Summary

Lyle Taylor and Tommy Smith join Aaron Paul to discuss the week's EFL headlines.

They dissect the latest managerial situation at Middlesbrough, with Kim Hellberg expected to be the new man in the dugout. Tommy also talks about his new role at Middlesbrough, as the loans manager, following his retirement from the club earlier this year.

Philippe Clement is in at Norwich, so the panel discuss the direction of the club and whether that appointment is a coup or a gamble, plus how hopeful the Canaries can now be this season.

In League One, with just six points separating the top 12, who is best placed to break free of the pack at the top of the table? And who makes the EFL Ultimate XI, or is it time for a rival team?

Finally, with over 100 National League fixtures kicking off three minutes late over the international break, will the 3UP initiative lead to an extra promotion spot to the football league?
