Hello and welcome to the game football podcast from The Times and Sunday Times.

This is our EFL extra show. Every two weeks you've got me, Tom Clark and the former Football

League defender Gregor Robertson taking a look at the highs and lows in the championship,

League 1 and League 2. Gregor, as ever, there's loads and loads to get into we always say on

the regular show how much can change in the space of a couple of days but two weeks it's time for

everything to dramatically alter I can barely keep up we really need to have about a three hour show

to get all the changes in but let's start at the top of the championship last week.

Two weeks ago, sorry, we were talking about a little wobble from Coventry.

They've reset things, two wins on the spin.

And as well, I wanted to note the goal score of the other night, Roman essay.

I mentioned at the top of the year about signings in January that could make a difference.

I thought his loan move from Crystal Palace, a very, very good signing. He scored in the 2-1 win against Millwall in the week. Very important for Frank Lampard and the team to just reset when you've got pesky journalists and editors like me going to go, oh, they're going to wobble, they're going to wobble. They've got two wins on the spin. Yeah, and with teams building ahead of steam behind the MipSwitch in particular.

So, yeah, it was big because it'd been, I think they picked up nine points from eight games before the win against Lester.

And even that win was an 85th minute winner by Haji Wright.

And then Haji Wright, again, with quite a late 78th minute winner I think it was two kind of low margin victories. You're right about essay, I mean he's made a difference Great signing. Great signing. When you think about previously a few hours ago recorded the regular show on Thursday talking about how Crystal Palace is struggling, I slightly couldn't believe they'd let him go I mean It's not really happen for him there at all like he's he's he's only had a few runouts obviously he was playing against his former team Millwell in this game where he'd be impressed his kind of end product these numbers that like in terms of goals and assists weren't like mind blowing and I think ultimately that's probably why he's not had a look in Palace but I think he'll in an already kind of

very strong team at Coventry will make a make a difference um should say car Rushworth

Rushworth made a great save at one all as well in this game game. But they've got Brandon Thomas Asante back fit as well.

He's been out for a good while with a hamstring injury.

He would have missed a while if he'd been fit

because he would have been away at AFCON anyway,

with getting a Victor Torp's back after a little while out.

So just having a few of those players fit.
