EFL Extra: Is ‘fancy’ football finished ...

THE TIMES
About this episode

Tom Clarke and Gregor Robertson with all the latest from the EFL.


Coventry City top the Championship and Stevenage top League One…did anyone see that coming?

Frank Lampard has his team scoring for fun, and they’re not the only surprise in the Championship with Preston, Stoke and QPR all flying high. Does it sign post a change in football style or will the money and ‘progressive’ football of Ipswich, Birmingham or Wrexham eventually rise to the top?

In League One, two managerial changes as Blackpool and Luton ditch Steve Bruce and Matt Bloomfield. Was it coming and who is likely to fill the vacancies?

In League Two Walsall are back on top - can they stay there this time?
