkin notes that Coventry's attractive style of play differs from the more robust approaches of recent promoted clubs like Luton Town, raising questions about their Premier League prospects.

Elsewhere in the Championship, Southampton has emerged as a late contender for the second automatic promotion spot. Parkin highlights their unprecedented eight-game winning streak and manager Tonda Eckert's tactical flexibility as key factors in their surge. The race remains tight with Ipswich Town, Middlesbrough, and Millwall all vying for promotion.

In League One, Bromley achieved a remarkable feat by securing promotion with two games to spare, marking their first-ever entry into the third tier. Parkin praises manager Andy Woodman's achievement and warns that Bromley's underdog spirit and home form could make them dangerous opponents in League One next season.
