Summary
Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Gregor Robertson, Tom Roddy and Jonathan Northcroft.
Aston Villa have been heavily linked to Rangers manager Steven Gerrard. Is it the right move for him and how would the move be seen north of the border? (00:00)
Eddie Howe has spoken to the media and taken training already at Newcastle. Now he’s got his feet under the table at St James’ Park - is he the right man to lead them away from relegation and how long-term is he? (16:46)
Scotland are looking for a result against Moldova in Friday night’s World Cup qualifier. What are their chances without Lyndon Dykes and who will lead the line? (36:05)
England need four points to qualify automatically. They take on Albania and San Marino, so that isn’t expected to be hard. Who will take Mason Mount’s place in the side and are the side still suffering from the Italy trauma? (40:31)
Hugh caught up with England defender John Stones ahead of the latest World Cup qualifiers. Why didn’t he get much of a game at Manchester City at the start of the season and are England over their Euro 2020 final loss? (52:39)
