Championship playoff: Lampard's Coventry join Sheffield United, Bristol City, Sunderland in semifinals
The race for the Football League Championship's final two playoff spots went down to the wire, with one goal at any of three games capable of changing the picture altogether. Sheffield United and Sunderland had sealed third- and fourth-place on the table prior to kickoff, but the former had a huge role to play in the other two spots as they faced Blackburn Rovers at Bramall Lane. The day began with Bristol Rovers and Coventry City in charge of their destinies, and Jack Rudoni's goal before halftime boosted Coventry into fifth place with a 1-0 lead over Middlesbrough. And it got more tense when Bristol City went down 2-0 at home to Preston North End, opening the door for Blackburn Rovers and Millwall in seventh and eighth. But Ross McCrorie scored twice and Bristol took a tenuous sixth-place in the second halves, putting them two points clear of Blackburn and Millwall. Blackburn had scored after halftime through Yuki Ohashi, but Anel Ahmedhodzic found a quick equalizer to keep the Rovers out of a playoff spot for the moment. With just one more goal, Blackburn would reach the playoff, as Millwall's early lead at already-promoted Burnley sank into a 2-1 deficit at Turf Moor. Coventry essentially sealed their place when Rudoni made it a brace in the 88th minute, leaving it between Bristol City and Blackburn Rovers unless there was a major swing at Burnley vs Millwall. The Clarets scored again late to doom Millwall to eighth after a 3-1 decision. Eight minutes stoppage were signaled at Bramall Lane for Blackburn to find a winner. Bristol City would have six minutes to keep their point or find two more against Preston. They kept the point, and Blackburn fans were left hoping their side could defend a corner, counter and find a winner within 2-3 minutes.

McCrorie out for weeks with hamstring injury
Bristol City defender Ross McCrorie is likely to be out for six weeks with a hamstring injury. The right-back went off in the 57th minute of Saturday's 1-1 draw with had already missed a number of weeks through November into December with another hamstring issue."He's going to be a few weeks; unfortunately it's a hamstring injury so probably the best part of six weeks," head coach Liam Manning told BBC Radio 26-year-old had started eight out of the Robins' past 12 Championship matches since his return as a substitute against West Bromwich Albion on 22 December - only missing the recent defeat by Swansea because of suspension after picking up his fifth said Bristol City's busy schedule, which saw them play four games in the first 15 days of February, had meant he felt unable to rest McCrorie. "It's always that challenge when you know the schedule is what it is," Manning said."We played him midweek against Stoke but for me the turnaround [to Cardiff] was so quick that naturally someone like him ends up being a risk, but we have to put a team out and try to win the game. "Unfortunately for him he's going to be out for a little bit of a time, which is a shame because he got himself into a really good spot." McCrorie's absence compounds City's injury woes at the back, with Luke McNally ruled out for the rest of the season after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament, leaving only Zak Vyner and Rob Dickie as specialist centre-backs. The Robins take on Middlesbrough at home on Friday but have been boosted by the return of left-back Cameron Pring and midfielder Joe Williams to training following injuries. Pring has not played since New Year's Day after a hamstring issue while Williams has been out since November with an Achilles tear.
