Summary

Gregor Robertson and Tom Clarke return to cast an eye over a busy week of EFL action.

Leeds are starting to look like a team who were preseason favourites. The underlying data on their performances marks them out as the best in the Championship, by some distance. A standout player for Leeds is midfielder Ao Tanaka; Gregor looks at the impressive list of recent signings from Japanese and South Korean leagues.

At the other end of the spectrum, Hull City are struggling. Bottom three, manager booed and free scoring Middlesborough next.

Wycombe are on fire, mixing the ‘grit’ of Gareth Ainsworth’s team with the pace and quality Matt Bloomfield has brought.

Lastly, a quick look at Huddersfield, a player too good for League One and Ian Holloway is back but does his style need to change?
