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...

Former boss Wayne Rooney gave Joe Hatch his first-team debut after a number of injuries up front
Plymouth Argyle youngsters Jack Matthews and Joe Hatch have agreed new deals for the 2025-26 season.
Defender Matthews, 19, first agreed professional last year and spent last season on loan at Tavistock United and Taunton Town.
Hatch, 18, was prolific up front for Argyle's youth team last season and has signed his first professional deal.
He made his first-team debut as a late substitute in Argyle's 1-0 loss at Burnley last October.

Miron Muslic was in charge at Plymouth Argyle for just four months
Plymouth Argyle have started the search for their next head coach after Miron Muslic left last week to German side Schalke.
Names such as Jack Wilshere, Rob Edwards, Ian Evatt and Michael Duff are being put forward by fans as possible options to succeed Muslic.
But Joe Bell from the Green and White podcast, which follows the ups and downs of Argyle, says stability is key after three different managers since Steven Schumacher left the club 18 months ago.
"When you think about the last couple of years, we had so much stability before Steven Schumacher left," Bell told BBC Spotlight.
"Since he departed for Stoke, we've lost all semblance of stability.
"It's our fourth search in a very short space of time for a head coach and we need to find somebody who's going to stick around."
"I hope it's a swift appointment, but it needs to be the right person," he added.
"Somebody who has promotion credentials in English football, preferably in this league, and maybe someone who isn't a flash name who won't be as attractive to other clubs when they're doing well at Argyle.
"If we can find that mix - and I don't know where we find them - but if we can get that together, we'll have found the right man."

Miron Muslic was in charge at Plymouth Argyle for less than five months
We asked you for your views on who you would like to see take over at Plymouth Argyle after Miron Muslic's departure as head coach.
There were many names thrown into the hat, but some more often than others.
Here are some of the top names Argyle fans told BBC Sport they would like to see at Home Park.
Toots: How about Paul Wotton? Solid manager, knows Plymouth and has been around in his playing days.
Ben: I'd go for Paul Wotton if he's interested. Doing a decent job in the lower leagues and would show some loyalty.
Daryl: Luke Williams could be a contender. A promising, attacking manager looking to rebuild after not quite making it in the Championship with Swansea. Could be the man to get the best out of players like Rami Al Hajj and Michael Baidoo.
Simon: Give the job to Mr Argyle, Kevin Nancekivell. He is local, knows the club inside out & the area, exotic managers haven't done it in recent times!!!
Jacob: Rob Edwards would be the perfect man for the Argyle job. His modern football alongside his attacking focuses really reaches the consistency with Argyle's desires. We've played this type of football for many years now, from Ryan Lowe to Steven Schumacher - it worked.

Steven Schumacher led Plymouth Argyle to the League One title in 2023
John: Big mistake to not reappointed Steven Schumacher. Perhaps we can beg Bolton with the Schalke pay-off. Better option than an unknown or a big name mercenary. Option B... Mr Warnock.
Bruce: Neil Warnock. His CV and successful record in both getting promotions and avoiding relegation is unmatched by anyone else likely to apply.
Mark: We need a manager who is loyal first and foremost… give it to Joe Edwards with Nance beside him and with the Green Army behind them.
Dan: I think it's time for Joe Edwards to take the job. We need someone with a strong connection to the club. No more six-month managers.
Andrew: I'd like Paul Wotton to be given the role. Whilst he hasn't managed at the highest level he has got experience and is Plymouth through and through. Lots of Argyle fans seem to pour scorn on the idea but for me he's our man, no question.
Simon: I think we do best at Argyle when we go about our business quietly. So no 'big' names, thank you. Our most successful managers over the past 25 years (Paul Sturrock, Ian Holloway, Derek Adams, Ryan Lowe) have been good managers looking for the next step, rather than well-known managers on their way down.
Steve: I'd give Wayne Rooney another go, League Two would be easier to win a game in.

Miron Muslic was in charge at Plymouth Argyle for just over four months
With head coach Miron Muslic set to leave the club - with German side Schalke looking like his new employers - who should Plymouth Argyle replace him with?
Do they need a big name, or someone who knows League One? Do they have to have an Argyle connection or should they come to the club with a clean slate?
The club has gone through a fair few head coaches since Steven Schumacher left towards the end of 2023 - first Ian Foster, then Wayne Rooney before being replaced by Muslic.
Should they just give the role to perennial caretaker manager and 'Mr Argyle' Kevin Nancekivell?
