You might want to look away now, Hull City fans.

The Tigers went backwards more than any other side compared to the previous season under Liam Rosenior, dropping from seventh place and three points outside the play-offs to only escaping relegation on goal difference on the final day.

Cardiff went from mid-table in 2023-24 to rock bottom and will drop down to League One for the first time in 22 years. It is pretty clear to see why as the Bluebirds picked up 18 fewer points compared to the previous season.

Norwich tumbled to 13th place after finishing in the play-offs a year before - an underperformance which ultimately cost Johannes Hoff Thorup his job as head coach.

Preston were 10 points off the play-off places in 2023-24 but picked up 13 fewer points under Paul Heckingbottom in what was their worst season since they were relegated from the Championship in 2010-11.

The Lilywhites' downturn was largely due to a major dip in form in the latter stages of the campaign, picking up only one win from their final 15 games (D7 L7) to avoid the drop by just one point.

West Bromwich Albion endured a disappointing season - for a club which always harbours ambitions of plying its trade in the top flight - with an 11-point drop off.

Albion's final points tally of 64 was their worst in the Championship since 1999-2000.

Plymouth may have only been five points worse off than they were in 2023-24 but having survived on the final day that season, there were to be no such heroics this time around and their two-year stint in the second tier is over.

And the rest... 5g2n42

Why Leeds 'need to be studying opponents now'published at 12:25 5 June12:25 5 June 631i3c

We asked for your questions for BBC Sport pundit Nedum Onuoha on your Premier League club.

Richard asked what the hardest parts of adapting to the Premier League are after securing promotion.

In the Championship, the team with the best players will more often than not end up near the top of the league because there is such a disparity.

In the Premier League, every team has international players and they all have experience of being there. They all keep themselves in top shape, know ways to win, know ways to manage games and get over the line, and they are all coached really well.

The Premier League is now a hotbed for the world's best coaches so the separation between managers is not as big as you find in the Championship.

All established Premier League clubs have expectations and big budgets. The nature of the players, the facilities, the understanding, the belief - it all plays into it.

With Leeds coming back up, I like that they have experienced it not long ago, and had a season when they stayed up. They have had a feel of being an underdog on a week-to-week basis and not being expected to win most matches.

Outside the Premier League, we sometimes focus on the teams at the top of the league, see how good they are and somewhat disregard the rest.

In the top flight they are the top 20 teams in the country. You do not realise how good every side is until it is your club promoted and playing against them every week.

On paper, the teams in the lower half have better players than the side just promoted with 100 points.

Everyone in the Premier League is good and Leeds need to find a way to get points as quickly as possible.

They also need to be studying opponents now. I guarantee teams will be studying them, and the games they are targeting to get points from will be tougher than they think.
