Summary
Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson joins Aaron & Jobi to chat the week’s EFL headlines. Johnnie talks about Wimbledon’s start to the season, and the challenges of being a fan owned club in League 1. They discuss the aftermath of Exeter City’s 10-1 loss to Manchester City, and whether Macclesfield’s FA Cup success is the greatest FA Cup upset ever. They discuss the new managers in the championship – how good a fit is Eric Ramsay at West Brom, or Matt Bloomfield at Oxford United? And does it really matter if they are the manager or the head coach? Plus they discuss struggling Shrewsbury Town.

| 0:49.9 | Guys, new studio this week. |
| 0:52.3 | We are in old broadcasting house. I feel like we're in an |
| 0:55.3 | atmosphere steeped in history. It has that smell of history about it as well. And we have a prop. |
| 1:01.1 | It's the fighting talk bell. I don't know what it's doing in here, Joe's, but I'm going to be |
| 1:05.2 | utilising it throughout the show. I quite like it. It reminds me for anyone out there to watch |
| 1:09.6 | Breaking Bad, the old boy in it, some really interesting scenes where he's just drilling the bell, getting no response. So I'm not sure if I'm the old boy today, actually, Aaron, I think it might be. For once, you've actually made the trip in to London to come and see us, and I really am grateful, because I don't really see you that often. Well, we've got a special.

| 1:30.0 | But, Jobbs, it's really good to have you with us. |
| 1:32.1 | I've put the bell in between us, so whenever you feel like you want to ring the bell, you ring the bell. Fair enough. You're always welcome. It's also a warm welcome. And I mean, look, Jobs, it's the January transfer window. |
| 1:41.6 | We've made a signing. |
| 1:42.9 | This guy is an industrious midfielder, plenty of games across the football league, promotions, you name it. Andy sings a good song. Gold? Don't know about that. If you won the strike. 75 for midfield. It's not bad, Joe, is it? Did I not bill you? I add one to that every time I put that at that. That's big enough. |
| 2:01.3 | It's in the 70s. |
| 2:02.0 | It was a good enough intro. |
| 2:03.4 | Welcome to Wimbleda manager, Johnny Jackson, debut on 72 Plus. Thanks for having me. Thank you. Is this actually his debut? On this year? Hope, resenting debut, yeah. Wow. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. We've been trying to get him for a very long time. |
