EFL roundup: Relief for Orient, Bromley's extended unbeaten home season lands them League Two title
The biggest capital winners on the final day of the EFL season were undoubtedly Orient and Bromley, as Millwall missed out on automatic promotion, while QPR, Charlton and Watford all lost. The O's started the day in danger at the foot of League One - a two point advantage over Exeter City looking fragile in the event of a win for City down at St James' Park against Bradford City. Even a draw would not have been enough had Exeter won, but in the event, the Grecians lost 2-1 to

'We've got to keep some realism about the place' - Bromley boss reaction to dropped points
Feet on the ground - Andy Woodman's calm reaction to late equaliser : Picture by @YTJourno The message was clear: We shouldn't expect Bromley to roll over everyone who visits Hayes Lane between now and the end of the season.

Andy Woodman's side are now unbeaten in 10 games and have a handy six-point cushion

The weekend
