0:00.0	Hello there, you're listening to the Not the Top 20 podcast.
0:22.9	We talk about EFL football, and we are Ali Maxwell and George Ellick.
0:27.9	We've had three rounds of fixtures, and we're going to talk about the main topics from the weekend,
0:33.6	some teams that we haven't discussed so far this season and really take the temperature of a few teams

1:20.4	Actually, Sol Campbell leaving McElfield was the first in the whole EFL, but he was followed pretty closely by Jan Seawart at Huddersfield. They played on Friday
1:28.9	night home to Fulham. They lost 2-1 and before the clock struck midnight, he was sacked.
1:37.6	It seemed like in midweek when they lost to Lincoln in the Carabal Cup, despite a lot of changes
1:42.3	in that game, there was a real sea change in terms of how the fans were feeling
